If it's got one small hole, then it's the standard telestock nut, pre 1990 or so. If it was sold as a "castle nut" then the auction listing was in error, but if it was advertised as an "AR-15 collapsible stock nut" or some other description, then it was a legit listing and you just didn't realize what you were bidding on.

Perfectly smooth all around. I am sure it was just missed in QC.

Yup, eBay all right; I bought a buffer tube kit off eBay and I feel your pain. I went to install the kit castle nut and the wrench slots weren't large enough for the wrench, so I had to replace that castle nut with another one. Now I wonder about the long term integrity of the rest of the kit which installed just fine ...

It's an environmentally responsible buffer tube. |

OP, can you drill an indentation for the stock wrench?

I was able to rob a correct castle nut from a pistol lower I have that was sitting in the safe. I contacted the seller and I am getting a new castle nut sent to me. I am going to drill a hole to make this "smooth" nut an older style castle nut that was shown in this thread.
I do have a strap wrench, so I could use it as is if I wanted.

A little red loctite, and the stock would be unremoveable. Hmm. |
