I purchased a Magpul ASAP sling plate and I think I have everything tightened down properly, but the extention on the back interferes with my stock wrench. I want to stake it, but I'm concerned that if I want to remove it later, that I won't be able to get a tool on the castle nut good enough to torque through the staking.
Is there a tool with a lower profile I can use for this purpose that the sling plate won't get in the way of? Or am I doing something wrong in the installation? Thanksin advance for the help. And hope this is the appropriate forum for this question. |
| The lugs face the rear. But the extension on the sling plate still gets in the way of my stock wrench. No so bad that I can't get it tightened on, but I doubt I could get enough grip/ movement on the castle nut to get it off if staked (when the lugs rotate to the bottom, I can't get to them with the stock wrench). |

I had the same problem with mine.
I ended up gouging my tube because of this. useing this type (not exactly this one) : http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/LargeImage.aspx?sku=77207 which made it very difficult to tighten (due to the thinckness on the tool) resulting slippage causeing gouge. I ended up useing this (again not this one): http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/LargeImage.aspx?sku=3-1024271 useing this I had alot more "bite" and control when torquein' down before the stake due to being slimmer and smaller over. Disclaimer: just used this site for refrence as I got my tools from another sorce. |
