| had thought that Bushmaster was all mil. spec.. I read on another post where someone stated they were commericial. The reason I need to know is I have a Bushmaster complete lower with a fixed stock but want to order a Magpul collapsible. Do I need to order the commericial or mil. spec. stock? Thanks |

Thanks i would just change the receiver extension with the stock, spikes has some packages with magpul stocks, tubes, buffer springs and their ST-T2 buffer. Mil-spec tube: 1.15" Commercial: 1.17" |
| Don't put too much credit in some company claiming they are mil spec––many say they are. It's things like your stock issue that make me laugh about mil spec claims. Even if you neglected the auto or burst issue, few manufacturers even make a gun comperable to mil spec. |
| not difficult at all (except for those pesky little springs and detents). there's plenty of info on this site as well as others. brownells might even have videos... only thing is.. you're going to have to get a castle nut wrench. If you plan on doing any builds or bbl changing, you might just want to get an Armorer's Tool. |
| Safety glasses (or better yet, goggles) are a MUST when changing a stock! The first time I unscrewed a receiver extension, the buffer retainer shot past my head and ricocheted off the ceiling. I even made a point to restrain it so it wouldn't fly, but my fingers were slippery and it took off anyways. |
| I ordered a BCM upper receiver group Monday, I'm sure it will be delayed due to the weather now, but it went out the same day. Good company. I bought this lower not long after the Ban went into effect. At the time late 90's, " I think ". I don't think there were as many companies then as there are now. At least that I new about. I even purchased 20 USA Mags so I would have them, and then found out at a gun show a few weeks ago that they went out of business. I thought Bushmaster was the top of the line at the time. |
