Spikes Tactical Lower Buffer Options

[mcwulf30]

Ok.....

Bought a Spikes Tactical lower and am trying to figure out the stock here.

They said when I called that it uses a Gov't buffer.

Will this mean that I need to use a gov't stock and a gov't sized buffer tube?

Can I use a Magpul stock and a DPMS Buffer tube??


What are my options folks?

you can use any buffer tube, by any manufacturer you wish. You have to use a rifle buffer in a rifle buffer tube and a carbine buffer in a carbine buffer tube though.

ok....

Gonna get a 20" bull barrel that's fluted.

Definately a rifle buffer i'd say.

 

[VUPDblue]

as long as you use a fixed stock that's rifle length then, yes, you will need a rifle buffer.

I think his specific question is: Are there mil spec sized buffers like there are mil spec sized receiver extensions (requiring mil spec sized stocks) or will all buffers fit commerical AND mil spec receiver extensions?

I confess I do not know the answer, but I'd like to know as well.

will all buffers fit commerical AND mil spec receiver extensions?

Yes.

I've never heard of a "government buffer". Spike's should know better.

being a newb, i only knew of "commercial" and Mil Spec",, which I think refers to the diameter of the stock ID/TUBE

The rifle / carbine thinjg, I did not know

 

[dross]

Yes.

I've never heard of a "government buffer". Spike's should know better.

I've heard "government" substituted for mil spec.

All buffers will fit in either Commercial or Mil-Spec tubes.
