So you're upset about proper staking of the buffer tube castle nut at the factory? Wow. The mil-spec monkeys on other forums pitch a tent when they see proper staking from a factory rifle.
All you have to do is take a punch and tap back the staking on the castle nut. Then the castle nut will come off without damaging the buffer tube threads. Then replace the castle nut if necessary. No biggie though. All you need is a buffer tube and castle nut. Standard mil-spec is all you need and is not that expensive.
