unless they were made from chinese bumper steel that u paid $1.99 for at the fun-and-knife-show... that probably not the stocks fault - but more likely a poorly tuned system (overgased / oversize gas port) running on much too light of a buffer to cause that.
i bet its safe to say that your buffer/bcg was bottoming out in the buffer tube every time you pulled the trigger. it'd almost have to have been to damage the adjuster pin like that, no less twice.
going to the A2 stock gives you an extra couple ounces over the standard carbine (3oz buffer) because of the rifle (5.2oz) length buffer they use to make up for the extra length of the buffer extension.
to counter it.. try throw some weight in the buffer tube - like a H3 (5.4oz) buffer or an all tungsten XH carbine buffer (8.5oz - which is the weight big-bore ar's are recommended to have in them with a 6 position/carbine style stock), or add a CCWS from hoot into your bcg - and i bet you'd have a completely different experience.
you can also up-weight your carbine buffer by replacing the weights with a set of these - just knock the roll pin out, take the steel weights out and replace with all three of these tungsten ones. thats all the difference between a carbine and a H3 is - 3 tungsten weights instead of 3 steel. a H1 = 1 tungsten / 2 steel. H2 = two tungsten / 1steel
https://pur-tungsten.com/product/tungst ... r-weights/ you could also use one of the stocks like the Magpul CTR, ACS or STR, that has a friction based position lock on it to help ease any strain on the adjuster pin. They're more designed to help with stock wiggle during usage and give a really nice feel to an AR in that respect but it sure has to give some extra relief to the adjuster pin too. thats not going to fix a buffer bottoming out on you - but it'll help save your stock anyway.
the other issue is.. if your buffer IS bottoming out enough to destroy stocks like that.. you're also beating up your receiver extension as well as stressing the threads on the lower receiver where the extension goes into. so you're going to want to address that issue either way, for the longevity of your firearm.
not to mention that you'll have a much more enjoyable trigger pulling expierence when that buffer/bcg isnt slamming into your shoulder ever time you squeeze.
