A1 screw is .662" long (TOTAL length, not just threads)

The phrase "buttstock screw" sounds rude.

I think you can get by with cutting it in half.
  Nobby, its really rude if you have an early "buttstock screw" with a hole in it. Melvin, if you screw it up send me an email. I have an extra I will send you. |

Why does the screw have to be shortened? Is it because the buffer may come back far enough to hit the tip of the screw? It doesn't seem to me that it comes that far back, especially with the spring compressing. When I put my A1 stock on, I just removed the spacer and used the A2 screw. However, I haven't fired it yet...am I being stupid? Should I get a shorter screw?

It won't work. The buffer will hit the screw. |

THe best thing you can do is cut the screw down; I did that before I received two of the shorter screws in the mail. (couldn't wait to get my stock screwed in place).

What is the thread pitch on that screw? 1/4" by 20?
Thanks |

I think is 1/4 x 28 (not sure); I bought a pair of nuts in that thread pitch to act as guides, so if I had to cut another A2 stock nut, I would cut it the proper lenght; I'll have to take the nut over to the local Home Depot to see what is the right thread pitch (and to buy a couple more for the spare box. I'll post the right thread when I get back. BRB. |
