OK so... I went to the Gun show in AZ a few days ago and I purchased a new Castle Nut for my AR15 because i scratched mine all up trying to install my single point sling adapter.
I was thinking all buffer tube threads (the part that threads into the lower) where the same on all AR's. BUT i took my old Castle Nut off and went to screw on the new Castle Nut and it started to thread on about 2-3 rotations then it would get crooked and stop threading.
So I'm just wondering if there is a difference in Commercial threads vs Mil spec threads. OR could it possibly just be the Castle nut is milled wrong? And i do know the difference with the Butt stocks being different between the 2 spec's but would the threads ALSO be different? Thanks!!

p.s. My gun is a Com spec DPMS buffer/tube
