I have a colt pre-ban ar15. i disassembled the buttstock. there was this little black rubber band that goes on the lower part of the stock that connects to the lower receiver, well i lost it and was wondering if anyone knows what i'm talking about, and if you do can you tell me where i can find one. is it necessary to have.? Thanks |
Are you talking about a collapsible AR stock or a standard A1/A2 stock? I'm not familar with any rubber band for any of these, below are the parts for a CAR stock - An A1/A2 stock involves only the buffer/spring assy., buffer tube (A2 stock will have a buffer spacer) & buttstock assy., pic -  You didn't loose the spring and/or indent pin for the rear take down pin did you? |

my colt was made in 1990, so maybe they stopped using them. you see the A2 stock, if you look at the end of it, the opposite end of the trapdoor, you'll see a little stump, around that little stump goes a black rubber band around .5" diameter. when i bought my collapseable stock it didn't come with the rubber band. it's just really bugging me that i lost it, i wanted to return the rifle to the way it came from the factory, i might try to sell it, it's an AR15 gov't model. |
My bet would be that the previous owner put it on to possibly cure a small amount of play with the stock. If it would make you feel better I'll find a black o-ring that's the right size and send it to you. It'll cost you $40 but hey, it is a custom Colt part you know.
