Are the DSA buffer tubes made from 7075 aluminum or 6061?

what really is the difference? if there is any?

is one less inferior? one will break sooner? one is thicker? more durable?

on another note, i bought a couple of those "generic" SOPMOD buttstock that some arf members were selling here which was for "milspec" i tried it on three mil spec tubes including a "colt" milspec tube and they didnt even fit, on the colt one? it will go on but it was a two man evolution to take it off the tube. when my POF rifle arrived? "chaching!" fits like a glove and what a SOPMOD fit should be.

i think its safe to say that "milspec" or "commercial" they are not all the same circumference.

Im no gun guru or expert, just wanted to share my experience

its made of a different aluminum, but out of the 3,000 we have sold, never a return, and never broken one.   I have them on some of my guns, works perfect

The stock body is out of spec, not the tube. I have a DSA tube with one of the B5 SOPMODS and it works fine after modifying the stock to fit.
