The buttstock keeps sliding up when I shoot. You can shoulder the rifle and pull it hard against your shoulder and it slides. The pin that fits into the holes on the buffer tube isn't going deep enough into the holes to keep it in place. Is there an easy fix for this?

Bullseyetony... The only thing I can think of... measure the diameters of the holes in the buffer tube & the latch pin to see if they're compatible. The holes might be too small or the pin too large. Is there paint on the pin? I recall, in the Photo Gallery page, you said you painted the buttstock.I refuse to be victimized by notions of virtuous behavior.

The pin fits the hole and theres no paint on it.

Something looks stuck in your picture above. The little oval with the cross-pin visible on the left. Every adjustable stock I have with a similar arrangement has that cross pin at the TOP of the oval when the locking pin is in a hole on the buffer tube.
Try pulling it off the tube, does it go to the top? If so there is likely a size difference between the locking pin and the position holes on the tube. If it still doesn't go up then maybe an assembly or binding issue with that locking mechanism.
Edit:
One other thought, does that model stock have some sort of locking mechanism intended to hold the adjusting lever open or closed? When all else fails read the instructions.Last edited by FRB6.5; 05-15-2020, 04:51 PM.
