The LBE Unlimited ARCNUT Castle Nut delivers enhanced torque retention and simplified installation for AR-15 buffer tube assemblies. This precision-machined component eliminates the need for staking while providing secure attachment through its innovative design.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard castle nuts that require staking to prevent loosening, the ARCNUT features an integrated retention system that maintains proper torque without permanent modification to the receiver. The 4140 steel construction provides superior strength compared to standard mil-spec castle nuts, while the black phosphate finish offers corrosion resistance and reduces glare. This design allows for easy removal and reinstallation without compromising security.
Key Features
- 4140 steel construction for enhanced durability and strength
- Black phosphate finish resists corrosion and wear
- No-stake design prevents receiver damage during installation
- Standard AR-15/M4 buffer tube threading compatibility
- Integrated retention system maintains proper torque
