After lurking here for a while I ordered a Rock River Varmint 18" to hunt coyotes.

Take the stock back off and look for the small hole. It goes in there.

make sure the detent is still in there.

The stock puts pressure on that spring which puts pressure on a detent the keeps the rear takedown pin from spinning and coming out.

Thanks a bunch for your help!  Now that is out of the way, I have another question:


The barrel has some spiral marks on it.  I haven't yet tried to remove except with a rag.  Is this normal?  Does it come off?  I think it really takes away from the beauty.

I imagine the marks are from the net they use to protect the bbl.
Try a little CLP and see if that doesn't clean 'er up.

looks good.  Iooks like a good prairie dog gun.  Now you have to find the ammo it likes the best.

I agree, bbls are usually shipped in bulk with a little plastic net sleeve type of thing to protect it. I wouldnt worry about it unless it bothers you, call whoever you got it from and ask if they will replace it.

CLP and a little elbow grease worked, thanks!

Those are the first pics I personally have seen of the matte stainless barrel.

I really like that alot!

Same stock I will choose when I get a longer barreled AR too.

I have a stainles, bead blasted barrel than when it gets marks on it I want to remove I use a green scuzz pad and it takes the marks right off and re-matts the barrel.

ETA, this does change the finish of the barrel a bit.

Nice gun but... I believe your bipod is mounted backwards.

Just a note - your bipod is mounted backward.

       Welcome!
You have passed several of the standard rites of ar passage. I believe about 90% of AR owners get tripped up by that spring the first time they take a stock off,you lucked out as most of us lose the spring or squash it.It is a terrible feeling to spend $1000+ on a toy and not being able to play with it because we have lost or messed up a 65cent part. Warning! when you take off the handgrip there is a similar spring that holds the detent against the safety selector lever!
