Lower and upper done without any issues. I need a buffer tube kit to use with this fixed stock:

Can someone recommend a decent one at a decent price... Want to make sure they are compatable. Pleas post a link if you can.

 

Thanks.

The link you provided is a 6 position tube will that still work? As I need it to be fixed

Magpul fixed carbine stock will fit any carbine buffer tube. Now just make sure the buffer tube and stock are both either commercial or mil-spec. Your choice. Difference is in the diameter of the tube. Commercial is made 6061 aluminum, mil-spec made from 7071.

Not always. Lots of milspec extensions are 6061. I have found most milspec extensions, regardless of material, have rolled threads though.

I appreciate the info. Thanks.

 

 

Would the Magpul Fixed Carbine stock still require to be pinned since the buffer tube will have the six position?

 

The Fixed Rifle stock wont have the castle nut which I think would be ok without pinning is that correct:

No. Stock is fixed not collapsible. Rifle stock uses different buffer tube, spring, and buffer that do not interchange with carbine stock, buffer, spring, or buffer tube. Rifle stock does not require pinning. Only stocks that can collapse require pinning.

Yes I ordered both... Both mil-spec.. Thanks for all the help!

OP sick w/ the reputable vendors. Primary Arms, Midway USA, Palmetto State Armory, AIM Surplus to name a few. If not sure definitely check back here before you drop some $$$.

Got the same setup for one of mine too. Next question is which BCG and are u in need of a muzzle break? Decisions decisions

The Truth about Guns website (google TTAG) did a review of 29 different brakes as a part 2 report earlier this year (April, I believe).  Part One was around November 2014 and had about 35 different ones.  New brakes come out every month, you need to really research what you expect of your brake and your budget.
