Good morning,
I recently converted my LR-308 6 position collapsible stock to a fixed A2 stock. As such, I purchased an A2 buffer tube, an LR-308 A2 buffer spring and buffer, and fixed stock.
It all assembled well without any issues except for the fact that the bolt carrier does not go back far enough to allow the bolt carrier latch to catch the face of the bolt. It's as if the A2 buffer tube is too short and there is not enough room for the for the compressed buffer spring and buffer to be far enough back to accommodate enough of the bolt carrier for the face of the bolt to clear the bolt carrier latch.
Sounds silly, I know...but I am not new to LR's however, this is first time I have added an A2 fixed stock to one.
With the above issue, it begs the question, is there a different length A2 buffer tube for the LR-308 that I am not aware of?
Thank you for your time and I greatly appreciate your input.
