Is the castle nut sealed on by something b/c I can not get it off. I have put it in a vise but I don't want to tighten it down to much and I can not get that nut to budge. It is a RRA. Any help? |

It may have a dab of locktite on it....not sure if RRA does that or not though
Make sure to put a little lube on the threads and let it slide down behind the castle nut. This may make it easier, and will help prevent cross-threading......don't ask me how I know about cross-threading it |

What castle nut? You mean the "Barrel nut"? You don't want to put that in a vice you'll fuck it up , it takes a wrench and may be locktited. You don't need to take it off (the barrel) unless yer changing it no need for cleaning.You'll need a receiver clamp to put it in a vice also. |

And OH YES RRA uses red loctite on those. Its loads of fun to break loose. Do you have the stock wrench for it? |

If RRA uese red your best bet is a propane tourch. Heat up the nut untill you smell the loctite burn off.
Yeah that. I have a RRA and just opted for a MI adaptor that slips over the castle nut and tightens around it. works great and took all of about 30 seonds to install. J- |

Is this the MI adaptor you are talking about ? The MCTAR-14(first one pictured) ? http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=97 Sure is, I have the MCTAR-13 however as I use HK Clips on my sling and originally set it up for a single point. J- |
