I just received my castle nut from Midway and it doesn't have a spot cut out on the backside for staking. From all of pictures I have seen, there is supposed to be a spot for the metal from the plate to fill into the castle nut. Anyone seen this before?

The brand is ATI.

If it's the old style nut then it won't have a recess for staking. If it's the newer castle nut then it should. Send it back.

Yes.

I got one from Brownells but it is a High Standard one.

It was supposed to be ''mil-spec'' but you know how that goes.

Now the ''mil-spec'' is gone from their description and the pics actually show some detail.

It's still sitting in my parts box.  

I'll probably add the missing notches and touch up the blue before I use it.
