Are you looking for something with an entirely different method of securing the receiver extension or just a cosmetically interesting castle nut/end plate? I can't really thing of anything that would fit in the former category. If you just want a cool looking castle nut check out Strike Industries. PWS makes a ratcheting castle nut/end plate system that is very interesting but cosmetically it looks a lot like a standard one.

Just cosmetic difference. I thought I had seen one before that had flats then almost a cone down to the tube. Looked sharp as it was coated a color. Just can't remember where I saw it.

I have a couple folding stock adapters that came with their own castle nuts. The nuts are like a standard nut but not as wide, about half as wide. I ended up using two of them together on one AR buffer tube rather than just using them separatly. With the two together it ends up looking like a regular castle nut in width except there is no need to stake the nuts because the tension between the two nuts locks them in place.
I think the concept of two slimmer castle nuts locked together is a great idea, certainly an improvement over one nut that can come loose or needs staking. I would like to see a two nut system  replace the single nut that needs staked.

Strike Ind has these.
PWS has a ratchet system nut. I know nothing about either. And fwiw, I recall seeing something along the lines of what you describe. No idea where tho. |

The original carbines had a smooth nut w/ a single blind hole in it to tighten and loosen. Folks in the Retro forum can tell you where to find them.

Those wrenches are $7. I have like 87 of them. The tail on the standard AR armorer's wrench will tighten them.

I suspect that with a 450 BM, he won't be using the standard "charging handle to the lip" cheek weld.

Thanks for the replies. Yea this is more for looks and I have a habit of finding any sharp edge on a rifle. This is a deer gun. I am looking for a little wow factor when I break it out at deer camp. The one I said I saw was so clean and smooth it just melted in with the rifle.

I could swear I've seen what you're talking about - it was a tapered nut with a pretty smooth finish - but I can't find anything like it anywhere. Maybe it was a proprietary stock setup or someone's fancy one-off thing.
Maybe something like this would work? Kinda pricy if you ask me, but looks cool. http://www.tacticallink.com/Z-360-Sling-Mount-GEN-2.html |
