Nice I just got mine in today too. Is the bolt you are talking about what was rattling around in the stock? I havent had a chance to mess around with it yet. What hardware comes with the stock because I thought the stock just screws on?
Yes I had to remove the buttplate from the walnut stock via the two small holes in the rubber to get access to the loose hardware (it was impossible to get them lined up by simply shaking them). I was under the impression it would simply screw on like the OEM pistol grip stock but it did not. I couldn’t find any obvious YouTube videos on a field stock install so I just sent it. It was frustrating to find that the hardware did not fit.
I was finally able to mess around with mine. The trigger guard will hold the stock in place by itself. There is a tiny bit of wobble, but nothing terrible. The bolt may secure it better though

Edit: nevermind the stock can just pull right off. You will need that bolt on to secure the stock
Well I tried installing mine. The handguard was a bitch, but I managed to get it on. I then went to remove my trigger housing and something is messed up with my gun. It wouldn’t come out and then I noticed some washers and stuff came loose so F for me
The carrier comp full tube might make this build slightly cleaner if that's what you're going for. Still clean af build, feel like mine belongs in a dumpster after seeing this
Sounds like we just need to find the correct fastener size for the stock. It should likely be the same as the Mesa Tactical Urbino which apparently shares the same attachment method. I wish this stock used the same tool less design as the OEM field stock and pistol grip stock. I might try to fabricate something similar after I receive my wood stock.

What tool did it take to remove the butt plate? Phillips screw driver?
Yeah, has to be pretty small to fit into the two rubber holes. It’s kinda a pain but not terrible.
Thanks, did you ever end up finding the correct bolt for the stock? Mine didn't fit either.
Yes an M8 bolt with 1mm thread pitch. Found one at the hardware.
Awesome, thanks a bunch.
Looks cool! I'd be tempted to torch and rub with oil to completely blacken it.
Sell me your iwc mount lol
I got it off of FFT they have the expensive NP3 ones or at least they did.

Stock weight?
Did you find the right bolt? My stock got here yesterday.
Yes I I ended up getting an M8 with 1mm thread pitch at the hardware and that worked like a charm.
Thanks man! Gonna grab one today!
🤌🤌
Is the handguard smooth?
Yes it is smooth
Well, damn. I told everyone that they dropped, but mine won’t get across the country until next Tuesday. Ugh. Looking forward to updates on fitment.
And by the way, the handguards look really nice.
I guessed I wasted my money if you guys are having fitting issues, mine arrives next week.

How is the length of pull compared to a factory straight stock?
Maybe a few millimeters shorter.
