Star special forces crane stock

[tofu]

Does anyone know if it'll fit on the standard m4 buffer tube or the G&P crane stock buffer tube? Thanks.

thats how i run mine. but i cut the buffer tube down for better fit.

Hmm, I'm wondering this as well. How standardized are the dimensions on different manufacturers?

[swatt13]

i know the main difference is the inside diameter of the buffer tube. the g&p is more narrow, makeing battery fitment more difficult. compareing the others the notches are different depths/ quality and actually in different spots.

i lied tho, i guess i have a ?star upgraded buffer tube? but my stock still fit on a team mates g&p and on anothers tm.

hey swat, so how did it fit "unwell?" did u have to cut it down lengthwise, too much play in the stock, or what? Thanks for the info btw

oh i actually cut the length of the buffer tube down... about 1/4 actually. more so because everytime i collapsed my stock the buffer tube would compress my connectors against the butt plate and pop it off. when i cut it down, i also had less battery/wireing fitment issues.

But by cutting the tube, don't you lose adjustment notches?

[swatt13]

yea, but only the last one. i just used my dremel and notched our more, but i keep mine fully collapsed at all times anywho.

you know i got a little mixed up, i gut down the tube on the inside of my buffer tube on the back of my lower reciever, thats noly like 2" long now. i did still dremel more adjustment notches on my buffer tube tho.

i sat here and thought about it, then took my gun apart to verify i wasnt on crack, and found out i was lol.
