BIGBREW Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 I hope I'm asking this in the right place. Friend of mine wants to build a period correct rifle. We are wondering what buffer tube and spring will work with these parts that he found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNKEBIT Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Looks exactly like the UTG stocks I bought for my guns. Bought 2. They came with the mil spec parts with them. Tubes, springs, buffers, rings, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Well thats an older stalk.. but lacks details? Manufacturer? Length? ( could be a youth size) ? Details are good for assumption.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Just looks like a standard A2 stock to me. Uses a standard rifle receiver extension(buffer tube), rifle buffer, and rifle spring. If it's A2 it will need the little spacer at the end of the buffer tube. If it's A1 than it doesnt use the spacer. Other than the spacer, the extension, buffer, and spring are the same. brand shouldn't matter.

DNP Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 That looks just like the one I have laying around. Came with my full rifle minus lower kit I got from American Spirit Arms back in 2000. Probably need a rifle buffer tube and the spacer for the end.

BIGBREW Posted January 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Anyone see any issues with these parts working together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 The handguard looks like it was for the original handguard cup/end. you need the top right one. It goes AROUND the front of the handguard. The one you have is designed for the newer handguard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spacer would go on the end ( Buttplate end ) of the Receiver Extension ( Buffer Tube ) , if its an A2 Stock , along with a longer Stock Screw then the A1 screw .

I thought he was referring to the small gap between the stock and receiver. The collar on the buffer tube fills that gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalshop Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 I have two of those Triangular Hand Guard caps , both I think are for the 0.750" Gas Block dia.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBREW Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Yes I was referring to that small space between the receiver and stock. The end of the buffer tube filing that space makes sense. Survival the barrel has the gas block built into the front sight. My friend bought a FAXON barrel that came worth a round cap, I didn't know the front of the grip was triangular till after everything was here . We are going to see if we can return it and get one with the triangle end cap already on. If not I'll pull the front site and switch it out. Putting the modern era stuff only takes me a couple hours. This build has been a good learning lesson. Thank you again for your responses, please keep them coming you guys are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBREW Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 The guy I'm assembling for got a FAXON barrel. Problem is the front mount for the handguard is round, we need the triangle. I contacted FAXON, they said the front sight could be removed so I could switch out the mount. Those pins aren't moving one bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) They are tapered pins. I think I've posted about this, but it was a long time ago. Hit the SMALL end of the pin - look at the left sides and right sides, and you'll see what I mean. And you need to hit it like it took something from you. SMACK the fuk outta that thing. It'll move. Don't be afraid of it, just MASH IT. I'm being serious...

survivalshop Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) You can reinstall the Tapered Pins in the reverse , just make sure the small end goes in first from the right of the sight /rifle ( Ejection port side ) . Nothing wrong with reusing the Pins as long as they are inserted correctly . I have extras if you need them & a Triangular Hand Guard Cap .

BIGBREW Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I'm going to make a jig today and try abs use the vice to press them out. Got a little work done last night. Still waiting for the buffer tube so I had to stop there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Just so you know , if you haven't looked ready , the M16A1 with triangular hand guards , has a round Delta Ring for the rear of the HG , not Tapered , like the A2's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBREW Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I have a round delta. That pin isn't budging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
