It's actually the castle nut on the buffer tube you're referencing, not the buffer. What this means is that metal is displaced from the receiver endplate onto the notches into the castle nut to prevent it from rotating. Some people stake, some people use loctite, and some (like me) just torque it down tight. I haven't run into any issues with just tightening my castle nut up with a good wrench. |
