Thanks for the demonstrations... I've bought both mil spec buffer tube and stock and somehow I was convinced my stock was commercial. This video assures me I've got the right parts.
Great video! Lots of good info. I just want to add that the process of making these tubes are very different. MIL-SPEC tubes are machined out of a solid piece of billet aluminum. Because of this, they are more rigid and thinner walled than the COM-SPEC tubes. The COM-SPEC tubes use an extruding process which cuts down on the production cost and is a little weaker. Just thought you would like to know.
Right on great video! I didn't know there was a commercial stock or buffer tube. I just knew of mil spec. For people like me and this being my first ar and don't know certain things about the ar platform. Much appreciated!!! Thx William
Nice description between the buffer tube sizes. All my AR builds use the Mil Spec tubes and have replaced many commercial tubes to Mil Spec tubes also. Quality on the Mil Spec is much nicer. Nicely done G2.
When u change the buffer tube from commercial to mil spec will I be able to use the same springs ? Or will I need the tube and the set of springs n tools to go with it
Also the buffer is sloppy loose in the aftermarket buffer tube. Sometimes allowing the buffer tube retainer/spring to pop loose in the lower receiver and jam the trigger. Mil spec is the only to go, IMO!
It's a common mistake, not only for owners, but retailers as well that mis pack when shipping. Also good to know if we ever have another gun show to go to again...lol
My AR came with a commercial tube and shitty A2 stock. Would it be worth it to upgrade the tube and stock instead of just going with a commercial stock?
I recall a political drive for America to adopt the metric system, however, balanced minds prevailed and for intelligent and logical reasons the attempt was denied. We have every right to use any system of measurement to accomplish a program. I welcome your reply, I must now complete reloading my 11.43mm ammunition. LOL Gott Mit Uns
What’s .92 mm in inches, bro? Quick, off the top of your head. Don’t be so daft. There’s a good reason even the best American scientists use the metric system almost exclusively. Even your small pocket pal is more impressive sounding in centimeters than inches. You must not be a 9mm fan. Or, as relates to this video, 5.56. That’s millimeters too. Get your GED before your next post.

I did not know that. All the more reason to always go milspec.
Extremely informative. Helped me out a lot.
Glad it helped! Logan Cross

Thanks Wayne LaCrosse for being a subscriber...love hearing from you guys!

The one I have is all round there’s no grooves

Agreed 100%, commercial is junk...
as long as the stock fits on the tube it should be fine right? Its not going to break if I have a stock on the wrong tube?
it should yeah, might be a little wobbly or tight depending on the configuration.
Can I change the buffer tube
Of course
Hey man, like your camo design on your AR-15 receiver. How do you apply the camo design?
Using vinyl stickers and various color spray paint
If you check out my DIY camo video, its basically the same principle but with digital style vinyl stickers
That camo receiver is sick 💯🤘🏼
Lol thanks
thank you! did the same.. ordered milspec stock not knowing the differece.. seems like i got lucky cause of that oval profile of buffertube :)
Good stuff!
If you change a lower from a commercial to a mil-spec, do you need to make any spring and buffer changes?
No
Thank you so much...
The mil spec tube is flat, commercial is slanted.
Branden's Outdoor Channel You make a great point!
NO MENTION of I.D. of tube or if it is capable with the plunger
Don't follow what you're asking/requesting? What plunger?

Thanks for sharing this info. It looks like anyone who has an ar is going to make this mistake lol

The first 48sec is me completely 😂
I did this, bought a milspec from Magpul when I needed the commercial. Now I have a milspec stock that don’t work.

@@G2niverse Thanks, I appreciate the input.

Hey did you delete the reply to the question?? I also would like to know if it's worth it
Upgrade it!
Totally agree

Size matters. Least that's what she said.
Turkey trail honey bee farm Georgia lol
It'll also damage the tube
left your site when you measured in mm. This is America
Almost a funny and sweet burn, except for the fact ive never heard of a 0.35inch round...oh thats right, its a 9mm.
