I've got a Rock River rifle that I bought a few years ago that I've done some modifying on. It's still got the factory RRA Operator stock, which is a nice piece.
I built another gun myself that I stuck a Magpul MOE stock on, which I also like a lot. The built gun has a mil-spec buffer tube, while the RRA was supplied with commercial-spec.
While it's true I like the Operator stock, I've been considering adding a Magpul CTR stock - this is the sliding stock that has the additional friction lock for more stability. The Operator stock has the usual sliding-stock shake (naturally).
My question is this - would it make sense to swap the commercial tube out for a mil-spec, just for commonality with my other gun (and legions of others)? I can get the tube for under $20 so budget isn't really an issue. I could simply re-use the buffer and spring, and I could then swap stocks between the guns at will if I felt like it.
Just curious. Obviously I could save money by just getting a commercial-spec stock (or not changing anything at all) but I like the idea of interchangeability.
Comments welcome. Thanks!
