strapmanAR-15 Buffer Tube
Where can I find exact Mil-Spec measurements for an AR-15 buffering tube. I purchased a MagPul PRS-Gen3 stock and it doesn't fit over my buffering tube. I want to insure my buffering tube is Mil Spec
I just measured one at 1.12. I know the Mag Pul stocks are tight.

lawndartNominal outside diameter for a milspec buffer tube is 1.145". They often vary from 1.145" to 1.150". One of mine is 1.148"
Nominal outside diameter on a commercial buffer tube is 1.167" (average).
