Disassembly Of Rifle Buttstock
1. Cock the hammer, depress the buffer retainer, and pull the buffer and its spring forward out of the receiver extension.
2. Remove the top buttstock screw.
3. Remove the buttstock, takedown pin's spring and detent, and the receiver extension spacer (A1 will not have spacer.)
4. Remove receiver extension (buffer tube) with a wrench, while holding the buffer retainer in place.
5. Remove buffer retainer and spring.
Assembly Of Carbine Buttstock
1. Install the rear takedown pin's detent and spring into their hole in the lower receiver.
2. Thread the castle nut all the way onto the buffer tube, then install the back plate (hump forward) in front of it.
3. Thread the receiver extension (buffer tube) into the lower receiver about 3/4 of the way.
4. Insert the buffer retainer and its spring into the lower receiver.
5. Tighten the receiver extension until it overlaps the buffer retainer to hold it in place.
6. Tighten the castle nut with a spanner wrench, while making sure that the takedown pin's spring gets compressed into its hole correctly by the back plate.
7. Slide the buttstock onto the receiver extension by pulling straight down on the latch.
8. Cock the hammer and slide the spring and buffer into the receiver extension while depressing the buffer retainer.
You do not need to stake the castle nut if you don't want to. I never have, nor do I use Loc-Tite on it.
