Yes. All those parts are machined to the same dimensional specifications, and are interchangeable between brands and makes. Likewise, both mil spec and commercial spec tubes are threaded the same to be screwed into the back of the lower receiver.
The only instances of a receiver not accepting extension tubes which I'm aware of was the first run of receivers from Roggio Arsenal, out of Fayetteville, NC. They had to recall their entire first production run because they had the threads for the extension tube coupling threaded incorrectly.

How are the buffer and buffer spring retained inside the the extension tube?
On the AR15/ M16, the spring is retained by the buffer. The buffer is retained by a pin located at the lower outer edge of the extension tube.
Will a hydraulic buffer reduce the reliability in a piston driven AR15?
Actually, maker claims to INCREASE reliability.
Can the AR-15 have folding stock?
No. A standard AR15 has a buffer tube that runs inside the stock that contains the recoil spring.
How do you mill out an AR15 lower?
You need the services of a CNC machinist.
What is the cheapest ar15?
Without resorting to these crappy cast receivers (such as Hesse/Blackthorn), the cheapest assembled rifles are going to be the 'bargain bin' rifles from CMMG. If you're looking to build one, Del-Ton had the cheapest complete build kit (minus the lower) at $450.
What are the problems with ar15 platformed weapons?
The direct impingement system requires a fair amount of maintenance. Gas piston uppers have problems with carrier tilt. The 5.56x45 cartridge isn't as powerful as the larger caliber cartridges it replaced. The aluminum used in the receivers has a lower melting point than steel.
What is dealer cost for ar15 lower receiver?
Average is around $350. If you are looking for a stripped lower receiver, the price should hang around $100.
MGI Rate Reducing buffer or Enidine Hydraulic buffer in a piston driven 16 inch 5.56mm AR15?
Unless you have a Class III firearm and will be firing on full auto, rate reduction is a non-issue. A big problem with piston driven ARs is carrier tilt, and you should probably seek out an anti-tilt carrier and buffer setup, first and foremost.
What is a Model SP1 AR15 rifle?
Variant of the AR-15 manufactured by Colt. It had a 'slab side' lower and no forward assist.
What would happen if you fired your ar15 without the buffer inside?
The bolt carrier would not return, another round would be chambered, and you'd likely have to replace a bolt carrier, buffer tube, buttstock (if using a fixed buttstock), and buffer spring (if the spring was in the extension tube). You could also cause injury to yourself if the bolt carrier ended up going through the back of the extension tube.
What do you do if your ar15 doesn't reload?
First do a full functional clear, eject the mag, rack the bolt/carrier to eject any casing. Next fully clean the gun. Check for broken or weak parts in bolt/carrier, gas system, and buffer system. Use quality ammo. If it still doesn't then take the gun to someone who knows how to work on ar15 rifles.
What qualifies as an AR15?
The name "AR15" can only be used by Colt and companies which licence their product from Colt. Other manufacturers usually use some sort of variation for the sake of legality, such as DPMS with "A15", "AP4", etc., DoubleStar with "STAR 15", and so forth. So, from that perspective, only a Colt or Colt licenced product technically qualifies as an AR15. But, from a legal perspective (as far as so-called assault weapons ban laws go), most anything designed/patterned after the AR15 will qualify, including gas piston upper systems, receivers made from castings (such as Norinco, Hesse/Blackthorn, etc.), and different calibre rifles.
