    All forms of loctite are susceptible to loosening from heat. Staking also allows for 100% visual confirmation that the fastener isn't going anywhere.

    Because staking can be done with a five dollar tool, and easily removed for service.

    I actually noticed that the m4s I used in the military didn't have staked castle nuts. Never really saw them come loose.

    Because we stake them here. Car guys double nut stuff. Race car and plane guys safety wire stuff. You do what you are familiar with (and "works fine") and then berate everyone that does it different.

    One spun off into another that we thought would be benefitial to a wider audience.

    (it started off as an update in the "retard" thread, but the grinder imbecile became a "not everyone should be building" thread)

    the need for to stock wrenches. usually tourquing one nut against the other makes them both move. So you have to turn one nut one way and the other nut gets turned the opposite. tools are expensive enoughand to have to buy 2 and then 2 nuts no. Eugene Stoner knows better then me so ill stick with the way it was designed

    The thread on TOS wasn't referring to 2 castle nuts I don't think, just 2 nuts with the right pitch/thread. A couple wrenches and you'd be GTG.

    I agree that staking is the best and easiest way, but there is more than one way to skin a cat here, no so much on a BCG though. Takes all the fun out of the arguments on that one.
