Complete COLT lower castle nut alignment

Send it back. Buy a S&W, Bushmaster, PSA, DD, etc.. and then you can learn how to do it yourself. Or just leave it until it comes apart and then fix it.

Better off just building your own lower IMO.

Is it just me....


....or is anybody else struggling to find anything wrong with this picture? Looks fine to me...?

I know it’s pretty minor— and I’m nitpicking— but if you look at the outside edges of the castle nut, it is shifted off center with respects to the receiver, end plate, and receiver extension. In the picture you can see the top edge of the nut extends outside, or beyond, the edge of the end plate, while the bottom edge is well inside the edge of the end plate.

Again, i know this may be too minor— but just want to double check on this before i SBR it. I haven’t really noticed anything like this before on any other rifle i have.

Yea i hear the psa comes with a pretty good warranty 😉

The castle nut isn't shifted, as it threads directly onto the receiver extension. What minuscule issue exists, is likely with the end plate.

Shoot, reload, repeat.

Actually it does. But maybe an actual pic of the stakings would be cool? That may be too much to ask though.

The staking doesn’t look like normal Colt Staking to me, anyone else noticed this? Could just be me.

I have held my head in three different positions and I am now standing on my head. I can't see anything wrong.

I don't see anything wrong, maybe I need to clean my glasses?

Staking is fine

Kinda what I was afraid of. It’s small and pretty hard to get to come across through just a pic.. kinda have to look at it in person. But, if there’s a thread full of people saying they can’t see it, I’ll take that as “probably nothing to worry about”
