The castle nut is the nut that tightens the buffer tube against the lower receiver. For good information, go to this site which has good photos on what to look for.

So you want to buy an AR-15, huh?

Here is another site, with a few good pics of staked castle nuts.

Well don't look to your bushmaster for the castle nut staking, it doesn't have it done to it either. Also might want to check your gas key, probably not staked correctly either.

I dropped my rifle off at Curt's on a Saturday and it was ready by Tuesday! The gas key was already staked. Curt replaced my gas block to a clamp type and I like it, I think it looks better and he also staked the castle nut.

Curt did a great job at backing up his own work and getting the repairs done promptly. Just wanted to give an update.

Thanks for your replies.

Considering going to pick one of these up as my first AR on friday. Anyone have more info on them? Thoughts opinions? Are the barrels chromed? From what info I can find the components seem fairly decent for the price. Thanks.

Just an FYI: I have a friend with an AR-15 he purchased from Curt and he was having similar issues. The gun simply wouldn't cycle ammo anymore, and it was related to the gas block. He'd tried a wide variety of issues to repair it on his own but had no consistent luck with his repairs. I told him to just go visit Curt, so he did. Apparently for a while there the gas blocks Curt was using to assemble his AR-15's were prone to this problem, and if some one who previously purchased an AR-15 comes back with that problem he'll replace the gasblock.

So he stands behind his work.

I had Curt build an upper for me and he used a clamp style gas block...cycled great for as long as I had it. If he has the time, Curt will put together what you buy from him...I'm a fan of customer service, so I'm a fan of Curt's.
