Do all AR15 castle nuts have the same width of about 3/8"? I need a shorter castle nut; about 5/16" or 1/4". I have an old Knight's QD sling receiver plate on my AR. It has the old style nut with the holes along the middle of the side of the nut and does not have the castellated cuts of the newer nuts. If I put the castellated nut on the buffer tube the adjustable stock will not catch the last position closest to the receiver. That is why I could use the shorter nut. I could just shorten the stock face that hits the nut, but I would rather not do that.
Does anyone know if such a nut is made?
