| Does anyone know if you can use a commercial spring and buffer with a mil spec buffer tube? |
| There is no such thing as a Commercial or Mil-spec buffer spring. All buffer springs are of identical dimensions. Some mfgs have springs with greater compression forces but they are not designated as Comm'l or M/S. There are different weight carbine buffers available and basically one rifle buffer. Again these are not designated as Comm'l or M/S. |

Quoted:
As stated the commercial versus milspec does have different outside diameters but if you research it a little, there is also a change in the grade of the aluminum. I think 6061 versus 7075. The OP asked about springs and buffers, not the receiver extension tubes. All buffers and springs are of "standard" dimensions. |
