I have an commercial buffer tube installed in mine and i am wanting to replace it to milspec. Ive looked through the threads and could not find what i was looking for
First can i just buy a milspec buffer tube to just one for one switch out? If so, how easy is it? if not what would be the process and/or any links to install help? thanks a bunch |

Easy, but you'll need access to a barrel wrench (cheap) to loosen and then re-tighten the castle nut. And knowledge of the interior parts which can go flying if you aren't careful. Check www.joeboboutfitters.com http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/product_p/jb-milspec%20tube.htm or bravo company for the stock tube Heck, Palmetto State Armory, in your home state, has one even cheaper |

An option for a wrench:

awesome, thanks for the info! Ya i thought about PSA but its a drive from where i am at. I always support my home town, hence why i bought the Palemetto state defense psd 15 and love it! Mil-spec Carbine Buffer Tube is on order and a wrench thanks guys! Castle nut wrench You will also need a mil spec stock....your commercial stock will fit loosely on the mil spec tube. As stated above, understand the process. You will have to deal with 2 different springs and detents. Hammer and punch to re-stake |
