This is a really easy installation, using Badger Ridge Industries gas shims from badger-ridge.com/product/shim-pack-450-bushmaster-11-16x24-m14-m-1a-gas-system/. Forget buying expensive castle nut pliers that were designed to spend taxpayer dollars to supply military armorers with an expensive but ridiculously cheaply made tool. Baloney! Don't fall for that wallet shredder! As I will demonstrate, removing the castle nut professionally is easy peasy, easier to do with tools you already have, requiring no pliers at all.
