    I have one of the mil-spec RE's from PK Firearms. I also have mil-spec RE's from LMT, VLTOR and CMT. My unscientific analysis (based largely on "feel") is that the RE from PK Firearms is much more like the CMT one than either of the others. Still, it's a nice RE and has worked just fine.

    Hope that helps.

    I agree that this is an interesting thread and it's always great to learn these sort of little details.

    Any markings on a RE to indicate who made it?

    I've never seen any markings on any of the REs I've owned.

    Question What about Magpul Industries?

    http://global-tactical.com/milspecca...andbuffer.aspx

    ...just mil-spec dimensions or dimensions and materials???

    Anyone know?

    TIA

    Dill

    OOPS, looks like all I needed was to look...

    http://www.magpul.com/pdfs/buffertube-Milspec-M4.pdf

    7075-T6 Forgings, is that better than Companies that do impact extrusion and make their RE's out of 7071

    LMT
    CMT
    Colt (who buys their RE's from CMT)

    ???

    Btw, those are not actually made by Magpul as stated on that page (AFAIK). They just bought them from someone else and resold them. That is what they told me last year. I had some of them in last year. Don't have any anymore so cannot say how they were marked or anything.
