Questions on Buffer Tube

[jmwyro]

Hello All, I have a commercial buffer tube and stock which I would like to use to build a budget AR. I can not find a commercial spring and buffer any where. So, will a mil spec buffer and spring work in a commercial spec tube? I understand that the commercial tube is larger diameter. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

The buffer and spring are the exact same for both Mil. Spec and Commercial tubes. It's just the outside diameter of the Commercial tube that is a couple thousands larger.

I think the threads were "cut" differently too. Same pitch, but different method.
