Eagle Arms tube non-milspec, correct?

[scotty]

Just trying to verify that the stock I need is NON-MILSPEC aka commercial?

I know Colt, LMT, Vltor, CTR-M, Stag Arms are all mil-spec but I have this thought that the EagleArms were made by LMT.

Anyone clarify?

Eagle is made by Armalite, no milspec receiver extension.

The eagle arms rifle i got from wolverine came with a mil-spec receiver extension . The armalite rifle i got from wolverine did not have a mil-spec receiver extension .

 

[scotty]

Ya thats where I got confused. I talked to Ryan on the phone from Wolverine and he told me that it came with a mil spec tube.

Any way through looks or markings on the lower that I can identify?

 

[Reaper]

The 2 eagle arms I have at home did not come with a milspec receiver extensions. I would imagine they are available on request from Wolverine.

 

[scotty]

So when I picked up my CTR or 93B I need to get the commercial version, correct?

 

[scotty]

Very true GT.

I'll call John or Ryan tomorrow and confirm.

I thought my Armalite was mil-spec but it is not. Now I need a new receiver
extension for my new stock that is mil-spec.

Wolverine has the mil-spec receiver extensions .

New (late 06 and current) production rifles have a milspec tube.

LMT did a lot of Armalites forgings.

 

[highspeedlowdrag]

Yup, what Kevin said... Confirmed it with Ryan as of a few months ago. All newer production units now come with milspec receiver extensions...

hsld.

 

[Tango]

Is armalite doing any other mods to make their rifles closer to mil-spec ?

 

[scotty]

Good to know, thanks guys.

I'll assume that they use the same lowers from the same production for their production rifles, stripped lower and complete lower sales.

Now 93B or CTR, thats the question or maybe exotic like a SOPMOD or VLTOR?

 

[ESQ]

What is the difference b/w milspec and commercial tubes? i.e. threads, thickness, length, what? Thx

 

[Reaper]

Commercial tubes have a larger circumference, amongst other things.

 

[esquif]

what about bushmaster ?

 

[scotty]

Bushmaster, DPMS and Rock River Arms are all commercial.

Just got off the phone with John, he said since I got mine about two weeks ago I got one of the newer mil spec ones.

All manufactures should go mil-spec and save us the grief

I was trying to figure this out a while back, and found this on Mag Pul's website, specifically as it relates to installing a CTR stock. A milspec buffer tube will take either a milspec stock or a commercial stock (with some wiggle). The commercial tube will only take the commercial stock.
