I'm trying to install a magpul stock.... How is the original backplate attached to the original full stock on the PTR? Is it just friction fit? How should I get these apart???? |
+1, no need to remove the buttplate-there's nothing in there. |
so the backplate (not to be confused with the butt plate) is just friction-fit onto the plastic stock? |
|
ok...the two stubby ones but there's no long one coming from the the butt plate direction like on a standard HK? eta: there must not be one b/c I have the buffer out and I didn't have to unscrew anything from the backside. (I can see the threads where that backside bolt would have gone in) |
|
ok i got it off. i finally just took some pliars to the butt plate and pulled it off scratching it up pretty good but its off and there was a screw in the stock. after unscrewing that it came apart. now its time to get this thing on. I just got my trigger back from bill springfield in the mail today. can't wait to go shoot |
what did that that screw thread into??? the back of the buffer? |
|
I bought my PTR about two years ago, and mine came with a fixed stock of U.S. manufacture. It had no holes in it for the stock pins and the buttplate was glued on and the buffer only used the screws in the front to secure it. It was hollow inside and didn't even have a bracket for the screw that goes into the back of the buffer. I've noticed in pictures of the newer PTRs that some have the stocks that have the holes for the pins in them. I think these may be newer, U.S. made stocks. Regardless of where they are made, I think that if the stock has the holes for the pins, it has the provision inside for the screw that screws into the back of the buffer. If your stock has no holes for the pins, it probably doesn't. I'm glad that this thread got bumped, as I thought of this today and was going to resurrect it with this new info. |
