    Hell I didn't torque that spanner nut. I didn't even more than hand tighten. Tell me why it matters
    if it will not move?
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    In a world of snowflakes,
    be the heat..

    if you have another complete AR just think of it as a "complete parts set"
    It may also be easier to justify ... or explain to the wife ... or whoever holds the checkbook!

    I have a couple extra complete part sets ... just to be on the safe side

    Give me a break!! Damn there are thousands of do dad add ons I have to buy first. The DPMS kit is on the way
    and I was thinking about buying a single point attachment but 32 inc. shipping was a bit much.

    Without a proper spanner wrench to tighten the castle nut eventually it will let the tube and stock assembly turn. Just because it hasn't yet, doesn't mean it will not. There are low cost wrenches, hell a man can make a fairly simple one one out of 3/16" flat metal stock. Most of the commercial ones come with 3 square teeth to engage the slots in the castle nut but really only one is needed. Tool will look like a big Question Mark ? .

    Yeah I understand all that and will eventually spec it. But it would have to be really loose
    to let the tube turn.

    I ain't even put a boolit in it yet.

    The old adage comes to mind ...

    2 is 1 ... 1 is none.
