While I am satisfied with the product. I feel that there needs to be an ID measurement included for the buffer tube.

Great design but doesn’t fit milspec
Is there a third receiver extension aside from commercial and mil-spec? Seems like SB has invented new dimensions. I have three of these and have spent hours getting them to fit a mil-spec buffer tube.
