Yes it is staked (damn you colt). There are no pins holding the nut and plate together, they are just "punched" so the metal from the plate is binding into the groove on the receiver end of the castle nut. This is the reason you cannot unscrew the castle nut. I'll try my best to show you what to do but I cannot find the old castle nut from the post ban buffer assm. Try this anyway. get out your dremel with the abrasive cutting wheel (not the sanding disk). go slowly unless you trust your steady hands as to not scratch your receiver.

I did this on two sides so as to splice the nut off. one cut at about 9 o'clock and the other at about 3 o'clock, both cuts from one end of the castle nut to the staked part on the plate. Once you do that you can physically use a flat head screwdriver and pry the two pieces of the castle nut apart ( enough to remove it).

The splice you want to make is literally from the notch on the left of the castle nut straight (actually diagonally) to the notch on the right of the nut (this is where a stake on the factory plate would have been). and do the same for the other side.
Try this and let us know how it goes. I'm sure you don't care about the fixed buffer tube now that you have a tele stock so you shouldn't worry about scratching that up. You want to dremel ALL THE WAY from one end to the other, But when you start getting close to the receiver, just go slow, take a break if you need to, little by little. Pry with the flat head screwdriver by sticking it in the cut and twisting the handle clockwise/counter. If the nut doesn't separate then dremel a little more. good luck. Sorry I didn't have detailed pics.
