    Default Help..... Please!

    Man I just installed a new magpul mil spec butt stock replacing the factory stock on my bushmaster. I'm ALMOST positive I did it right. It is lined up and no extra parts. LoL. I used the factory buffer and spring. Now I can't pull my charging handle back but an inch or two. Feeling stupid about now. Anyone know what I did wrong. Phillip

    What stock did you install? Did you replace the buffer tube?

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    As mentioned, you need a carbine buffer. Not mentioned, you also need a carbine buffer spring too.

    check to make sure the detent that holds back the buffer is all the way down, with just the little nub sticking up.

    Did you buy the buttstock to fit a mil-spec or commercial buffer tube? They make 2 sizes.
