This is my first foray into Luth-AR parts of any kind and I am overall impressed based on the price I paid. This is a very stout rifle stock and has a pretty good feel to it when shooting, and the A2 buffer kit that came with it is working very well. It was put on an 18" Rifle-Length GS chambered in .223 Wylde and the A2 buffer and spring that came with it had the action working very smoothly and ejection was perfectly timed (3-4 o'clock) which was a previous problem with this particular rifle.
Installation is fairly simple, but the instructions can be a bit confusing. The rubber buttpad in particular was a little odd to remove as it was seated very tight, as if it did not come off, but once it came off it went back on with no issues. Underneath the buttpad there is a screw sitting freely in a + shaped screw hole that installs into the tube once the stock is mounted to the tube and receiver, then the buttpad goes over that and then the two outer hex screws are reinstalled.
The Buttpad is very hard rubberized material (harder than Magpul materials), but on a .223/5.56, that shouldn't be an issue.
