AR-15 / M16A1 BUTTSTOCK SCREW Reviews & Ratings

AR-15/M16A1 BUTTSTOCK SCREW

Early AR-15 / M16A1 buttstocks require a shorter screw than the more common M16A2 screw, and that's where the Brownells M16A1 Buttstock Screw saves the day! This is the correct screw for use on original AR-15, M16, M16A1, SP1, and other similar rifles using the shorter A1 rifle buttstock. The Brownells M16A1 Buttstock Screw is short enough that it won’t protrude into the buffer tube and interfere with movement of the buffer. Eliminates the need for a spacer between the buttstock and buffer tube (aka "receiver extension").

Precision-machined, hardened steel
Tough matte black phosphate finish
Comes with white thread locker patch on threads to ensure the screw won't back out during firing
Center hole allows airflow during firing and water to drain if rifle is submerged
NOT compatible with later, longer A2 buttstocks

The Brownells M16A1 Buttstock Screw is a small item but absolutely necessary for properly installing a surplus or reproduction A1-pattern buttstock on your rifle.

Great little and important screw.

Nice little screw. If you got an A1 buttstock and have the surprice that didn't come with screw, then this is the screw you need. The threads are correct fitment to the tube. I am giving 4 starts only because in the descripcion says; Comes with white thread locker patch on threads to ensure the screw won't back out during firing... Mine didn't come with it.
