Default Mil-Spec vs. Commercial Buffer Tubes Explained (with Measurements)

“Isn’t mil-spec better than commercial? I want what the military uses!” That’s a question and a statement often made by so many black rifle builders and shooters. This quick lil’ guide explains the similarities and differences between mil-spec and commercial AR-15 buffer tubes.

This complete guide explains the differences between mil-spec and commercial buffer tubes.

It explains the differences between tube diamaters, threads, buttstock compatibility, and receiver compatibility.
