A-2 stock on MWS

[judgedelta]

I just put an A-2 stock on my MWS and notice a lot of noise from the spring when cycling the bolt. I took it back apart and oiled it good... no change. Is this normal.

Has anyone put a quik-detach cup in an A-2 stock? Any tips or caveats?

A Tubbs / SSS flat wire buffer spring will usually quiet things up a bit.

I have found that different buffer tubes are quieter than others. If the Tubb spring and lube do not fix it, then I would try a different tube.

If you want a QD between the stock and receiver, something like this may work.

Thanks a bunch, guys. I have the Tubbs spring on order from Brownells. I am wanting to put a QD insert in the stock and wanting some input from experience, if possible... The A-2 stock is foam filled, unlike the A-1, so it should hold, I hope.

I've been very pleased with the A2 on mine.

Go to the auto parts store and get some packing grease.

Coat the spring somewhat lightly and the noise is gone.

I've got packing "wheel bearing" grease out the wazoo. I'll break her down tomorrow and give it a try. The flat spring was highly recommended and I'll try it also when it gets here. Thanks a lot John.

The grease was just the ticket. Thanks again John...

Awesome I might just go this route.

Good tip on the grease, smart. A-2's fit me well, may use this in the future. Thanks.

That seems to be a better option for me, more so than the SopMod.

Will a standard a2 m16 buffer work for the ar10?

Where are you guys getting the a2 ar10 kits?

No, they are different sizes (AR308/10 is shorter I think). 762sass.com has them as well as Armalite. Both ship out quickly.

Re: A-2 stock on MWS

I got my stock and tube from from LMT; THEN had to reorder the upper screw and grommet thingy that goes on the end of the tube, because I didn't know they didn't come with the stock and tube. Got the spring and heavy-weight buffer from Slash's http://www.heavybuffers.com/ar10carbine.html. I've also got a set of heavy-duty QD swivels ordered from Grovtec. I had the lightweight-looking inserts from Brownell's, but they don't have screw threads and I wasn't sure about holding as well in the plastic-foam stock.
