    More for curiosity sake but does colt use a machine to stake their castle nuts? I ask as looking at the square punch on my OEM is damn near erection inspiring it's so perfect.

    I think Ken Elmore mentioned that it's done either by a machine or an arbor press while the lower is supported in a fancy jig.

    FWIW - I have parts ADD... if you're like that at all, on figure builds check out the PWS EBT Mod 2 or the new Lantac version

    It doesn't look bad. Should work for it's intended purpose.

    I took a 1/32 punch, ground the tip down to a square (used a factory colt stake as a template).

    The stakes I do look like a factory stake from colt. A little bit of cold blue and no one would know the difference.

    I was told by a Colt CS rep that the factory staking is accomplished using a press die.

    Thanks.
    OP, I cannot view your attachments. So long as you have displaced metal to prevent the castle nut from turning, you are gtg.
