Vltor RE-A5 --- availability zero - Now available

FWIW, the LMT 308 receiver extension part number is LMP259C.

Got one on order. I really like the LMT carbine one I already have. I guess I’ll piece together a rogue A5…

AFAIK you can only get them directly from Magpul.

That is where I got mine. I’ve noticed that Magpul ships fast - but that doesn’t make any difference if they aren’t in stock.

I used an LMT 308 extension with my A5 system, and it works great.

When was the last it time anyone saw the Magpul version available?

The BCM version is available:

I don’t think I’ve ever seen it unavailable.

Lol, for real, thats the way I always go.

Forward Controls Design has the Vltor extensions in stock, if you prefer them over the BCM version. I have both and see no functional difference.

Does anyone know where the various buffers are in stock? Thanks

Midway shows available on almost all buffer weights

Thanks much. Don’t know how i missed midway in my search.

I do prefer the Vltor A5 receiver extensions to the BCM and Magpul versions. The Vltor REs have a nicer finish and are much smoother internally.

They must have went fast because they were out of stock just now when I looked.

FCD is pretty consistent on them.

They must have gone real fast because I looked for them at about 0100 PST and again @ 0900. I’m wondering if he saw the standard version and thought it was an A5.

Midway puts them on sale pretty regularly. If you are not in a rush put the one you want on your wishlist or in your cart. When it goes on sale you will get an email notifying you.

ar15 safespace has the tube and kit with a5h2buffer in stock.

$50 for the tube $110.00 for the kit.

I just got my notice from Optics Planet that it’s on the way. So I guess Vltor has got all the backlog covered.

ETA: and don’t forget to watch for Mem. Day sales.
