I strongly believe so, but I can't definitively say yes.
Also-- according to Brownell's Q&A, the socket is threaded into a 1/2" hole that you thread with a 9/16"-18 tap. The socket is .503" long, so it should fit your buttplate fine (I think). You need to measure thickness just to be sure though. Once you had one in hand, it might be that you could shorten the socket a tiny bit too.Last edited by Variable; 09-10-2014, 03:37 AM.Life member NRA, SAF, GOA, WVSRPA (and VFW). Also member WVCDL.

I love it! The rubber jaws are perfect for working with my ARs and being able to operate it with my foot comes in handy when working alone.
Maybe not the most static mount though."Those who sacrifice liberty for security, deserve neither." Benjamin Franklin

I notice your flash hider is 5/8 x 24. That is not the standard alexander arms 9/16 -24 thread pitch design. when you ordered your barrel from PF did it come with that thread pitch? Do you have to choose it as an option. When I got my liberty barrel, I bought a cheap flash 5.56 birdcage and drilled and tapped it to 9/16-24.

The industry has a pretty well standardized on the 5/8x24 twist for calibers 6.5mm and larger."Those who sacrifice liberty for security, deserve neither." Benjamin Franklin

I guess I'll call my gunsmith and see if he can just drill one."Those who sacrifice liberty for security, deserve neither." Benjamin Franklin

Just put a "jamb nut" over the top of the socket after you thread it into your butt. It should work fine I'd think?
Have you looked at the socket to see if there is extra meat you can grind off of the back also?Life member NRA, SAF, GOA, WVSRPA (and VFW). Also member WVCDL. Join NOW!!!!!

Bwaaahahahahaa! You're funny!
I don't have the socket in my hand to look at, but you do---- It's basically a barrel with a smooth bore, threaded exterior, and a race milled into the interior, right? Is the race in the center of the .503" long barrel? It looks like it'd actually be located towards the front end. Right? If you grind material off the back end, it shouldn't interfere with anything should it?
If so, then just grind it down a bit. Measuring with a Mk 1 thumbnail on an iPad screen seems to indicate you could take some off the back without hurting anything. The limit to how much you could remove is the depth to which the swivel plug would reach inside the socket. The swivel plug itself may even be a little grind-able for it's tip penetration depth, but I don't know how they did their ball detent inside, so I couldn't say that for sure without deconstructing one.
If you didn't grind down the socket length and instead used a jamb nut--- Yes, it'd be a very heavy weight (LOL), but for aesthetic purposes it'd cover the protruding threads.Life member NRA, SAF, GOA, WVSRPA (and VFW). Also member WVCDL. Join NOW!!!!!
