So did they under fill the stock or has the foam degraded over the years?Found out the small hole in the center of the buttstock tab was for filling the stock with foam during the production and the tiny "straw" was part of the process.

By under filling I mean they did not inject foam until it backed out of the hole....not sure what you mean "underfill" but out of curiosity I did a search for same "D" style buttstock and noticed the same thing in the center of that buttstock tab also.
Ahh, OK that makes sense - can't understand what purpose that "straw" or whatever was meant for. It obviously must have been needed though somehow.By under filling I mean they did not inject foam until it backed out of the hole.
The straw is used to get the foam farther towards the butt stock. It starts expanding as soon as it is no longer restricted by the nozzle or the straw. My guess is they ran out of the can and thought they hand another, by tha time the straw was set in the foam.Ahh, OK that makes sense - can't understand what purpose that "straw" or whatever was meant for.

I remember hating the early AR-15’s for the sound of the buffer spring in the receiver extension inside the hollow stock.Thanks bud...curious how you understand how they did that?
Why's that? Aren't you the one who built it?The 601 has been built to shoot and will be fired following an armorer complete check of everything. The Edgwater Buffer will be used but a standard Milspec Buffer and Spring will be installed also to save additional wear to the original. I'm curious how the recoil of the original compares.
I see someone looking for an Edgewater buffer on one of the gun boards.Yes, I acquired the parts and built the rifle. I am not a gunsmith nor armorer and do not have the tools or experience to confirm the various different parts involved in the build are compatible. For example, I want nothing to compromise an original, very rare Colt 601 upper receiver or the original Edgwater buffer due to anything I overlooked or took for granted.
