What an incredibly awful logo... it's designed to slap anyone who wants reasonable firearms use, and legislation, right in the face, and pretty much turns a lot of would-be supporters away from your channel, before even seeing one second of your content... Could be sad, if you wanted broad support?

I have 3 of those pws castle nuts. Removed and reused them over and over with thousands of rounds and never had a issue, I just check on them once in while and if anything comes up I’ll just use that vibratite.

@ChristianGrest

Food for thought here. Have used these numerous times, but never considered the ratchet possibly wearing out. Have never had any come loose and have re-used them a few times. Great video! Hopefully PWS sees it.

@rsh4599

Ive taken mine off a few times and I checked for wear and there was none. I will continue to inspect it if I ever change the tube again.

@chuckfinley3152

Here I am, having fired thousands of rounds without a problem and I just use a dead blow and a screwdriver to tighten my castle nuts lol

@brianfhorton

Everyone saying that staking is old and dumb and not used in X industry is sorely mistaken.

@CaLiKiDRyaN

Would love a list or video of all the different fluids you use for cleaning, tighting, and lubricating. Also for other special cases like this.

@keres993

I didn't realize castle nut staking isn't permanent! Your wisdom is deeply appreciated. Thank you!

@nobodynoone2500

I know a lot of this stuff seems mundane, but thank you for sharing your experince and knowledge!

@mr.timezone1336

I’ll never get tired of seeing this man’s stakes. They’re so perfect 🙌🏽

@FLCLnaota

I can agree with you 100% about this specific castle nut set up. I was running the pws set up at a project appleseed and after the first day the castle nut had come loose. Tightened it again in the field.

@RedMcCarl

Have you considered doing a intro to gun maintenance series for beginners that includes a introduction to all the tools and such a beginner will need?

Someone is always trying to invent the better mousetrap but simplicity is better.

@michaelangelo6217

I have used the PWS castle nuts on 3 builds. Changed out the buffer tube on one of my lowers and noticed the tooth/pawl had a good amount of wear. During reinstallation I used the same vibra tite vc3 product on the threads as an extra insurance policy. I believe this video is solid advice. YMMV.

@Randy_84

here i am never staking my castle nuts

@steveninaz9576

I was thinking of getting some of these pws ratchet castle nuts, thankfully yesterday I seen your recomend on the echo zulu kits. Thank you Sir.

@lostpyper6973

Damn....I have one that I bought for my first full AR15 build. I wasn't at all familiar with building ARs so I wanted the chance to be able to fix\fidget with it after it was done, in case I did something wrong. I built that thing one spring at a time, slowly buying parts for it over a couple years and I was convinced I'd have to "tune" it after completion. Nope. Runs like an absolute dream and I never did have to tweak a single thing, so I completely forgot about the ratcheting castle nut until this video popped up.

@JohnRambo-zz6gy

I’m not surprised, I had my concerns and never planned on removing mine nor would I have reused for that very concern. I won’t be buying anymore for sure

@Maine307

a 1 and done type of set. well, this one hits home for me, becuase i am using one. I did follow all the rules and install procedures tourqe etc.. and I have not , nor do i , intend to remove any part any time soon.. but, this truly makes sense.. ALSO, thanx for the product name thread locker! i am will be investing into it, not just for my firearms, but a few important machinary things i got going on in my bard. again, awesome video, thank u for the info!
