Thread: Mil Spec Buffer Tubes?

Stage (CMT) has replied that their extensions are extruded 7075.
This might turn out to be something else added to the Chart.... could even be two rows, one for forged/extruded and one for 7075/6061. I would rank them in order as
1: forged 7075
2: extruded 7075
3: anything 6061 (although I don't imagine anyone is going to bother forging 6061)WWW.TACTICALYELLOWVISOR.NET

Yes, this sounds like a good addition to the chart. Good to hear that Stag has given information on this, and I am curious to hear other manufacturer's claims. It is a little bitter sweet, because the guns that I have built, use CMT extensions. I guess it could be worse.
Next question: has anyone ever seen a failure, or a breakage of a receiver extension, regardless of method of construction?

These are usually the result of an extraordinary impact of some kind. I've seen one pic on another forum where some nut was testing some gadget for impact and he chucked the rifle up and broke the MIAD and the commercial RE.
Another SME on one site noted the 3 that he had seen break.
Usually the RE rips out of the lower due to the threads on the tube being out of spec. (correct pitch, but too short)

Does anyone know of any mil spec 4 position REs? CMT? Some websites don't state how many positions they have.

I have a newer DPMS carbine and it came with a commercial extension. I am not all that mechanical - can I replace the existing extension with a milspec variety?
