You'll also have to notch the screw retaining/tightening plate as it should be a full round type. I usually just cut most of the lower half off while leaving the threaded hole intact. It's all pretty easy if you have a Dremel and metal cutting bits. A vise to hold the parts while notching is highly recommended as well.

Alright all sounds good...could I notch the buffer tube itself enough to get the wires in instead of the tube mount or do I have to flatten the tube mount?
and yes the retaining plate inside the buffer tube is the full round type and I already knew I would have to at least make a hole big enough to feed the wires through.
or would this be easier to just buy something like this:
would that just allow me to feed the wires down the channel cut into the buffer tube without having to notch the tube mount?
