I can tell commercial from "mil-spec" but is there any way to tell 6016 from 7075 tubes? Are they stamped somewhere? Do they weigh or feel different? Just looking at pictures on the interweb, I cant tell one from the other.

OP I would buy the LMT. It is worth a little extra $.

Does anybody know what material the CMT/Stag mil-spec RE are made of and if their dimensions vary a lot?
Guys I'm in Canada. I can't order anything AR related directly from the U.S. I have to deal with what's available here when it appears on the very few online AR dealers. Which is either an Armalite RE (the one I already have), a CMT or an LMT and this one has not been in stock for a while.
I would recommend the LMT. I've got them on both of my lowers. I actually paid a little more for them on purpose. The moly (or whatever it is) lube on the outside makes the stock slide like glass, but also incorporates some friction for a tight fit (kindof like intercourse!) Also, as has been mentioned, there is a tab incorporated into the receiver end that holds the detend in place during installation, not absolutely necessary, but handy nonetheless. Furthermore, I believe the Sopod assemblies (which incorporate the LMT receiver extension) have an NSN number, so that makes them, in fact, mil-spec.
