If you use your google-foo, and search for Adam Arms PDW 7.5" they actually have what they call the AR15FIX kit to retrofit to their design. The piston is of a one piece design. Actually, Guns and Weapons for LEO has it on it's cover for this month.

Alright, I will search for a castle nut now LOL.

If you haven't settled on the Mapul offering, you might consider this from Noveske.

yeah i actually just bought the ASAP today, and I didn't know about the Noveske, but it's a very nice design that is low profile, wouldn't hang up on anything etc...i may end up buying it too and saving the ASAP for a later build

I'll post a complete compilation of the build process for the lower once I get the LPK in this weekend. PS. if there are any typos contribute it to Coors Light

Cheers ya'll.

Ford out.

Hahah, wow, well I feel better today after work LOL. Now I still have to find a castle nut, my buffer tube, buffer and spring came in today...LPK will be in tomorrow or monday...and I'll take step by step pics

So...does anyone know where I can purchase a Castle nut for the buttstock? I searched Brownells, etc. but they don't have anything listed as a castle nut for the buttstock.

Try Garrison Manufacturing. He might have some laying around.

roger that, thanks Hairy78...I actually found them an hour ago on Brownells listed as a Buttstock retaining screw...wtf, it's not a damn screw hahah it's a lock nut

btw, does anyone know how far I should screw the Buffer tube into the lower before I crank down said lock nut? I know that the buffer retaining pin sticks up and that it must have clearance so that you can take it in and out, so how close do I actually have to get the threaded end of the tube to the hole in the receiver to be right

Are you sure you got a castle nut? Your description of a buttstock retaining screw sounds a lot like the screw that would hold an A2 stock onto the receiver extension. (Who knows how Brownells names things though.)

Anyway, the receiver extension just screws in enough to capture the buffer retaining pin. The pin is under tension from a spring, so you basically push the pin in and screw in the receiver extension until the pin is captured and the receiver extension is in the correct orientation. You cannot remove the pin with the buffer installed but you should be able to depress it in order to remove the buffer.
