I've had the sopmod and tube in hand for 2 months now, while my ar has been back home in MI, finally my mom mailed it and

If the nut wont thread on, then your tube wont screw into your receiver, they should all be the same size and thread pattern.

Check some of the local shops, AZEX, AZ armory.

I've tried Arizona tactical firearms, and they told me it should be fine... and i cant see if it will scrwew into my reciever because my RRA
stock wrench is out of spec and does not atttach right to the damn castle nut...

If my LMT buffer tube is out of spec or something, that will suck because i ordered it a month ago from quantico tactical and Havn't
had the chance to put it on my ar until today. I doubt they would take it back.

This is not cool.

If there is something wrong with the receiver extension, LMT will take care of you.

Well, LMT told me to mail it back to them, but tomorrow before I ship it off, I'll go down to cavarms and see if another castle nut will wor, though i doubt it will.
Now i have to wait another week plus to sopmod it up :evil:   Oh well, atleast its being taken care of. The threading on it does look somewhat weird, I was iffy
on it when i originally got it but I didn't have anything to compare it to at the time as my ar was 3k miles away.

If you can't get the old nut off how do you know it doesn't work?

I would suspect that it was staked and that is interfering with it threading on. Be sure to mention airsoft around cavarms, they love this game  :lol: .

Because I was at ATF and they took the stock off, and the castlenut would not fit on my LMT buffer tube. And my stock wrench is out of spec by like half a damn mm...

Glad you got it settled.  I figured it was the nut, not the LMT tube.  While no brand is perfect, LMT seems to have as good of a QA/QC staff as any.

I guess it pays to be a little mechanically inclined sometimes. :lol:

Make sure to use a bit of anti-seize compound on the threads and stake the castellated nut!
