Most Helpful Positive Review SHINNY Black
I got this for a build where I was wanting to match up the blacks. The ATC castle nut is very black, but was TOO shiny/glossy. So if you want a castle nut that is turely black AND shiny this would be for you.
Most Helpful Negative Review Not Shiny Black
I read the review, and expected a shiny, black castle nut. I received 3 dull, flat black castle nuts. These were on back order for over 3 months, and when they arrived, not even meet the description. They are steel, and work fine, but the color for my guns will not work. Now I have to order from...

Mishaped/out of round

by Jimmy, Verified Owner from IA, United States Written on January 28, 2025
This castle nut would not thread on very easily and it clearly was bent/out of round. Ended up using a different castle nut and it threaded on just fine to the tube without excessive drag and binding like this one did. Not worth dealing with CS for a return since there is a restocking fee & I have to pay to ship it back. Very disappointing.
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • Poor Quality Assurance
