So it was a rainy day today and my day off work so I felt the need for a picture or two of some newly bought tools. After I took a few pictures I put my midway silicone rifle sock over my gun and about half way As I was pulling the sock over the rifle I hear a tink tink tink. I lifted the sock and there I find a little screw. I look over the rifle and accessories and I have no idea where it goes too..... Maybe it was in the sock when midway sent it too me? eh?!

Possible the screw for the buttstock to take up wobble.

... well theres your problem...

lol. sorry. couldn't resist

Yes it appears the screw fell out from the butt-stock. Glad it did now vs when I went to the range with it and it would never have been found again. I never adjusted that screw so I'm guessing HK did'nt screw mine in enough! Thanks frogman

yeah mine fell out a while back and I dont even know when or where it happened nor do I know where to get a replacement. glad you found it before it got taken my the underpants gnomes like mine did

 

[scottzcamaro]

Ya i never even adjusted it ( the screw). I also maybe only adjusted the stock length via lever maybe 8-9 times total prior to the fallout? Hope HK has spares on hand for people losing them via not screwed in enough from factory?

I have to admit I really like that feature on my MR556

Its nice to have a tight stock and the length I want

although I lost that screw, I took the stock off and adjusted the tension screws on the buffer tube... no slop in the stock, tight as can be and i can still adjust the stock too. great little features here and there make me really appreciate this gun
