Lightest weight AR buffer tubes?
In my build for a Ruger Charger with a Sig Brace, I need a buffer tube to attach the brace to. Obviously it doesn't need to be metal, so are their any polymer AR buffer tubes out there? If not, what about skeletonized buffer tubes?

A “pistol” buffer tube dosent weigh hardly anything by itself. Just go with a standard aluminum one and enjoy

The Sig brace is where you could really reduce the weight.
There are other "braces" that are much lighter.

Seeing as how it's really not going to be used as a buffer tube, just something to mount the brace to, I figure that I could make my own buffer tube on a lathe and skeletonize it.
