Hi I would like to know when the current style castle nut started to appear Thanks 1994 on military M4s - not sure when commercial production was "fully" converted by Colt, since they continue to use "obsolete" military components until they've run out before transitioning to current production (e.g. vinyl acetate stocks on early RO723s, A1 lower forgings on M16A2 Carbines, ect. ect.). Someone with a "ban era" LE carbine might be able to give you a better date on the commercial models. ~Augee |

Thanks Without more details, I'd say absolutely. Bear in mind - the lock ring was most commonly seen associated with two position receiver extensions, while the castle nut with four position. I don't think I can recall off the top of my head having ever seen or heard of a carbine with a lock ring having a four position RET, or a castle nut with a two position RET from the Colt factory. Then again, I could be forgetting a onesie or twosie I saw in the past in passing.
