Need Magpul ASAP adapter installed

[Dawson9a]

I got a Magpul ASAP sling adapter and sling for my birthday and tried to install it myself on my new Colt LE6920MP-B

The castle nut is stacked and I'm unable to get it off. I don't have a bench with a vise yet and have been unable to loosen it with the wrench I have. It has the three prongs but is still slipping off

Are there any gunsmiths in the area that can install this? I wouldn't think it would cost too much to do and I don't want to do any more damage than I've already done. (Nothing major.. Small scratches, etc.)

I've read up in this and tried all the suggestions.... No go.

Thanks guys!

Check out some of the IPs (Industry Partners) listed here, most do gunsmith work and would be glad to give you a quote on the work...as you said, it shouldn't be much. BTW, some give discounts for MDS members, so don't be afraid to ask.

do you have a torch or a heat gun?? I bet its lock tighted on...

Scotts can do it. If the castle Nut needs the staking drilled then a new one will be needed. Basic Labor is $35 for that but can be more expensive if someone loctited it.

Its a Colt so its not loctited unless someone else dinked with it. Colt Stakes the Castle Nut as should be done. Loctite has no place on a receiver extension.

Any info on Scott's?

This is a new Colt.. Straight from the factory. Tried a bit of heat before... No luck.

This should've able to be done while I wait...correct? Shouldn't have to leave it should I?

Thanks guys

Scott's is located in glen burnie. Clandestine is one of their gunsmiths and is very well respected

Navigate to the industry partner section. IIRC

GENERAL > industry partners > firearm dealers > Scott's. and then check the STICKY.

should list exact address and hours and phone numbers

Might want to tell KAC, the last SR-15s I saw, the castle nuts were not staked and they had blue Loctite on the threads.

Colt stakes the castle nuts better than anyone... I've seen them where they deformed around the receiver extension and were a little bit of a pain to get off.

But that's how it should be done, you do NOT want that sucker coming loose.

I haven't seen that but I believe you. Knights used to use non pinned gas blocks at one point as well. Sometimes the stuff some ma ufacturers do makes me shake my head.

ADCOR is really bad, their Gas Manifold is held in with one set screw, for a Piston AR.

Clandestine..... PM sent.... FYI
