Are you changing just the stock or buffer tube as well?
When I wanted to change out the stocks on my Springfield AR Rifle and Victor Pistol the first thing I did was check out YouTube. There are tons of videos on the process.

Thanks. Look simple. Just the stock. Thinking about going from Bravo to B5 Systems

Make sure your buffer tube is mill spec or commercial and get a stock for that buffer tube.

I learned that early on!

it's a new Saint Victor

The end of the buffer tube will be
flat (mill spec) angled (commercial)

I found that out changing the stock only on my AR15 Saint Rifle, I changed it to a MagPul with a bigger cheek well for more solid off shoulder shooting control.

1 minute swap over

i put a larger Magpul stock on my Victor as well and moved the Saint factory one over to an inexpensive AR pistol

 

[Amsgms]

After the swap, was there any play on the stock ? Did it move around ? Was fit as good as the bravo that came on the rifle

 

[Keystone19250]

I changed mine out because the stock that came on the AR would not easily adjust, way to tight. The MagPul stock adjust very easily and does not rattle or is to loose.

Not all commercial tubes are angled; DPMS used commercial-diameter tubes that were flat, for example.
The best way is to look at the threads where it goes into the receiver...of the threads are taller than the receiver diameter, it's milspec...if they are the same, commercial.

milspec tube on the left.

In my case with 3 magpuls on 3 diff rifles, no issues. Clean, easy movement

Thank you. I am going to put a B5 system stock.

Springfield’s use Milspec size extension/buffer tubes. With a few exceptions on the pistols that use specialized brace’s.
