OK, I wish I could legally buy an AR but I live in CA and we still cannot, for now.  Come on NRA!!!  ANyway, I found a great deal on a collapsible stock and the adapter to put it on my AK.  I have a question regarding the purpose of the spring and piston which goes into the tube.  Is this necessary, and is it to dampen recoil, or what?

no, you don't need the spring and buffer.

Was I correct in my assumption that they are used to reduce recoil?  Also, I assume that the spring goes in first and then the buffer, so that the buffer is closest to the receiver?

No.  The Buffer Assemby is used to push the bolt/boltcarrier back into position.  Much like the action spring in the AK.

Yes, that is the correct way.

What the heck was that???  Oh... Out of CA...

once I can sell my home here and pay cash for one when I retire in Tennessee, Im outta here!

But in the meantime, I here the NRA is going to challenge our restrictive CA firearms laws on the grounds that they infringe on inter-state commerce.

Tennessee is a pro-gun state.  Out of state concealed permits are valid there.  That's nice to know if you are passing through or vacationing.

California on the other hand continues to inact more restrictions on gun ownership.  Your new governor just banned .50 BMG rifles.

Don't blame it on the NRA. Blame it on the voters in your state.

And oh yea, welcome to the site!

welcome AKFREAK!

The first thing you (and your fellow Kalifornistanians) need to do is vote the communist, asshat pictured below OUT!



Whew!

You have our sympathy...............

I am sure Kali has its redeeming qualities.................... she just ain't one of 'em

How about this one?
(taken right after introducing a Senate bill proposing to re-authorize the AWB.....3/04)

celebrating a bit early weren't they?....

sorry to hijack your thread, AKFREAK. I got steamed at the mere thought of this bitch.

I am not blaming the NRA... hell no, I am praying for them to start their legal assualt against the CA AWB by claiming it infringes on interstate commerce!  @ least that was what I heard they were going to do!

Wait, if he's putting an AR collapsible stock on an AK, he wouldn't really need to install the spring and buffer would he?  Just the buffer tube and stock itself right?  He could just leave all that out of the buffer tube.

OK, I assembled the adapter I purchased from noveltyguns.com, it is a POS!!!  Here is the picture from their website:

This is a 2 piece, plastic part that requires filing to fit...but still never fits correctly.  
It also keeps coming loose, so I wouldnt recommend it!  Waste of $30!!!  
Here is another pic:http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/akconv.gif

Instead I will purchase the new Vltor kit shown here:
