So I have a Rock River Arms LAR-15 Elite Operator 2 that I am in the process of tuning up. I Love the Rifle, and besides a new BCM Charging Handle and accessories like optic/light, ect, I don't really have anything I want to change expect for the stock. The Rifle just functions perfect for me, able to recreate bootcamp 500m standards out the box.
Now I want a Mission First Tactical Battle-link Minimalist stock for it, but it comes in Commercial and Mil-spec. I have a Commercial tube on there, and I am wondering if I should mod on the Mil-spec tube or not? I know some like the Mil-spec because of the connection to the military, but I just see Mill-spec as "The bare-minimum of standards possible made for the lowest cost possible" more than anything else. I have heard theory's about the cut in vs rolled threading, but have yet to see any studies/experiments to prove the point. And given that quality and materials will vary by manufacturing, I don't think there can be a definitive result.
The only plus I seem to see with Mil-spec is that there are more mod options possible for it, but since I already know what I want, are there any real benefits to switching out the tube or should I just replace the stock and be done with it? How about the difference in buffers with the different buffer-tubes, if any? I dont care about what a part is named/labeled, I just want the best functioning part.
Thanks
