That was the case with our IKICKHIPPIES SLAP Plate as well as the Magpul ASAP we’ve got on another build. With many of the newer sling plates and their flared orientation, you may not be able to get more than one spot staked. Four of them are available and optimally you should at least try to stake in two spots if possible. Staking is the process of pushing the metal from the Receiver Endplate (Sling Plate) into the staking slots on the Castle Nut. If allowed to turn, the buffer retainer could release causing a headache and leaving you with a non-functioning firearm. This is done to ensure the Castle Nut doesn’t work free and allow your Receiver Extension to turn. Something we’ll get into with the installation video is staking the Receiver End Plate and Castle Nut. The two differ in size as well and you’ll find more aftermarket stocks built for the Mil-Spec tube.Īs a rule of thumb here, inquire about the manufacturing process of your Receiver Extension, as there are instances of extruded Mil-Spec diameter extensions being sold out there. The differences are typically that the Commercial tube is made from extruded aluminum rather than forged aluminum like the stronger Mil-Spec tube. Mil-Spec Receiver Extension (buffer tube)Ĭommonly referred to as the buffer tube, Receiver Extensions are available in a Mil-Spec or Commercial version. Buttstock Installationīefore we get into the actual steps of installation, let’s talk a bit about the selections we’ve made on parts here and why we recommend them. Believe it or not these are some of the most important pieces of the entire Lower Receiver and are the cause of many puzzling AR-15 issues.Ĭontinue reading for our step-by-step instructions for installing the Buttstock with detailed photos and video. This isn’t the place to skimp on quality parts and doing so will cause unnecessary problems that could have been avoided in the first place, namely the Buffer and Action Spring. While we say Buttstock, this step is comprised of quite a few different parts that aren’t in the standard Lower Parts Kit, like the one we recommend from Stag Arms. Today in part eight of our DIY AR-15 Build we’ll be showing you how to install the final part onto your Lower Receiver, the Buttstock.
