    I got mine the other day and wanted to put it on my Sr15 but I cannot get the castle nut loose so I put in on one of my other lowers. Now just to get to the range and try it out.

    I believe that KAC puts Loc-Tite on there so you will have to apply low heat and loosen it first.

    They didn't loctite any of the three that I have owned.

    I think someone else reported it or had it happen.

    FWIW, I have had good results using acetone to loosen up Loctite. That was on the blue loctite and if recall correctly that is what Loctite recommends.

    From what I understand, and witnessed on my SR-15, is that all of the regular 16'' SR-15's of recent production do not have loctite. If I remember right, only a certain run of some type had the loctite. My castle nut was torqued properly, very tight and required a little muscle to get it to break loose and then turned freely. I could see how someone might think it had loctite. I bet that it does not.
