| I have an un staked castle nut that every so often comes loose. Will loctite fix this? If so how much should I use? Thanks. |

Torque it to spec...then stake it with a punch (do not use loctite). It's caveman simple!  Quoted:

Torque to spec, then apply stake. The previous marks will usually not line up. This. Where the notches are in the castle nut will dictate where you will stake it. I use a spring loaded center punch, just push metal into the recess in the nut. All it needs is enough it won't vibrate loose. You don't need to make it super tight either, I just use one of those little wrenches with the 1911 bushing wrench on one end and car stock spanner on the other. The reason not to use loctite is that I did once and when I decided to change stocks the tube turned with the nut and the locating tab on the end plate FUBARed the tube threads. |
