Overview
The Bravo Company Manufacturing Mk2 Receiver Extension is a Mil-Spec carbine buffer tube made from durable 7075-T6 aluminum, designed to withstand the rigors of heavy use. This tube only assembly provides a reliable foundation for your buffer system, ensuring optimal performance in your AR-15 build. It is commonly found in builds featuring a Mid-Length gas system chambered in 5.56 NATO, making it a versatile choice for various shooting applications.
Bravo Company Manufacturing MK2 Receiver Extension was the fourth most added buffer tube on GunPartPicker in August 2026, behind the Strike Industries Carbine Length Pistol Buffer Tube - Red, with about 6% of all buffer tubes added to builds. That's its 4th straight month at #4. Builds with this buffer tube are mostly chambered in 5.56 NATO (63%, then .223 Wylde 25%), split between mid-length (50%) and intermediate (17%) gas systems, and mostly AR-15 (88%, then AR-10 13%).
Availability is good: it was in stock at one retailer or another nearly every day in August 2026, and today 8 of the 9 retailers we track have it in stock. Prices barely moved in August 2026, holding around $49.95, so there haven't been real sales lately. Buying today, the lowest price is $49.95 at Brownells, which matches the best price we saw in August.

QD socket holds tight
BCM Mk2 receiver extension is comfortable to shoulder but heavier than I expected for the application. Anodize is the matte black BCM uses. Six positions click positively. Threads to a standard milspec castle nut. Quality construction.
