Do you have a Commercial or Mil-Spec buffer tube? You need to know if you want to swap your buttstock.

  1. The problem i am having is that i am a larger guy and my "pull" is longer than what the standard Magpul stock will accommodate. This makes it uncomfortable and difficult for me to get the best site alignment on my AR-15. Is there some kind of Longer Buffer Tube or buffer tube extension that i can put on my carbine to make the best and most comfortable use of my optics???

  2. Do you know how to pick a buffer tube that works smoothly or how to fix one that is rough and noisy?  The one in a Bushmaster stock is the only one I've seen that is smooth and quiet but the one that came in a DPMS kit of parts is very noisy and the one that came in the parts for the lower from Tacticalsht is very rough and noisy and seems to be binding.  I've tried greasing the buffer and spring but the machining work on the inside must be too rough. Could the inside be sanded smooth somehow?

  3. isn't there also an issue with the back of the buffer tube being welded on vs. the whole tube being one solid piece?  This is only what I heard and was told mine was crap because you could faintly tell the end was a separate piece.
