Other than the slight difference in size (thus needing different butt stocks) is there any REAL difference here? Trying to get things ready for a parts order and am trying to decide which way I want to go here. Im planning on a Magpul CTR for the stock if it matters (they offer both versions). Just looking for a little guidance here.
Also, would any buffer work here? Ive looked at the G&R buffer but it looks to be a “milspec” buffer. Would that only work in the Milspec tube?
IMHO: Buy MilSpec thats true MilSpec: LMT; CMT; & _________ [Anyone else? please fill in the other manuf.] from REPUTABLE vendors: BravoCompanyUSA; G&R Tactical , etc.
Mil Spec RE labeled MilSpec doesn’t just mean Dia./Specs of OD/ID. Its also the material in which the receiver extension is made from. It may look the same, but looks are deceiving.
7075 is almost double the tensile strength of 6061
fwiw/.02:
I dont see any reason to buy Comm. Stocks/RE when MilSpec offerings are the same price & available. Will, this/that work = yes, but would I want it = NO . . . . . .But…“To each their own”
Would I use a 6061 MilSpec RE? maybe on a dedicated .22lr, as the RE serves no cycling/functioning purpose, but not on a “Real” Fighting/Training 5.56 Rifle.
Now, do we have some good recommendations for tubes/ stock kits. I suppose I can piece the parts together, but a kit would simplify things. How is the one I linked to in the first post? should I look elsewhere?
Your gas system length and barrel length will help determine which buffer weight to install. You can read more on buffer weights and springs at this thread.
