Tack-weld? :)

I think I may go ahead and have it staked. With the more frequent use of it, and constantly being slung/unslung and switching side for bldg clearing, I think the added pressure and demands of work on a patrol carbine would call for a staking. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Well, I supposed I could lose the time of jacking with it trying to take it apart..but I know people.

I'm about to install a Magpul ASAP on my new LMT and I'm curious whether or not to stake it the castle nut. Currently my rifle is setup like that, but some people in know have said they just use blue loctite. My concern is that for the average shooter that may be fine. But if I'm running mine through the paces of Patrol Rifle schools, qualifications, and getting banged around in my car, would I run the risk of it backing out down the buffer tube over time?

I'm leaning towards doing it because what does it hurt? But I've heard it's a pain to get off.
