he is referring to this: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=66&t=527830 thread.
Thank you so much! I thought it might be something normal like that. Now that I know what to look for I see other threads related to this. Seems mine is just staked in a weird spot. |

Yes, no problem. The castle nut is just staked at the factory to prevent the nut from coming loose. They may have even used lock-tite as a backup.
I never stake my castle nuts. I just tighten with a little purple loc-tite. Never a problem so far. Once you remove your castle nut and install a single-point, just re loc-tite and restake if you want. The black paint or dye is just used to make it look pretty. |
