This thread made me go over and check my AR with a similar castle nut. My stakes aren't much better so I am going to move some more metal and call it good. I have expensive QD plates so I won't be shooing for pretty this time, only functional. I wasted about $60 trying to get those internet pretty stakes. I use the wasted money stakes to practice my hammer and stake skills on. ****. I am bad at this. I need IG to come to Michigan soon.
