To be clear, everyone, this is a video about staking your end plate into the castle nut, not staking your end plate into your lower receiver.

Now one can observe that mistake and factor in necessary precautions when attempting their own procedure. I learned to just stop and rest after every punch. This video was more valuable than the edited versions that show ONLY perfect results like no failures can occur. I know for a fact that some of these videos avoid showing you several attempts before successful results.

Derek Fightmaster, aka StakeMaster, is one of the very best :) BTW, ESF-H is machined from 4140 steel, we don't heat treat or black nitride them, they're harder than TDP spec 1018 or 1020 mild steel, it should be as it's a QD sling mount, not just an end plate.

I use a good spring loaded center punch to start. Set it to max penetration (giggity). I punch it twice with punch perpendicular. Then I finish it with a center punch with it angled slightly toward the castle nut. I do one blow at a time until I’m satisfied with the hole (giggity). My stakes usually look pretty nice imo.

Hey buddy, don’t stake on center - favor the rifle’s R/H side. Look at your 2nd stake, you have a few mm to spin lefty-loosey and all you need is a few mm to break torque. You want the bulge right up against the R/H flat of the castle but. Nice VDO.
