Spring loaded auto. Much easier to control and make it look professional.
My preference as well. I always start with a spring loaded punch even on really hard steel that I will wind up using a hammer and punch on.

The steel ones more or less shear off as well. Sounds like a good excuse to replace it with a better one (steel) from IWC, BCM or Noveske for less $$.And for what its worth if there was one thing I could urge Daniel Defense to change it would be their end plate. They use an aluminum end plate that doesn't stake as well steel end plates. They only stake it in one spot vs 2, and they cover the resulting mark with a paint marker since the aluminum end plate wont take bluing. When I removed the castle nut from my DD the staked aluminum offered no resistance, and because the aluminum stake spot sheared off instead of bending I'm not sure about restaking... and replacements cost $35.00. Yay.
Sounds like you need more lower receiversI don't stake my castle nuts on my carbines because some days they are carbines and some days they are rifles. I'm always swapping furniture around between collapsible sop mod stuff a2 or ace fixed stocks. I do have a couple I'm happy with...maybe I'll stake those...no...better see how they look and feel with a fixed stock first (again). It's like AR Barbie dress up over here. Freaking mountain life has it's perks but it can also be boring as hell.
I have 11 complete ARs,,,but yeah...I still like your logic.Sounds like you need more lower receivers
