FX Panthera Buffer Tube Adapter

Now if only we could get a adaptor for a long airtube up front!

A long airtube would be perfect for this gun. One that will go to almost the end of the 700mm and one that will go almost to the end of the 600 would be awesome.

How about a square tube that has the threads timed so a flat is at the bottom..... then have one of the bottoms have a built in Arca rail . Would knock out two birds with one stone then !!

Or even an aluminum sleeve that is able to sinch down on the cylinder.

I dont think it is possible to have a square air tube hold high air pressure. And even if you could it would be really expensive.

I was thinking about that, but I am sure you would be able to sleeve the actual cylinder inside the square tube. That would also help protect the cylinder as well from bumps and damage.

Wouldn't have to be a drilled hole, could be two pieces that are braised together. Not sure if that will cause issues with the pressure vessel or not, or just have a a few through bolts that will clamp the sleeve on the cylinder.

Actually welding on pressure tanks is considered a no no, but must be done in certain cases. When you do it must be done a certain way, stress rellieved, and then it must be x-rayed to be safe. This would of course make it cost prohibited.

Enclosing a air tube in a squarish U section is probably a better solution if you don't want to see the tube and want protection for it.

If you had a bottle up front, could a foldable stock be a future option?

I just got an email that some items which we pre-ordered were on there way to me. One being the new Javelin slugs in .25 and second being the buffer tube adapter; i hope its both items.
If the buffer tube adapter is in the shipment I am going to try my Dream-Tac folding stock adapter to see if it will fit and work.

I was planning on using a folder on mine when i get it. I don't see why they wouldn't work. Only issue is if they lock folded that might not work on the gun.

Most likely not the tube adapter. BUT as of today they have all been machined and are at the anodizer. Should be shipping to dealers sometime between the 14th-18th.
If you ordered from a dealer like UA, DM us and I will coordinate with the dealer and ship it directly to you; will speed things up.

I sent a pm to you.

Thank you for the quick shipping! I received the package this afternoon.

For those wondering…

Has anyone else had trouble threading their buffer tube on the K&L adapter? I've tried 6 different mil-spec buffer tubes and none of them make it past the first thread and then bind up. I dont want to use any significant force - you shouldnt have to with buffer tube threads....did I get a defective unit by chance?

Mine is the same way. I contacted them and they gave me a link to a tube he said would work, but I was going to put on a folding adapter. They said a couple others had the same issue. Contact them, they are working on another batch to fix it.
