It's the detent spring for the rear take down pin on the lower receiver. It goes in the back of the lower receiver between the stock and the receiver. Be careful not to put a kink in it as you install the stock.

That's your safety detent spring. The collapsible buttstock's "plate" (what the castle nut was tightened against) held it in, & will now be held in by the fixed stock. Look in the aft end of your lower receiver & you'll see a small hole. (Make sure the safety detent is also still in there; it'll be a very small bronze-colored cylinder-shaped gizmo that will appear to be slightly "sharpened" at each end.)

Thanks guys. I found where it was supposed to go in and put it back in there. What purpose does that spring serve anyway?
Thanks a lot. Wes |

Also, does the safety detent go in before or after the spring.....?
Thanks Wes |

Quoted: That's your safety detent spring. The safety detent spring is held in place by the pistol grip, not the buttstock. It's the detent spring for the rear take down pin. The detent goes in before the spring. |

Thanks for all the help. This board is great!
One more question though: Is the stock supposed to have a little wiggle to it after it is installed? Thanks Wes |

Thanks to everyone who helped me. I was trying to figure out how to do all this stuff myself so I wouldn't have to pay people to do it for me. You all have been a huge help.
