I just bought a DPMS 6-position collapsible buttstock from CTD.
 It didn't have the buffer weight thing in it, just a spring. I asked the guy behind the counter, and we discussed it for awhile, and he said that they'd been using them that way for a while to convert rifles and said he hadn't had a problem. Seems like it would cause a problem to me. Am I gonna break something if I use this? |

Umm, that thing is the buffer. There's no way in the world your rifle will function properly without it. I would take it right back and get a replacement.

That's what I thought. Think I could just get 'em to order me a buffer?

If that's what you want to do, just make sure you get the collapsible-length buffer. It's significantly smaller than the normal A2 buffer. Out of curiosity, what did you pay for the stock without the buffer? I guess if it was cheap enough, you could go buy a buffer on your own and still come out ahead. |

99 dollars. I just contacted Bushmaster about procuring just the CAR buffer.
I feel dumb.

Return it to CTD, they screwed you. I got one from www.rbprecision.com that was made by Rock River and also a lot cheaper than the one you got from CTD.

+1 Mine came from them as well at far less than $99.00, and they gave me all the parts. |

You got reamed dude. Take it back to CTD and buy one for a reasonable price. $99 is insane.

Once I took it out of the packaging, I realized my fatal error:
The buffer was in backwards, deep inside the buffer tube. Once again, I feel dumb. |

I bought my RRA 6pos go-go-gadget stock from the EE here for $55 shipped. Thank you Corwin1968
Just so you know. Never NEVER shoot the rifle without the buffer in the tube, the bolt/carrier will slam back into the rear area of the lower reciever and from what I've read, destroy it. |

Sorry also forgot. You definately got ripped. I'd return it. They are available new (RRA) for $65 or so.

Looks like you got everything squared away. I think someone at Bushmaster was confused b/c the whole stock runs $99.95. The buffer itself should be around $9-12. Either way, still overpriced for what you can get on the EE.
