A "F" marked front sight base on their flattops? A milspec buffer tube? I'm looking at buying a Tactical Entry and wondering about parts interchangeability. By the way, you guys' customer service is awesome.

I think that's a "no" on both accounts.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Wizzo is correct.
Our front sight housings are not designated with an "f" for flat-top, and we use the industry-standard, but not "mil-spec", 'diameter' for our CAR stock extensions.

Thanks for asking.

what is the difference?

The Colt CAR receiver extensions (which, IIRC, are also used by Magpul and Vltor) are smaller diameter. Our stock would fit their tubes, but be sloppy. The I.D. of the Colt (and others sized accordingly) stocks would be too small to go around the tubes that are prevalent throughout the rest of the industry. The thread is identical regardless of tube dimension, so all will fit the same receivers, and why the receiver end plates and castle/lock ring nuts still fit.

I agree with the above. Not to mention the NM lower I ordered came in lightning fast...right at a week's time. You'll be getting all of my business from now on.
