    Actually, I did go back through... to find out what really happened.

    You hijacked another WTS topic to post your own...  THAT is why your post was deleted.  HUGE no no.  And of course... no where does it say you were going to give them away for free.

    I was only trying to "sell" them for the $7 it cost to throw them in a priority mail box, but I apologize also for not making that clear. In the end, I "sold" them for the shipping costs only, and I sold my 10 round G17 mags to a guy in a non-free state the same way, just for the cost of shipping. Anyway, I apologize for not PMing you before hand.

    Sorry but you should have read the rules. 

    Just to clarify, the forum should only cover its expenses if you make money on the sale of your items?

    And finally as I stated... instead of breaking simple forum rules... should have messaged an admin or a mod and asked to have it listed.  They would generally let you.   

    Seriously... what's $3?  The $2 the forum ends up receiving means the difference between me being hundreds in the whole every month and A LOT less work for mods keeping people who take advantage of community. 

    If you were really going to give the mags away for free... you are 1 out of 99 people who would simply register to make a buck off of someone here. 

    In the same amount of time it took you to find this topic and call it "lame" you could have sent a private message and had it listed. 

    If I'm giving items away for free, I'm not going to pay anything. I could have thrown the mags out and ended up in the same position as I was trying to. 

    With all due respect, I have run sites too. I paid my expenses through banner ads (although they don't pay much anymore) and donations. Sometimes I made money, often I didn't.

    In fact, I donate money fairly regularly to a gun site where I live now, but I resent being FORCED to pay, versus doing so voluntarily.

    Anyway, I already gave my mags away a long time ago, to someone on Armslist. It's your site, and you can run it as you see fit. I'm just voicing my opinion. You and the other moderators can do with it what you'd like.

    Have a good day.

    This is how it has been for the last 8 years and in line with majority of other communities out there.

    Before going with the current system, there were plenty of people who came to take advantage of the community who had no interest in participating... they were here primarily for personal gains.

    As always, if $3 is a detriment, you can always message me or the mods and make a case and if the item is worth it to the community, would let you list it for free.

    In either case though... far cheaper than gunbroker or any consignment fee you would pay an FFL.  

    I know what the point is, but two years ago, after moving out of NJ to a free state, I attempted to list my stash of 15 round AR mags for just the cost of shipping, just to help out members. My post was removed for violating the rule. Given that I wasn't going to make a dollar on those sales, I wasn't going to pay anything at all to list them. This gave me a bad taste in my mouth.

    Where I live now, there are plenty of free sites to sell guns and accessories on. I wouldn't say it's in line with other communities. The others have paid accounts for FFLs, but are still free for normal guys.

    Yup, they use a rifle length tube and tack a plate in at the carbine stop mark.  Double check if you have a carbine spring and buffer, if so you just need a carbine buffer tube. Just make sure the tube size, commerical or mil-spec, and the Magpul stock are the same (comm-comm or milspec-milspec).  Can reuse the castle nut and plate. No pinning required.

    Thanks.  This is a really dumb question, but what do you mean by a "buffer" as opposed to a buffer tube. Both my tube and the Magpul are mil-spec, so my only real issue then I guess is what the spring is?

    Why not drill out the pin, move it to the position you desire and re-pin it?

    Because the NJ compliant model of the Sport II doesn't come with a standard 6 position buffer tube. It comes with a much longer one. Basically, if you drilled the pin out and moved the stock in, the tube would stick out the back. It's very weird.

    So I just purchased a new M&P Sport II, and am unfortunately in New Jersey, so it's a "post-ban" featureless model. I don't like the stock, because it's pinned at the fully extended position and is too long for me, so I think I want to replace it with a Magpul MOE fixed carbine stock. 

    I have two questions for anyone who has done this. 

    First, do I need a new mil-spec buffer tube alone or do I need the whole assembly, with the spring, nut, and all of that? It's not clear to me from the research I've done whether I can keep using the springs that it came with. I also know I need a wrench to remove the tube.

    Second, does anyone have any recommendations on a buffer tube, or if necessary, a whole assembly? 

    I'm just starting out here, so I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks in advance.
