unforgiven Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 http://www.ar15.com/content/manuals/TM9-1005-319-23.pdf Saw 35-39 ft. lbs. w/tool & torque wrench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerken70 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 reading through the above manual it should be 40 in lbs and staked, the 35 to 39 ft lbs is for a rifle length buffer. this is all in section 3-16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Cool!Thanks guys!How necessary is the staking of that nut?Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 How necessary is the staking of that nut?JonI stake all mine. Never been in the situation with one NOT staked and it coming loose ('cause they're all staked), but I've read of the coming loose, on de internetz.

planeflyer21 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Anyone used Loctite?Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Fcuk no. Never. And don't. I bought a used lower at a gunshow, and the asshead used loctite on the castle nut. Not only was it a complete bitch to get the receiver extension off, the fucker used too much loc-tite, and the poop seeped down the threading, right into the buffer retainer - locking that sum'bitch SOLIDLY in place. I had to drill that thing out. WHILE using heat. Don't do it, man. It's too damn easy to stake it. Pick up an automatic centerpunch from Harbor Freight, and use that to peen the metal into the grooves - that works wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNP Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 We came up with toms perfect property. He needs to own a good chunk of land with a race track and a bike shop on one side and a gun range with an full custom shop on the other side. Throw a steak house and a brothel in the middle and you've found paradise. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
