How to fix stock wobble on ar15

Cool

I know this video is old but I have a Bushmaster Predator with the non adjusting A2 buttstock that I bought in 2004 or 2005 for coyote hunting and I want to put an adjustable stock in place of the A2 stock for my granddaughter. My question is do I need to buy a mil-spec adjustable stock kit or a commercial adjustable stock kit for this Bushmaster Predator in question?

He looks so much younger!

Tech tip 2022: Never go commercial.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Almost wasted a bunch of money getting a whole buffer and spring instead of just the extension tube. Currently rockin commercial, but there's hardly any stocks that I love available for commercial. So I'm swapping for mil-spec.

Thank you!

Best video about buffer tubes on YouTube

Can the spring inside the tube be used on both specs? Or do we need a spring for each one

What is the handguard? Thanks

we are talking about 3/100 's of an inch….  I mean come on..  how much more strength could this possibly offer?

i have a commercial buffer tube can i change over to a milspec and use the same spring and buffer and will the milspec fit on the lower

Brownells, your team is absolutely wonderful!  Great tips and education!

They are both made using a press forging/drawing technique for the blanks but Mil-Spec roll forms threads up to size and commercial cuts threads down to size. Since the thread is the same there has to be a difference in material between additive and subtractive threading processes.

Nice Presentation, Thanks

Excellent video, thank you!!
