I purchased it as a package with a buffer tube, buffer, and spring included with the stock, and mine was an extremely sloppy fit....so much so that I considered sending it back even though I otherwise really like it. I decided to see what I could do to tighten it up first, so I placed two layers of "100 MPH tape" inside of the stock. It fits great now. Note: if anyone does this, you want to adhere the tape to the inside of the stock, NOT the outside of the buffer tube.Capt.

I am going to order one.<br /><br />BTW: if you want the recoil spring to work on lighter loads, pull out the spring and replace it with one that has a lower spring constant (defined as the number of inches of compression divided by the amount of force applied to it (lbs). For example: if the original spring compresses 0.25 inches when you apply 5 lbs of force to it, the constant would be 0.05 in/lb. you can find spring suppliers on the web. Buy one of the same diameter and length, but with a lower constant. Contrary to popular belief, cutting the original spring will not give you good results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235455742176238008.post-8138205033842510612012-07-17T15:15:28.051-04:002012-07-17T15:15:28.051-04:00I do have this stock on my M-500 and it will soak ...I do have this stock on my M-500 and it will soak up 3" 00/000 Buck and 2 3/4" 1oz slugs like a champ.
