When I install the buffer tube on my lower receiver I find two possible ways to set it up in regards to the buffer spring retaining pin: 1) The buffer tube is just BARELY covering the lip of the retaining pin and there is a small gap between the tube and the "nipple" of the retaining pin. 2) The buffer tube is FIRMLY against the "nipple" of the retaining pin almost to the point that I have difficulty depressing the retaining pin even with a flat-head screwdriver. There is no in-between. The first is firm but in my mind I worry about it when I start firing the gun. The second one seems too tight. Which one do I choose? |

mine was the same way, and I settled on #1 which is barely holding the pin in place. Works fine Kind of tricky isnt it? In the end though, the instruction offered on this site- can't remeber exactly where- but I think it is in the HOW TO section- was dead on. You turn the buffer tube just past the point of perfect- to hold it in place- then turn it back about a 1/4 turn and click- its in place read the instructions offered and it will become clear |

check these out here pages 92, 196 and 200 are relevant or even better (the first link requires a PDF reader which is no big deal but just to let you know- However, the second was the one I used) |
