First, use a tiny dab of grease on the rear of the tube threads, and spin the castle nut into place (hand tight). Some castle nuts may not show threads through the stake hole, so back it off slightly, so Loctite can seep into the threads. Then, just add 1 drop of Blue Loctite in a square staking hole. Finally, torque the castle nut to 35-40ft-lbs. Been doing this for 30 years. I've never had a castle nut come loose. I've always been able to remove them with a wrench. And, I've never had to replace a castle nut. Staking simply isn't necessary.

Derek Fightmaster, aka StakeMaster, is one of the very best :) BTW, ESF-H is machined from 4140 steel, we don't heat treat or black nitride them, they're harder than TDP spec 1018 or 1020 mild steel, it should be as it's a QD sling mount, not just an end plate.

Hey buddy, don’t stake on center - favor the rifle’s R/H side. Look at your 2nd stake, you have a few mm to spin lefty-loosey and all you need is a few mm to break torque. You want the bulge right up against the R/H flat of the castle but. Nice VDO.
