Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between mil-spec and commercial-spec buffer tubes?
Mil-spec buffer tubes have a slightly smaller outer diameter (approximately 1.148") compared to commercial-spec tubes (approximately 1.168") and feature a straight profile rather than a slight taper at the rear. This LBE kit uses a true mil-spec diameter tube, which is compatible with mil-spec carbine stocks. Commercial-spec stocks will not fit properly on a mil-spec tube, so be sure your stock matches before purchasing.
Is this kit compatible with pistol-configuration AR builds?
This kit is designed for standard carbine-length AR-15 rifle builds with a traditional stock. For AR pistol configurations, you would typically need a pistol buffer tube (also called an "arm brace tube"), which is shorter and does not have stock-retention positions. This six-position tube is intended for use with a rifle stock on a standard lower receiver.
Do I need any special tools to install this buffer tube kit?
Installation requires an armorer's wrench or castle nut wrench to properly torque and stake the castle nut, as well as a receiver vise block to safely secure your lower receiver during assembly. The components thread directly onto a standard AR-15 lower receiver's buffer tube extension threads. Proper staking of the castle nut is recommended to prevent loosening under recoil during use.
