Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between mil-spec and commercial buffer tubes?
Mil-spec buffer tubes have a slightly smaller outer diameter (approximately 1.14") and a more precise tolerance than commercial-spec tubes (approximately 1.17"). This matters because AR-15 stocks are designed for one or the other — using a mil-spec stock on a commercial tube, or vice versa, will result in a poor or impossible fit. This LBE kit uses a true mil-spec diameter tube, so it is compatible with any mil-spec AR-15 stock.
Will this buffer tube kit work with my existing lower receiver and stock?
Yes, as long as your lower receiver accepts a standard AR-15 carbine buffer tube and your stock is designed for mil-spec diameter tubes. The six-position design is compatible with the vast majority of mil-spec AR-15 collapsible stocks on the market. If you are unsure of your stock's spec, check the manufacturer's documentation or measure the interior diameter of the stock's receiver channel.
Do I need any additional parts to complete the buffer tube installation?
No — this kit includes every component required for a complete buffer tube assembly: the six-position mil-spec tube, carbine recoil spring, standard carbine buffer, receiver end plate, and castle nut. You will need basic AR-15 armorer's tools such as a castle nut wrench and an end plate tool to properly torque and stake the castle nut, but no additional parts are necessary.
