Does brand matter with buffer tubes? I'm switching to mil spec from commercial for a new stock on my rifle. Does it matter what tube I get? Or do you get what you pay for.

If you don't know who made it, you don't know how it's made.
Go with a name that you trust, it's worth the $10-15 difference.

Nobody ever got shot climbing over the wall into East Berlin.
Delivering the most precision possible, at the greatest distance possible, with the highest rate of fire possible.
+1, Vltor's good kit. You don't have to adopt the A5 system too, they also sell standard carbine milspec buffer tubes. What I especially like about the Vltor's are there are indexing numbers corresponding to the notch position on top that match the cut out on LMT or B5 SOPMOD stocks.

Another vote for the A5. Here's a good discussion:

Make sure you get 7075 if you want it to be able to stand up to some abuse. Just being labeled "mil spec" isn't enough. If the manufacturer doesn't state the material, you can assume it's 6061. Also buy from someone who has a good reputation, so you can have some assurance that the product actually is what they say it is. I know with PSA, their 7075 is only $10 more than their 6061. That's cheap insurance for one of the most common failure points on the rifle.

We rather seek these silent rooms
Than live as slaves to you."
