Hey folks, I was hoping somebody can give me some help. I damaged the threads on my original JR Carbine buttstock and I'm concerned that it isn't screwing in all the way. Can some of you guys with the original JR Carbine buttstock have a look at yours? With my buttstock screwed in as far as it goes, the and the stock collapsed as far as possible (with the roll pin removed of course), I have about 2 or 3 visible threads between the castle nut and the buttstock. Can you guys look at yours and tell me how many visible threads there are? The warnings in the manual sound pretty scary if you don't have the proper depth internal depth to the buffer tube. Thanks in advance.

The video says to screw in the buffer tube all the way, then back it off to line it up using the plate. I thin kmine has a couple of threads showing between the castle nut when it's in right. BTW, the buffer tube is a fixed length, the position of the stock on the tube has no bearing in the length of the tube. You can prove this by pulling up on the adjustment level and then pull the stock off to see the tube.

My buffer tube and receiver plate are damaged and I'm awaiting a response with regards to warranty. Funny, I was attempting to clean mine for the first time before taking it out to shoot.
Seems like I'm not the only one to have a fault due to an inherent design flaw.

Actually I was careless. I didn't back off the receiver plate when I was unscrewing the buttstock so it scraped along the threads. At the time I was working on trying to get the fore end off, but it was so tight it wouldn't budge with any tool I had available. So when I went to unscrew the buttstock I assumed it was tight as well.
I did the exact same thing when I cleaned mine for the first time. I ran the tube back in slowly to "re-seat" the threads and it's worked just fine ever since. They do say in the video to back off the plate, but they don't put much emphasis on it and it seems a common thing to do.
