I saw one where the pin ended up inside the buffer tube with
the buffer. How it got in there I still don't know, I mean I know but I didn't think it possible. It wasn't due to a loose castle nut but a standard A1/2 extention and a lower with hogged out (bent out foward) detent hole.
I always joke about my castle nuts not being staked, but then half my gas keys aren't staked either. ;)
