Some moron on TOS posted that having a mil spec RE was a snob issue.
This after the factual differences between the two were clearly laid out. Stupid people annoy the crap out of me.

I was curious what the consensus here was on the best tube and spring to use? Are there manufacturers that produce higher quality tubes and springs than others? Are there some to stay away from?
I bought mine from a vendor of Colt products, SAW: Specialized Armament.

Something that kind of annoys me.
I staked my end plate into the castle nut at 3 places. When I first installed the tube, the thing was rock solid. Now after a few thousand rounds thru the lower the buffer tube rotates slightly back and fourth but the rotation is limited by the end plate notch. I want to tighten it down again but its staked to hell.

Can anyone confirm the 5 positions are different in major dimensions from the usual six position? I always assumed they were the same OAL and overall adjustment range just with longer spaces between detents.
I'm getting ready to order a Milspec tube for my ACS today so this thread being bumped up like this is timely!
I would have been surprised if the length was different, but you never know until you ask. Thanks!
Does anyone have a photo of the staked castlenut and plate so I can see the index points??
Wish I had read this 2 weeks ago. I just put a Magpul MOE on my commercical tubed Bushy and now I wish I had swapped the comm. tube for mil spec and gone with the mil spec MOE stock! DOH!
