First off, I'm fairly new to ARs.
My daughter wanted an AR for Christmas, so I purchased one of the New Frontier polymer lowers. She decided she wanted pink furniture so I figured that as long as it kept her interested, I'd get the pink.
The stock I got required a mil spec buffer tube which I found used on line.
Now for my question..... when I installed the mil spec tube it doesn't come forward enough to hold the buffer and spring inside the tube because I can't go another full turn without covering the little spring loaded retaining pin that holds the buffer and spring in place. Am I correct in assuming that using a dremel to make a small notch in the end of the tube will allow me to come one more full turn and still hold the retaining pin in place?
The commercial tube did have a small indentation in the end of the tube which I take it was for that same reason.
Hope this makes a small amount of sense to you.
Thanks for reading my babble.
