M16 Buttstock Adapter Installation on M14/M1A:
NSN : 1005-01-609-5088
The M16A2 Buttstock Adapter provides a sling attachment point on top of a M16 A2/A4 buttstock. This keeps the weapon right side up during carry and prevents the weapon from dangerously flipping upside down. The VS-A2 Adapter allows access to the cleaning kit “trap door” on the rear of the buttstock and accepts standard 1.25” wide slings such as the NSN Vickers Combat Applications Sling.
The M16 Buttstock Adapter can also be installed on the M14 / M1A platform and maintains the ability to use the gusseted butt plate.
Though purpose built around the A2 buttstock, we have found that the VS-A2 will fit the M1A / M14 as shown in the above video.
As with all Blue Force Gear, it is made with excellence in the USA and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
Works great on my A2 buttocks, along with a Uloop attachment around my front side post, and Marine Corps issued sling. Color matches perfectly with sling and Uloop. This adapter allows me to access the buttstock compartment. This was my first purchase from Blue Force Gear and I will be back for more!
Works just like in the video for tactical carry. Would buy again
Having an original AR-15 A1 I've tried several other butt stock adapters for an adjustable 2 point sling carry. This is the only one that doesn't feel like way too much webbing for a simple, secure conversion. Just perfect.
