And your point is?

What's that got to do with the fascination with metal buffer tubes?

You seem to be saying why overly focus on any component that doesn't specifically increase the accuracy and I just pointed out you're concerned about the look of your rifle as well.

Have I misunderstood your comment?

No you don't, the polymer ones will work just fine

Does a metal buffer tube look any different to a polymer one?

Just a casual enquiry...a single question hardly counts as a "fascination".
Given the OP was remarking that the supplied stock was a bit wobbly I just wondered if he had a plastic buffer tube....that's all, not "fascinated" just interested.

I didn't realise you could get buffer tubes that weren't metal. Sounds fascinating....

There was a big debate al while back about how "poor" quality a certain rifle was because it had a polymer buffer tube and not a aluminium and misguided perception that that must be bad.

If a stock was wobbly it would not be because the buffer tube was polymer per se , it could be a variety of reasons.
