great video, very concise and step by step without dumbing down. do want to know though, what is the purpose of the 'hide-y' spring? the little one that you insert from the bottom against the sling mount plate? as I had a several messages back n forth with the online sling seller, i do wish they had advised me about the castle nut tool. but i got it half way down and now after watching this a couple times i should be able to do it NP once my tool arrives ( i would NOT advise using a channel locks...ugh). thanks

It is the rear takedown pin spring that keeps pressure on a detent. Which prevents any chance of the rear takedown pin from working itself loose or coming out.

Thanks for the excellent video. I just replaced my buffer tube & butt stock following your detailed instructions. However, I did have ONE small problem. Per your instructions, I noted the buffer retention spring/pin. And I also noted the small takedown pin spring between the buttstock collar tube lock and the lower receiver. However, while unscrewing the buffer tube slowly to prevent the small takedown pin spring from flying out, I completely forgot about the buffer retention spring & pin, and they flew out into my workshop! Mortified, I started moving all of my woodworking power tools around to find the proverbial needle in the haystack amongst the sawdust. Ugh! When I had all but given up hope and was ready to order the parts from Brownell's, I moved a small Home Depot plastic bag out of the way and the pin and spring fell out onto my router table!! The day was saved and my AR-15 now has a brand new buffer tube & butt stock!

Next to check is that the castle nut is locked all the way down. If you have play just in the butt stock but not the buffer tube itself that is very typically of stocks that come with a lot of guns they're just basic ordinary stocks or if your using a mil spec tube but commercial stock. Hope some of this helps with your trouble.

Can you shoot an ar without the buffer tube? Basically convert it into a pistol ?
@RustyGuns

It would fire one shot, the bolt would slam to the rear and the gun would be useless.

Will my AR shoot if I took out the whole buffer tube ??
@RustyGuns

It would fire one round but without the buffer (which is what I think you ment) and spring, but it will fail to cycle properly. And will most likely cause damage to the weapon or the shooter. Now without the tube on it, the bolt will come flying out. So do not attempt either for any reason, it is a serious risk to injury or death.

Do you have to remove the upper in order to change the buffer tube?
@RustyGuns
5 жыл бұрын
I don't know that I've ever even seen anyone try it that way. Probably because you'll have to find a way to push the buffer pin down enough while tightening down tube.

Do you have to re attach the sling mount?
@RustyGuns
5 жыл бұрын
Yes that plate is what holds the small spring for the rear take down pin in place. So you either use the sling mount plate or the standard plate that has no loops for a sling.

What happens if I do bend that spring?
@RustyGuns
3 жыл бұрын
It may not keep proper pressure on the rear takedown pin detent. Which could cause the takedown pin to lock in properly.

The easiest way I found to seat the spring is to hold it down with the flat part of a razor blade and move the endplate counter-clockwise over it, press down and remove the razor blade.

That little spring has a detent pin that holds takedown pin in place. If you remove that little spring you better keep your eyes open for that pin, very small

Matt Petree they typically come off pretty easy but if needed you can use a small amount off oil, let it soak in for a minute or two, then just barely rock the nut back and forth then try to remove it fully

How is it loose? As in comes free easily? Did you remember to put the spring back in. And the detent? If that came out also. And be sure spring wasn't bent or crushed.
