Looks like the bolt that holds the buffer tube came off. You'll need to remove the buttstock, then reassemble the buffer tube. Tighten the bolt with a long phillip's head screwdriver. While I have seen some guns do this over time, it usually requires additional effort for a person trying to disassemble the weapon for it to come completely off. Knowing the quality of Cybergun's current DPMS line, it is possible but highly unlikely this "just happened."

To avoid this "problem" in future, secure your weapon in a lockable gun case. $10 for the case and $4 for a padlock. Its a small price to pay to secure your $200+ weapon.

i dont see a bolt . I studied it for awhile an the part thats attacted to the gun has two outer threads that look like they snap together inside the stock . Then the outer ring on the end of the stock used to tighten but it doesnt anymore it just spins. The threads arent stripped on the stock end though .


EDIT: Wait now i see the bolt inside the gun right?

The bolt may have slipped out into the buttstock.
