Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a mil-spec and commercial buffer tube?
A mil-spec buffer tube has a slightly smaller outer diameter (approximately 1.148") and a straight profile, while a commercial tube has a larger diameter (approximately 1.170") and a slight taper. These two standards are not interchangeable, so it's important to match your buffer tube to your stock. The LBE AR Mil-Spec Buffer Tube is designed for stocks requiring a mil-spec diameter — the more common standard used in military and high-quality aftermarket AR-15 builds.
Does this buffer tube come with a buffer, buffer spring, or castle nut?
This listing is for the buffer tube (carbine receiver extension) only. A buffer, buffer spring, and castle nut/end plate are typically sold separately. If you're doing a complete lower build, be sure to source a carbine-length buffer and spring rated for your intended use — standard carbine, H, H2, or H3 buffers are all compatible with this mil-spec tube.
Will this buffer tube work with my AR-15 pistol or SBR build?
Yes — this mil-spec diameter carbine receiver extension is compatible with AR-15 pistol builds using a pistol brace as well as short-barreled rifle (SBR) configurations, provided the stock or brace you're using is designed for a mil-spec tube. Always verify that your chosen stock or pistol brace specifies mil-spec diameter compatibility before ordering.
