I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. I went to put a looped end plate on the buffer tube for my Brand New, unfired Spike's Tactical lower. The nut was put on at the factory improperly. I had to buy another buffer tube and 6 position stock to replace the defective Spike's Tactical.
Spikes Tactical would not warranty or even look at the buffer tube. They Didn't even look at it.
I have done this mod a half dozen times. Second time on a Spikes. Look at the pics and see for yourselves. Most of the people at Spikes Tactical were very helpful, it was one guy in their warranty department that would not warranty the product even though he had not seen it.
I told the guy "Let me send it to you, if it is determined that I'm an (expletive) and I broke it no loss you can just throw it away and I'll be fine with that." He told me not to send it in and throw it away myself.
I absolutely would not recommend Spike's Tactical to anyone. Most everyone was helpful it was just that one guy.
The complete Spikes Lower that I bought brand new. I had to buy another buffer tube that you see on the lower receiver when I removed the bottom one which is the original Spikes the nut was put on improperly and stripped the buffer tube. Luckily the threaded part of the buffer tube that attaches to the lower receiver was not stripped when it was installed on the lower receiver.
As you can see on the other Spikes Tactical lower I have the threaded part of the buffer tube is not stripped and will screw into a lower receiver.
The assembler and tester:
Stripped from the factory
I was able to fix it with an aftermarket buffer tube and 6 position stock:
