What is the proper way to do this? Pictures, videos and diagrams would be great! Thanks, Mike |
| The easiest way I have found to stake the castle nut is with an automatic center punch that you should be able to get a most any hardware store. You simply put the punch on the edge of the receiver end plate where there is a depression in the castle nut and press the punch to deform the metal of the end plate. Takes about a minute to do.

HTH Cool thanks! Now just curious, whats a good armors wrench that will fit on a mil-spec castle nut? Something thats a high-quality unit, not a piece of junk. |

I just received a DPMS wrench from PK Firearms. It seems to be great quality. Also, when asking about tools before on this site, I was referred to get on that has free float pegs that are inset and made of steel, not just cast as part of the wrench. The DPMS wrench has the insets of steel.
Just my .02 Couldn't tell you if it is mil-spec |
