If you caling yourself a retard, (not PC BTW) please pay some one to do it. I'm fairly handy with modifing anything and I would do research before this. What do you have now, What spring is installed, You do need some knowledge, but not alot.

I was probably going to order a lower through one of the dealers here and hopefully have them install it for me

It is as easy as can be, you just need a large flat head screw driver. Loosen a screw. Slide old stock off the receiver extension (buffer tube). Be careful not to loose or bend the spring that is held in bu the stock. Slide PRS on to the receiver extension, make sure not to bend or lose the small sping again. Tighten the screw you loosed. You are done. These instructions will work with about any A1/A2 style fixed stock you can get ahold of to my knowledge.

I haven't installed one but my guess is that it is easier than setting up a vonage telephone and router.

That was a trip.

scroll down about half way, this shows how to remove your old stock.

I have no idea how to install the PRS though.

Thanks Jackal, another question, can a carbine buffer be used? The PRS would probably be going a lower that has an M4 stock on it right now.

Nope, needs a rifle length reciever extension.

You use the Rifle length spring, buffer, and extension tube/ just no spacer. It instals just like an A2 or A1..........just slide it on and tighten the buttscrew and your good to go. Just make sure that the takedown spring is not bent sideways when you tighten it down.

Thanks for the replies

When you remove your A2 stock, the takedown pin spring will go flying unless you are prepared to keep it. Loosen the stock and remove it slowly. Don't rotate the stock until you've slid it back at least a half inch, slowly.

If you can unscrew a screw, then you can swap an A2 stock for a PRS.

You can do it. I have faith in you

You can do it, simple!

Actually, it's even simpler than removing your old AR stock....

The Magpul supplied fastener is a hex-head bolt... instead of needing a wide, thin flathead, all you need is the proper allen wrench.

A picture of mine on my Colt CAR-A3 lower... The upper isn't mine, but similar to what I currently have on order.... Unfortunately, the PEQ-2 isn't mine.
