    AR-15Firearms, like other tools, fulfill a specific application for the user. If you wanted to nail deck boards down, you’d pull out your nail gun.

  7. Commercial vs. Mil-Spec Buttstocks

    Mil Spec ButtstockWhen it comes to firearms, consumers often wonder about military-grade and commercial-accessible parts. Both mil-spec and commercial buttstocks are widely available, but minor differences may hinder a firearm enthusiast’s satisfaction.

    Understanding key differences is important, chiefly for collection purposes, as commercial and mil-spec buttstocks are very similar.
     

    Size

    Commercial and mil-spec receiver extensions differentiate in size. A completely mil-spec firearm tube is created from 7075-T6 alloy, which provides 1-3 and 16-16 UN thread rolls.

    Believe it or not, ambidextrous AR-15 accessories and parts are gaining in popularity with right and left-handed owners for a wide range of reasons.

    ar-15 gas piston
    The AR-15 Rifle, while eminently customizable, carries with it a few conundrums. One is the choice of operating system; do you get a model which uses gas piston technology, or the more traditional direct impingement?
