I have seen on here that having a staked castle nut is "a must"...why is it so important or even superior to a thread lock (ie loctite)?
Since people more in the know than me have already said it I won't say what i look for.....
But I will say WHERE to look and for someone like me not in the industry that place has been here. This sight has been my firearms bible and I learn something new almost every day.
Thanx.
Lactate degrades with heat, not that is much of an issue with a receiver extension. However, the mil-spec assembly process listed in the technical manual states the castle nut should be staked. The version I have actually says it should be staked in two places.
I think locktite is better than nothing, but staking has much more of a hold than locktite. The end plate is a cheap disposable part, and how often are you really taking it off and on?

That's all I would look for personally
That make sense, thanks for the info. Another piece of info to put in my memory bank!
