Well that is what KAC is using on their SR-15s...
Not mine or any I've seen.
MK18Pilot;
Good photos. My only (and minor) objection would on the one holding the tube. I try to "choke up" in situations like that, and clamp the tube as close as I can to the nut, leaving only clearance for the wrench.
Otherwise, nice pics.
And for those looking to try the heat approach, you have two tasks with heat; break the chemical bond of the fixed thread-locker, and to expand the nut.
Heat the nut and apply penetrating oil. let cool. Heat and repeat. Then, on the third time (or as many as patience permits) heat the nut, and then use compressed air on the inside of the buffer tube, to cool it, and shrink it down from the nut.
The first time I used the patience approach, when I put the wrench on, the nut was so loose I almost hurt myself unscrewing it.
I've broken free some aggressively staked nuts with the three point style wrench.
That would be my choice over a single point style, considering I've broken one of them.
Screwing them on is another story, that's always the easy part.
I have destroyed a receiver extension doing the same thing. I ended up stripping the threads on the tube due to an indiscretion with using loctite. Now I only tighten the castle nut and stake.
