[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Is there a weight difference between mil-spec vs commercial buffer tubes?

Is there a weight difference between mil-spec vs commercial buffer tubes? I know about the other differences but no one talks about the weight. I know it must be minimal but since I'm building a light weight AR15 I thought I would ask.

The outside diameter of one is larger than the other so they are not interchangeable.
