I am ordering a VLTOR Modstock kit and was wondering if any of y'all going to the campout (or before, if I get it in time) or any other SFLoridians can switch out, or help me switch out the buffer tube. I am tempted to try myself but dont have the tools and probably cant get them before going to Tallahassee on the 18th, plus I have never tried it and dont want to mess up my rifle by guesstimating 'preciate ANY help guys NonC |

Changing out the stock/buffer is easy, and there isn't much that can go wrong if you're careful. I put a VLTOR on one of my Bushmasters, and it was about a 5 minute job (including several beer breaks in between). Get an AR stock wrench from Brownells. Open up the AR like your're going to strip it. Remove the buffer & spring by depressing the retaining pin and sliding spring & buffer out the front. Use the wrench to loosen the retaining ring on the buffer tube. Unscrew old buffer tube/stock & remove from upper. Screw VLTOR buffer/stock on upper, making sure that you don't screw it in too close to the buffer retaining pin, then tighten retaining ring with the wrench. Replace buffer & spring from the front. Finito. |
Well f**K! Do you know how long I struggled putting together my first lower kit! If I knew Osprey made house calls.......  jj
