1. Securing the Receiver Extension: The castle nut secures the receiver extension (buffer tube) to the rifle’s receiver. It is threaded onto the end of the buffer tube and tightened against the receiver to ensure a secure connection.
2. Preventing Rotation: Once properly tightened, the castle nut prevents the receiver extension from rotating or coming loose during the firing or handling of the rifle. This is crucial for maintaining the alignment of the buffer tube and the stock, ensuring proper function and stability.
3. Retention of Other Components: In some designs, the castle nut may also retain other components of the buffer tube assembly, such as the end plate or receiver end plate sling adapter.
4. Compatibility: The castle nut is designed to work specifically with the receiver extension and other components of the rifle’s buffer tube assembly. It is manufactured to precise specifications to ensure proper fit and function.
5. Durability: Like other components of the rifle, the castle nut is made from durable steel, ensuring strength and reliability under the stresses of firing and regular use.
6. 1. Selection of Billet:
      • Choose a high-carbon steel billet suitable for knife making.
   2. Heating:
      • Heat the billet in a forge until it reaches the appropriate forging temperature.
   3. Forging:
      • Hammer and shape the billet into the rough shape of a knife blade, forming the edge, tang, and other features.
   4. Shaping:
      • Use grinding and filing to refine the blade shape, create the edge, and add any desired design elements.
   5. Heat Treatment:
      • Harden the blade by heating it to a critical temperature and then quenching it in oil or water. Follow this with tempering to reduce brittleness.
   6. Surface Finishing:
      • Polish the blade to achieve the desired finish and apply any protective coatings.
   7. Inspection:
      • Check the blade for any defects, ensure it meets the required dimensions, and test its sharpness and durability.

   Each of these steps may involve specific techniques and equipment based on the complexity and requirements of the final product.
