Need some help building second AR15

[charliebrown1999]

Looking to build a 20inch AR15 rifle. Would like to use Aero Precision lower and MOE rifle stock. When connecting the butt stock to the upper receiver, would i need a castle nut and latch plate like I would with a carbine stock???

I stand corrected Charlie Brown

The MOE fixed rifle stock won't need a castle nut but does use the plate as best I can tell looking at mine.

No plate needed?

Rifle buffer tube

Nope. No castle nut or locking plate on a Rifle buffer tube. The stock is compressed by the screw through the rear of the stock in the buffer tube so that the retainer nub on the front of the stock prevents rotation.

Isn't that what the MOE rifle stock, pictured above, mounts on?

Yes. I was not responding to you, but to the OP.

Thank you.
