How important is it to stake the castle nut?

I just staked both of mine tonight. I would say the majority of research I have done says to stake them. You have two types of metal coming together that just won't hold even with lock tight. I used lock tight on mine originally and so far it is fine but with very few rounds. I guess over time it will come loose. Here is a video which is how I did mine. Super easy. Get an auto punch and it takes like 2 minutes tops. If you don't like the mark it leaves you can touch it up with gun blue no problem. Why risk it when it is this easy? I always thought it would be hard until I saw videos like this and the auto punch tool. Got mine at Menards for $6. Lowe's and Home Depot didn't have them near me.

Thanks for the video jsnake. I actually did it while I was smoking in he garage in both lowers, I couldn't find my auto punch like the one you had so I went the manual labor route.

Looks good Mike! I say since you have Troys on the left one go with Troy on the other.

Are you looking for something with elevation adjustments (RIBZ) or fixed flip?

Do you plan on running optics?

Just fun and games. Will most likely put an adjustable trigger set in it so I can fool around with different pulls. Probably a heavy barrel too. Not sure about the rest yet. I will be doing my own reloads so I think a Dillon 105 will soon be mine as well.
