ome of the new enhanced sliding buttstocks, NSN 1005-01-544-9825, for the M4/
M4A1 carbines are defective.
It’s easy to spot the bad buttstocks. They are difFcult to install on the M4 or fail to
move smoothly or lock in place when installed.
(Note: These are not the standard
M4 buttstocks.)
If your enhanced sliding buttstock doesn’t exhibit these problems, you’re good
to go. But if you’ve got a bad buttstock, submit a product quality deFciency report
(PQDR). Use the link below.
Your unit will receive credit for the defective buttstock.
•
Select Web PQDR under “Web Based Applications” at the upper
le±t-hand side o± the page.
•
Select EZPQDR under “Important Links.”
•
Select the EZPQDR link under the Army EZPQDR paragraph.
•
Select Accept on the “DOD Warning and Consent Banner” page.
•
Fill in all mandatory felds (“m” indicates a mandatory feld). Be
sure to include the document number, contract number and
cage code 58VQ8. This in±ormation is critical ±or accurate
processing o± the PQDR.
