Elaborate, please.

Don't get me wrong, the answer is no, but are you referring to the receiver extension or the extended buttpad?

It would "fit" in the sense that the stock would slide onto the buffer tube, but the commercial spec tube is of a larger diameter than the milspec.  You'd get a rattly stock for your troubles.

Mil-spec and commercial refer to the external dimension (diameter) of the receiver extension ie "buffer tube".

The commercial is slightly larger so if you put it on a mil-spec tube, you will have excess slop/play

As stated  do not mix the two sizes.
In my experience the commercial (CTR) sucks (not tight) even with a commercial tube.

Probably not  

Just sell the commercial MOE outright.
