Upgrades you need.
With all the talk of Colt and LMT, there are a few things I recommend you do to your AR to bring it "up to par" so to speak. I personally don't own a Colt or LMT, but find these upgrades very necessary for reliability in a SHTF rifle.
1. Properly stake the gas key, and castle nut. 2. Upgrade to a "H" buffer in your stock. 3. Upgrade the extractor to some type of "o-ring" system. 4. Make sure your bolt/BCG is MP tested, & shot peened for strength. 5. Run her wet(no perverted comments).  |

Never thought about staking my castle nut. Is that typical?

An alternative to staking the castle nut for the stock is to use a second nut in series with it as a locknut. I have seen one company (SIG) use a liquid type thread locker on the buffer tube threads but I would not recommend it.
