Is that the extra detent in front of the one used to move the stock?
Got it. That actually make sense.

Yes we are talking about the same thing. Mine does nothing. It just snaps in place. It doesn't change the amount of play at all.

^ I think you mean a mil-spec diameter RE and a commercial dimension stock.
OP, I don't know what your budget is but at this point I would just replace the trigger group with either an ALG QMS, an ALG ACT, a Geissele G2S, or if you can find one on a Christmas sale a Geissele SSA. Make sure the RE tube diameter and the stock are both mil-spec. Put in a "H" buffer. Buy some Fireclean, clean your rifle, lube it, and go shoot.
Later you can take a closer look at 1.) The RE (receiver extension) and spring. 2.) The BCG.
That's what I would do if I was in your place.
You may have made a mistake on the stock/buffer tube combo. My advice to you is to confirm the stock and buffer tube are both mil spec. If the stock is not, sell it/maybe swap it at your place of purchase. If you've got to sell, I'd suggest a B5.
Go out and shoot the rifle. The biggest room for improvement is probably the user not the tool. Spending money on things that may not be a problem doesn't make sense to me. You can spend it on ammo, improve yourself, and see with certainty what you like, don't like, and need to improve on the rifle.

I agree. I posted in hopes that some one could tell me if building it would be a waste with the parts in question. If not then I would rather just roll with it and go from there. I'm a "tinkerer" anyway so if it has to come apart later I won't mind. I'll have to look up the dimensions of mil spec vs commercial and get the calipers out and see what I have. I'm not thrilled about the stock anyway so maybe I'll have an excuse to buy one

Well.... I need a new set of pins
The pin was barely in but it was so tight that just a little movement of the upper spun the pivot pin and sheared the detent pin.
Any recommendations on some that aren't such a tight fit?
Also I took my calipers to my RE and found I do have a mild spec. However the internal diameter of the CTR stick indicate it is likely a commercial dimension stock. So off to the interweb. The shop who sold me these clearly did not care that I was getting the wrong stuff.
