Additional Information
The MBA-3 does not include the following accessories, they can be purchased on our website separately in the Accessories section:
- Sling Swivels (Side or Rear) Sold Separately, see below. Also see Tech-Tip Videos
- Carbine Buffer tube
- Carbine Buffer Body
- Carbine Buffer Spring
- Latch Plate
- Lock Ring
Installation Notes:
- When used with the smaller diameter Mil-Spec tube you can adjust the set screw located on the left hand side using the included 3/32” Allen wrench. Turn clockwise to slowly tighten the set screw until it contacts the buffer tube. The Anti-rattle set screw is NOT designed to lock the position of the stock. Over tightening may damage the butt stock.
-
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-3 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-3 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.
