    Ordered a wrench for the AR

    Just a simple one for that nut on the buffer tube.
    Does anyone use loketite on them or do I just grunt it on?
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    The factories stake it. I just put it on " one crank past snug".
    One of my ARs I keep it hand tight.

    Well I think I will just use your advise. Hand tight + snug.

    you can get close to factory by taking a cold chisel and using the corner to lightly dimple it in a couple of places

    I am not sure about a cold chisel but I do have a punch that would
    work. I am not sure I want to stake it. I think I would rather use loketite.
