Excuse the newb builder questions but here goes anyway.
Starting my first build ever. I have a stripped lower and LPK in the mail. My next purchase is a butt stock.... 1) Do most butt stocks come with the buffer and spring, or will I need to buy the buffer and spring seperately? 2) What is the difference between mil spec and commercial. It's going on a Spikes stripped lower if that makes a difference. Thanks for the help. |

You can get it either way. Complete buttstock, receiver extension, buffer and spring in a kit or separately. But starting from scratch, I'd get the kit with
the stock you want. The difference in mil-spec and commercial is not only is the tube size different, the threads are rolled in, and the tube is forged on the mil-spec. Commercial tubes are cut thread, the tube od is slightly larger and the tubes are extruded. It is said that the mil-spec is stronger. Btw the threads are the same size between the two. |

They come both ways; most will specify in their listing what is included. 2) What is the difference between mil spec and commercial. It's going on a Spikes stripped lower if that makes a difference. Magpul has a page that details the difference between mil-spec and commercial buffer tubes. |
