Fortis Manufacturing
Overview
The Fortis Castle Nut is a standard type castle nut finished in a hardcoat anodized black, providing durability and a sleek appearance for your AR-15 build. This component securely fastens the buffer tube to the lower receiver, ensuring proper alignment and function of the recoil system. It’s commonly found in builds that feature a mid-length gas system chambered in 5.56 NATO, making it a reliable choice for those configurations.
Builders on GunPartPicker first added the Fortis Castle Nut, Black, Anodized Finish, Mil Spec to a build in February 2026.
Availability is good: it was in stock at one retailer or another nearly every day in August 2026, and today all 4 retailers we track have it in stock. Prices barely moved in August 2026, holding around $11.35, so there haven't been real sales lately. Buying today, the lowest price is $11.35 at Optics Planet, which matches the best price we saw in August.
