I'm trying to tighten my son's Castle nut to 40 ft lbs on his newly build AR.
The buffer tube keeps twisting as I attempt to torque it.
I'm not an octopus and don't have 8 hands to hold everything.
Lower is in a mag vice block. Castle nut is screwed down by hand all the way.
Buffer tube is straight. When I apply the castle nut wrench with my torque wrench set to 40ft lbs...the buffer tube twists clockwise.
Why...and how do I fix it so I can properly torque the nut.
I'm using a pos DPMS WRENCH.
