[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Bushmaster buffer tubes

Posted: 3/29/2009 5:05:12 PM EDT

I have a question.... I think I know the answer but I want to make sure.

I have a Bushy M4gery and want to replace the collapsable stock with a Magpul. I had always read that Bushy's were milspec but I am looking at the tube and the back is slightly slanted. That is commerical right? I measure it but I only have a ruler and is is 1 2/16. Which I guess could be either. Does any know if for the most part Bushy buffer tubes are commercial???

thanks

I've always heard that Bushmasters are commercial tubes.

I have a Bushmaster as well.

If I recall, CRT is offered to fit either commercial or milspec tubes.

I have a comercial tube that measures 1-3/16,(3 cm) threads and tube, but my bushmaster collapsible wont fit on it.......way too tight.

but the bushamster stock is on a tube that seems to be just like yours, approx. 1- 2/16(2.9cm) and the threads are 1-3/16, that sounds like mil spec to me......maybe I am wrong, certainly I am no stock/tube expert.

but if all bushmaster stocks were commercial then I ask why dont my bushy stock slide on the commercial tube?
