It's not a model difference, it's a manufacturer difference. Colt uses a slightly smaller diameter tube than the aftermarket makers, so a Colt brand stock piece won't go on an aftermarket tube, and an aftermarket strock will be quite loose on a Colt tube.

shamayim is correct, i went through aa similar problem, i bought a colt sp1 stock and tried to put it on a dpms buffer tube with no luck, colt indeed is a frak of nature and makes it so you have to use there tubes only

Does anyone one know where a guy could pick up a Colt M-4 buffer tube? Also will the same buffer work in the Colts and the aftermarkets?

What about the end plate and and extension nut? Will they work on both kind of tubes? Again Thanks.

LashLaRue:
The Colt tube is a bit smaller than the more common aftermarket part -- Colt is not a freak here, the tube they use is the MILSPEC part. The difference is due to manufacturing techniques -- one tube having cut threads and the other having rolled threads. Yes, the castle nut and plate interchange... the threaded section is the same -- otherwise, there would have to be two different lower receivers. HIH |
