[@JustPewIt]

@@JustPewIt the castle nut on the buffer tube that butts to the chassis, that small set screw is not supposed to hold it, just to get it in the position to tighten the castle nut

@@6creeder688 no not on this one that’s what the set screw is for even on the instructions it said not to use

[@6creeder688]

@@JustPewIt brotha they got castle nuts on the pictures on there web site 😂, that set screw will not hold under .308 recoil. I’ve got one of those chassis on a .22 and it’s got a castle nut lol

@@6creeder688 hmmmm when I get off work I’ll look again but I’m sure it don’t say that in the instructions but definitely could be wrong

Man I have almost the exact same set up and mine won’t shoot for shit. The patriot line is so hit or miss.
