It's not like we didn't warn you... now go and either buy Bill Springfield's A-3 buffer for that axe or have HIM install it for you. You'll be able to use that stock and not commit hara-kuri on your shoulder.

Here is a good shot of the "meat mallet - AKA the tenderizer" It looks cool, but holy crap does it do a number on you! I'll spare you the image of my shredded shoulder after ONE mag on FA. That thing is for show only, unless wearing a jacket or other pad.
The heart of any gun is the receiver. In this case, Vector built the gun from a PTR receiver. Remember, JLD, now called PTR 91 Inc, purchased the contents of the FMP factory in Portugal. FMP was a contract mfr of HK, & was licensed to make G3's in Portugal. They got all the blueprints, & molds to make the parts in the USA. Other companies in the Michigan area, & Arizona use reverse engineering to make 9mm, & .223 receivers, & parts could be a tight fit. I would expect nothing less from a gun built on an unmolested JLD/PTR receiver. I have a JLD V51P, & like the OP stated, no extra effort is needed to remove the rear cap, or pins. Quality parts get you a quality gun. Enjoy. GARY N4KVEPerfectly square rails
Perfectly aligned claw mount points
All push pins slide out with finger pressure - The pistol end cap, A2 and A3 all slid on and off with firm hand pressure - no mallets needed here...again.
Square rails - the end cap and both stocks slid on and off with hand pressure. The collapsing A3 had zero binding and functioned perfectly.

Thanks gents - I'll get it mailed off to Bill next week. I appreciate the info, since I was thinking "Gawd, I'll never shoot this gun with that stock again!"Shattered is correct, send your A3 Stock to Bill Springfield, it's money well spent, and you will like the A3 Stock alot more.
The pics shows that yours came with a Rhinemetall Bolt Carrier, that's a pretty good plus.
Enjoy it.
Monthly Specials! ***4TH OF JULY SALE** : 91K -VKE PISTOL, 308 CAL 12" BARRELprice?
I own a Vector 93 I bought less than a year ago. It's a good shooter, but not as nice as this 91k. If you are thinking about one, I would suggest considering the VKE (Vector Kelly Enterprises) variety and give Chuck Malta a call 305-923-6560 to see what the real differences are between the two. I know they are completely different guns (91k versus 93 series), but from a quality perspective, the PTR91 based 91k seems to be better quality all the way around than the straight V93.I'm interested in one of the 93s, so thanks for this review.
A carry handle? Pics?My PTR came with that foreend. You will have to do some grinding, filing and touchup (I used Birchwood Casey aluminum black) if you want to add a carry handle. I did and it looks great
Believe it or not I once did an entire "how to" online with pics but my old puter crashed and I lost the links..as well as all the work in progress pics.. I will try to add some pics of the area on the completed weapon.. basically you have to grind a little of the inside of the forend right where the carry handle tabs will go.. if you are careful and touch it up with the aluminum black inside where you grind, it will look factory. I used a cheap 4 inch angle grinder and a metal file to square it upA carry handle? Pics?
That'll learn ya... buy an Apple. They don't crash. If there's a problem with a program it just quits and you restart the program. Of course as with any 'pooter, you lose whatever wasn't saved. I've been on this 2007 Imac now for just over four years and have not had one crash yet. Not even one virus. A major change for me. I used to breathe computer manuals and was a self proclaimed computer Mr Fixit. It's been kinda nice just doing what I like to do with the 'pooter and not having to do ANY computer maintenance. 6 Terabytes of storage ain't too flimsy either...Believe it or not I once did an entire "how to" online with pics but my old puter crashed and I lost the links..as well as all the work in progress pics..

2007 4 door Jeep Wrangler Sahara hardtop, 99 Grand Cherokee, 95 Silverado extended cab lowrider, 90 Nissan 240sx, and a 73 AMC Javelin... plus a 69 Triumph Bonneville Chop and a 81 Honda 900. The Cherokee might be swapped in for a new (2013) Grand Cherokee... depends on what they come up with. The last three vehicles on the list are just toys. The Silverado has been cross country several times on the Hot Rod Power Tour as well as both East Coast Power Tours. Close to half a million miles on the Silverado with virtually no breakage.Nice job shattered mind. High end computers, high end guns, what do you drive?
