I have the "stock" stock on my rifle, but would like to upgrade to a stock with a friction lock and better cheek weld. My rifle has the commercial buffer tube and I would like to just change out the stock itself. Any recommendations? Are my options limited with the commercial buffer tube to the point where I am going to have to switch to a mil spec buffer tube?? Any help is appreciated!

I suspect the Bushmaster commercial extention is a tad out of spec. FWIW It is still an excellent stock and is alot tighter than the standard

I like how the mil-spec tube gives me more options for using different stocks.
