I'm replacing the receiver end plate with a sling mount and want to make sure I get it tightened down appropriately. What does RRA torque the buffer tube castle nut to at the factory? Also, does RRA recommend the use of any type of loctite to make sure it stays put? thanks, Dan |

We use a little blue (removable) Loc-Tite on the area of thread behind the receiver where the nut will run across it and pick a little up to run it into the threads on the extension without getting any into the threaded portion of it that would go into (or allow it to seep into) the receiver. This is standard on our civilian and LE rifles. On our military rifles, we stake the nut and do not use the Loc-Tite. Using the proper CAR stock wrench (such as our AR0165 model) you'll just take the nut tight against the back of the receiver end plate. There's no provision for putting a torque wrench on that spanner wrench. Steve/RRA |
