Step 1: First, use an AR wrench to loosen
the castle nut, making sure the teeth are facing to the rear of the weapon.
Step 2: Loosen the castle nut towards the
rear and slide the castle nut and the lock plate towards the rear.
Note: Notice the takedown spring after loosening the lock plate, make
sure the spring stays in place.
Step 3: Twist the buttstock up slightly and
remove the takedown spring from the weapon. Place the spring in a safe location
for later installation.
Step 4: Remove the takedown pin from the
AR-15 and lift the upper receiver up from the rear.
Step 5: Locate the buffer retainer and the
buffer retaining spring. Push the retainer down firmly. While holding the
retainer firmly down in place, begin to unscrew the buffer tube from the lower
receiver.
Note: Once you have removed the buffer tube, be sure to slowly release
and remove the buffer retainer and buffer retaining spring.
Step 6: Remove the entire buffer tube from
the lower receiver.
Step 7: Remove the existing castle nut, lock
plate, action spring, buffer tube, and buffer assembly from the AR-15
buttstock.
Step 8: Insert ATI buffer tube into the
buttstock.
Step 9: Assemble the action spring and
buffer assembly by securing buffer assembly tightly inside the action spring.
Step 10: Locate the ATI castle nut and lock
plate. Screw the castle nut onto the buffer tube with teeth facing the rear.
Align lock plate with existing notch on buffer tube. Slide the lock plate
towards the rear against the castle nut.
Step 11: Locate the takedown spring. Align
and insert the spring back into place. Next, thread the buffer tube attached to
the buttstock into place on the lower receiver.
Note: Before tightening the castle nut, be sure to align the lock plate
to the lower receiver with takedown spring securely in place.
Step 12: Continue to secure the buffer tube
into the lower receiver until it is locked in place and secure with the buffer
retainer.
Note: A notch on the buffer tube will allow you to secure the buffer
tube in place with the buffer retainer.
Step 13: Insert the action spring and buffer
assembly into the buffer tube to the rear. Firmly push the assembly into buffer
tube so that the head of the assembly is facing the front of the weapon.
Note: Holding the buffer retainer down with your finger or a screwdriver
will help the assembly slide into place.
Step 14: Firmly push the action spring and
buffer assembly into place so that the buffer retainer is holding the assembly
in a spring-loaded position.
Note: Make sure the buffer retainer, buffer retaining spring, takedown
spring, and lock plate are correctly aligned and in place before moving to step
15.
Step 15: Bring the upper receiver back down
into place towards the rear. Insert the takedown pin back into the lower
receiver of the AR-15, and lock in place.
Step 16: Use an AR wrench to tightly secure
the castle nut and buffer tube in place.
Step 17: You have now successfully installed
ATI’s AR-15 military aluminum buffer tube package. Enjoy!
