I knew the actual tube diameter was smaller on the mil-spec. So a commercial MOE stock should fit on a mil-spec tube but it would be lose. In my case it's obscurdly tight. So maybe my " mil-spec" tube is actually a commercial tube? It does have a flat back though...

I should probably also mention that the stock (or at least the Magpul box it came in) says it is mil-spec.

There ARE mil-spec diameter tubes that have angled back ends...so there are exceptions to the illustration posted above.

I would guess, that a cheap no name, no brand, receiver extension is more likely to be out of spec than is a Magpul stock. Buy cheap, take your chances.

buy a new buffer tube from damageusa.com . They actually have them in stock and they'll ship within a reasonable amount of time. They are a high quality OEM supplier to several name brand AR15's out there, which means they manufacture everything themselves, in house.
The buffer tube i received last week from damage was top notch, the quality was good and my MOE stock fits great. |

I think the tube is either commercial (doubtful) or out of spec (more likely). I bought a BCM mil-spec buffer tube and a CTR from DSG Arms. They go together beautifully. Buy quality.

Your problem was evident when you stated, "Ebay".

Your problem was evident when you stated, "Ebay". That's kind of what I was thinking. At the time it was the only "mil-spec" I could find that was ready to ship. I have another one on order so hopefully I can sort this out by next weekend. |
