How to make a rifle come out of the rear bag?

Portektor has a custom bag designed for that rifle where the ears are mover further out. You could also sand down the back of the stock so that it is in the same dimensions as a standard stock. Last off, Savage placed an unnecessarily long barrel on them guns, and the result is the gun is extremely nose heavy, and want to come out of the rear bag.

What size action spring do I need for my AR 15?

Commonly known as a Buffer Spring, the Action Spring is an often neglected and tremendously important part in maintaining a properly cycling AR-15. A Carbine Action Spring, like we’re using with this build should be between 10 1/16 in. and 11 1/4 in. If it falls outside of these parameters it should be replaced, this is it’s go/no-go measurement.

Is the C1 rubber hard?

It is a hard type of rubber but quite flexible compared to the standard A2 plastic buttplate. The door and hinge are both molded pieces and thus has less parts than the A2. It is also much lighter than the A2 buttplate. The quirk here is that the soft rubber of the C1 stock can deform rather easily.

Is it good to tighten the top set screw on a receiver?

Obviously not good. The same can occur when tightening the top set screw that mounts the buttstock to the receiver extension. Again, not good, but here is the caveat : tightening the hardware down to that point is not necessary.
