Installation Notes:
- When
tightening the anti-rattle set screw, be careful not to over tighten as
the threaded insert may separate from the plastic stock body
- When
sliding the buttstock onto a 6-position buffer tube, the lock pin has a
notch in the head of the lock pin that must line up with a tab on the
stock body. Once the slot and tab are lined up, the pin can be fully
retracted allowing the buttstock to slide onto the tube. The MBA-4 should
slide easily without resistance. If there is any resistance, the lock pin
is not fully retracted.
Luth-AR Note on Savage Rifles:
Our MBA-4 is designed to fit standard Mil-Spec and
Commercial Tubes. Some Savage tubes have been found to be oversized making our
stock fit very tightly. Please note that you may need to simply purchase a
standard carbine tube in order for this to pair correctly. Note: Customers
have reported that the MBA-3 or MBA-4 fit the buffer tube that comes on
the new model 110 BA Stealth. If you have the older
model 110 BA you may have to simply change the buffer tube.

Buffer Tube Requirements
The MBA-3 and MBA-4 are Carbine Buttstock and requires the
use of a Carbine buffer tube. The MBA-3 and MBA-4 will fit either a Mil-Spec or
a Commercial buffer tube. (Note: Some commercial buffer tubes may be oversized
from industry norms and may not fit. All commercial buffer tubes sold by
Luth-AR will fit the MBA-3 and MBA-4).
Carbine buffer tubes typically have 6 positions of
adjustability, and can be distinguished from an A2 style Rifle buffer
tube that offers no adjustment positions. Carbine buffer tubes also differ from
the A2 by their shape, the A2 Rifle buffer tube is completely round in shape
while the carbine buffer tubes have a rectangular appendage to the tube that
encloses six position holes. An A2 Rifle buffer tube is substantially longer
than a carbine buffer tube.

Carbine buffer tubes typically are offered in two types,
Mil-Spec or Commercial. The Mil-Spec carbine buffer tube is visually identified
by the 90 degree “cut” at the closed end of the tube. The Commercial carbine
buffer tube is visually identified by the 6 degree slant “cut” at the closed
end of the tube. A Mil-Spec tube should meet Military Specifications while
Commercial tube dimensions are determined by the manufacturer and are typically
made from an extrusion. As long as a Commercial buffer tube does not exceed
1.172? in diameter the MBA-3 and MBA-4 should fit the buffer tube. Using a
Commercial buffer tube with an MBA-3 and MBA-4 will typically provide a more “snug”
fit due to the slightly larger diameter of Commercial buffer tubes.
