First off, I'm new here, so I'll say' "Hi" and hope I'm not posting something already discussed at length. I have a unique problem with the AR. I'm a lefty and an LEO. The trapdoor buttplate skids across my badge sometimes as I go thru various tactical drills and shooting positions. I have a hard time getting a good seat into my chest with the stock. I live in CT, so given the rather inane law this state passed (which mirrors Clinton's ban which had its sunset), I can't own a personal rifle with a telescoping stock. They make a very nice rubber buttplate for those. But, I'm stuck with the full stock. I found the John Masen AR15 Recoil Pad for Trap Door Stocks (#1537). So I bought two and outfitted my rifles. About a week after doing so, one of the rifles lost the buttstock. As I was shooting, the washer inside the pad gave way and caused the screw to pass through the pad. Next thing I knew, I had a butt that was much longer than it should have been. And I lost the detent spring for the rear take-down pin. It wasn't fun. So, now I'm a bit worried about the other rifle which is the one I use for most of my training schools and training sessions. Anyone have a better buttpad. Obviously, the recoil isn't an issue. It's that skidding across the badge-thing that causes the problem. I need something, probably in rubber. |
