Now I just have to make a tool to be able to tighten the stock. This nut is unique and nothing I have works.

Find a socket the same diameter and grind the end of it so you end up 2 fingers that fit the nut.
Or just buy a spanner nut socket..lol

It has to screw past that insert which is fairly close in diameter. I haven’t seen a spanner nut socket anywhere close to the shape or size I need. I may just have to go buy a cheap socket and start grinding.
