Ok,
So yesterday I finally got in my Tapco armorer's wrench. So I went downstairs and did two things. First, I finally got my VG6 Gamma mounted. Secondly, I thought I'd "do it right" and torque the castle nut to 40 ft/lb. Well I got the Tapco mounted on my torque wrench and went to it. Never got it to 40, but when I released the wrench "slipped" a little and dinged up the teeth/recesses of the castle nut pretty good . Never had this happen before. Is it possible the nut is too soft? Or, did I just fudge it up?
