This is my first post and I'm assembling my first AR from scratch. I'm waiting on my McCormick trigger and in the meantime I need to figure out what all I need for my stock. I purchased a Magpul CTR milspec stock for my project gun(dpms lower). It says that for the milspec CTR I have to have a milspec buffer tube. I have been tryin to find what I can about what parts I need. I know what a buffer tube is but I don't know what goes in it, what needs to go in it, which one will work with my milspec telescopic CTR stock. I'm sure this has been asked somewhere and in the meantime I'm reading all I can but I'd appreciate any help. I have the lower, CTR stock, and the lower parts kit and Magpul grip. I have none of the stock related parts so I need to find all of that.

The buffer and spring go in the buffer tube (see pic)



along with a reciever end plate and castle nut.

The tube will need to be milspec for it to fit

EDIT the reciever end plate also holds in the rear takedown pin spring and detent

any recommended places to get the castle nut, buffer, tube, spring and the end plate piece? is there a package or something? I've been looking on some of the search engines and honestly havent really found anything relevant to what I needed.

Ive seen tubes on Rainier Arms. Otherwise Ive gotten small parts from Rock river arms. Or try the vendors at the top of the page.

I dont think DPMS tubes are mil spec but I could be wrong. If it were me Id pick up one of these...
