Say you want to leave the storage doors off your UBR stock. Do you leave the screws in, or keep them somewhere else?
IIRC Magpul gives you a set of screws for installing when the door and cover are removed and their instructions warn against leaving the screws out. I think they have a manual on their website.
Yep, you replace the 1/2" screws with 3/8" when you run without the door and cover:
Thanks HeavyDuty! I should have read the manual…
Yeah. The sling attachment loop on the butt will fall out without them. (AMHIK)
Most Absolutely. When I took both the storage doors off of the stock, I noticed that the original screws bottomed out prior to screwing down completely. Doh!, Then I remembered that the kit came with 4 extra shorter screws with blue loctite for this purpose.
I was wondering why in the heck MagPull would need such huge screws (1/2" & 3/8") and why a different sizes were needed when the door & cover were removed. Made no sense at all. :help:
It wasn’t until I read the manual that I realized that the screws are actually 10-24 in size and the lengths are 1/2" & 3/8". Ya had me going there for a minute! :jester:
I think most of us have probably run into this during our first UBR install. I knew to replace the screws, but didn’t realize that was why the shorter screws were provided until the longer ones bottomed out well before they were flush. Live and learn …
