I was looking at the pistol buffer tube and noticed that it states "some gunsmithing required",  Can you elaborate on this at all?  From the look of the tube, it doesn't appear to use a castle nut either.  Is this correct?

Thanks in advance.

I just got mine in and it does not come with a castle nut but doesnt need one.  If you use any other sling plate but the Magpul ASAP plate you will have to use a dremel tool to cut down the little piece sticking up in the center of the bottom portion of the plate.  If you use the Magpul plate you just screw in the tube with the plate on and it fits great.

Thanks, that answers my question completely.
