I am at work... S&W M&P Sport (castle nut) Staked???

[bender73]

Do they stake the castle nut from the factory? I want to get a MOE buffer and stock to pin it shorter. Never changed something like this. Can I if it is staked? Not sure if it is. Thanks!

 

[atilla]

probably and probably. just give it a little extra elbow grease, it's not much metal smashed around with the staking.

It shouldn't be staked.

Have you tried moving it with he proper castle nut wrench?

 

[bender73]

I will try, I just happen to be at work and you guys all know everything.

 

[icyclefar]

It is possible they put thread locker on it at the factory.

With the proper wrench and possibly a little heat you shouldn't have much trouble moving it.

Massachusetts sucks. I mean, the friggin stock needs to move for different sized people to enjoy. Not to mention safety. Dumb moronic stupid fools in this sh!thole. (end rant)

i disassembled mine with a castle nut wrench, no sweat

 

[jasons]

Even if it is staked you can still disassemble it. The staking is just to keep it from loosening during normal use, put wrench on it and it'll come loose.

You really only need to back it off enough so that you can twist the tube, so not really a whole lot. Remember the detent spring is gonna wanna pop out when the end plate comes loose.

My sport had a minor stake on it. Was a bitch to get out, even with the AR wrench.

orig sport was staked I don't know about the new one. Also you couldn't use the Buffer tube or stock again as the tube was shorter inside and cemented on.LoL.. Buy a tube and new stock
