A couple of additional tips: 1. If you are installing a receiver plate with a QD mount, double check that you don't put it in backward. The indented ring inside the hole needs to be toward the outside. 2. The full length takedown pin spring can often put too much pressure onto the detent and press it too hard into the groove of the takedown pin, making it very stiff and scratchy. You can cut 1/4 inch off the takedown pin spring and it will actually work better with the reduced compression. 3. Also, the detent pin head and takedown pin groove might need a light sanding with 1000 grit sandpaper, and the groove should be greased, in order to reduce friction even more.

Always put Aero shell grease on the receiver extension (buffer tube) threads and torque the castle nut to 38 foot pounds..Then stake it in two spots..

Take a 4-40 tap when tap hole for the rear take down pin spring hole. Take the spring using wire cutters cut about 1/8'' off spring. Then put in take down pin, detent, spring. Use a 4-40 -1/8 set grub screw and you'll never have to mess with the spring again.

What the fuck? How did you get that asshole spring to go in the fucking hole? I have lost 3 trying to fix this piece of shit, and waisted 20$ ordering new springs. They go in so far, get kinked, then when I touch them, they fly off to another fucking dimension somewhere. Fuck my life, is all I can say. I swear, if I didn't like it so much, I would throw this fucking gun over the fucking mountain.

I twisted my buffer til it was upright and covering the retainer pin properly but when I racked and did a dry fire the retainer pin popped out and into the barrel while the spring got mangled under the bolt. Any idea what it could've been? Too much of a twist or not enough? I was putting on a hellfire kit.. I appreciate any advice and thanks in advance

Sure would have been nice if you’d have addressed the actual buffer and spring. It’s my first time working on an AR, and this was worse than unhelpful. It set me back quite a little while. Being completely uneducated in putting one of these together, I followed your instructions precisely, and was left with the buffer and spring on my bench.

Clint, so I recently built an ar for the first time. I am having an issue. When a round is in the chamber, my CH is really hard to pull back in order to make my rifle safe and unload that round. At first I thought I had an issue with my extractor, I changed it and put a new one in. I shot couple mags with no issues and it cycles just fine. For some reason I cannot rack that charge handle. Any ideas what it could be? It almost feels like it is catching on something. It only does this when a round is in the chamber.

I did exactly this method and staked it in one position. The manual says the torque spec is 38-40ft/lb Mine is probably around 25ft/lb and feels sturdy. Is 38-40 really required for maximum reliability? I just can't imagine it coming loose, especially staked, even under very hard use. Your thoughts? I imagine it's one of those things people overthink about. I guess myself included lol

I've built two rifles and never torqued to disc or staked the cage nut. Get out hand tight then wrench it snug and it'll be fine. If you need reassurance use a silver sharpie and make a coke indexing marks. If it moves then re- tighten and stake if you want to. I saw another comment that suggested loc tite.

@@radjamss6390 there’s a certain distance that the buffer tube is supposed to travel. If you make it travel too far then the detect thing, that is holding in the buffer spring, will now be underneath the buffer tube. Everything is pretty easy to lineup yes. But I guess PSA has a hard time with buffer Springs and buffer tubes sometimes because it was like freaking 3 of them.

Staking is a feel good for people who don't know about proper thread stretch. Watch a video on an engine build. They will torque the connecting rods bolts to, let's say, 60 foot pounds. Then they will check bolt stretch with a gauge. If, let's say, .006 is not achieved, they will add torque until it is. That ensures proper tension on the threads to keep the nut from backing off. And they NEVER stake the nuts. Torque value is also not the end all. Staking the BCG gas tube screws is a good idea. You might not get the torque for proper thread tension on the screws with the small bit you have to use. The bit would break first. That's where staking helps.
