What Is the Difference Between Commercial and Mil-Spec Buffer Tubes?

Commercial buffer tubes have a slightly larger diameter, around 1.168 inches, compared to Mil-Spec tubes, which measure approximately 1.148 inches. Additionally, commercial buffer tubes feature coarser thread pitches for their castle nuts, whereas military buffer tubes have finer threads. Mil-Spec buffer tubes adhere to specific military design standards, ensuring consistency and compatibility with Mil-Spec components. While commercial buffer tubes are more widely available and may be less expensive, Mil-Spec tubes offer a higher degree of compatibility with military-standard parts. Choosing between them depends on factors such as desired specifications, compatibility needs, and budget constraints.

Can I Shoot My AR-15 Without a Buffer Tube?

No, it is not safe to shoot an AR-15 rifle without a buffer tube. The buffer tube is a critical component of the rifle's operating system, responsible for housing the buffer and recoil spring. Without the buffer tube, the rifle's bolt carrier group would not be properly supported, leading to malfunction, potential damage to the firearm, and risk of injury to the shooter. Additionally, the buffer tube provides the necessary attachment point for the rifle's stock. Shooting an AR-15 without a buffer tube is not recommended and should be avoided to ensure safe and proper firearm function.
