Will an adjustable AR stock fit the Tapco SKS T-6 stock?

[Mr. Spectacular]

There are two types of AR buffer tubes, mil-spec and commercial. The mil-spec is slightly smaller.

Does anyone know if an AR stock of either type (MagPul MOE, Ace Socom etc...) will fit on the "buffer tube" for the Tapco T-6 Stock?

 

[Woodeneye]

Nope,Wont fit.

The new buffer tubes are all milspec, we just changed over.

So just to confirm, Tapco is now making their buffer tubes to "Milspec" dimensions?

 

[Mr. Spectacular]

Nope,Wont fit.

Is the SKS buffer tube too big or too small? It looks really close. I really can't see it being that far off (from what I remember of AR buffer tubes).

 

[jt_trouble]

Nope,Wont fit.

The body of the stock will fit from a Magpul MOE/CTR set up. A UBR will not because it has it's own proprietary buffer tube, and the Tapco does not have any sort of screw in socket to accept them.

I myself used to have a Tapco setup with a Magpul CTR installed on it in Commercial spec.

Agh, I forgot about the stupid UBR setup they have.

Alright, so UBR excluded, do you know if I can install a MOE or CTR on a Tapco SKS "buffer tube"? (And yes, I know it's not a buffer tube but what else do you call it)?

Extension Tube

Here is the one that I had set up ..

My correction, that is a MOE not a CTR with Commercial Spec dimensions to fit the tube, a CTR in Commspec will also fit.

Sweet, so basically any commercial spec stock will fit.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Yup, but if HiCal is right about Tapco changing the extension tubes from the factory to milspec. Then the commspec ones will fit loose on the tube and you may get a bit of play when mounted.

The newest ones, with a Extension tube plug ( 2 months old) are milspec tube size, The factory just changed over.

Exactly, the old tubes were commercial. No threads of course.

Interesting, thanks for the description.

So do you know if the new version threaded like an AR buffer tube, or is it still the square end with 2 bolts?

 

[hical.ca]

Still square, no threads.

 

[Mr. Spectacular]

Still square, no threads.

And if I order one the only type currently available is the new style, correct?

P.S., I will be ordering one, not sure when but hopefully in the next couple of months. I saw on Tapco's website that they stopped making the flat dark earth T-6? Can you still get them or no?

 

[hical.ca]

We still have quite a few dark earth railed SKS in stock, new style milspec. They look nice.
