Cuz my old one was castle nut and the one i got from autozone is not, its just a pressure nut, just want to know if this is as secure as a castle nut type one, and how much should i tighten it ? Just thinking of going to my friends shop and letting the airgun do the work cuz i managed to get it on by hand with rachet but it prolly would not be as tight as it needs to be until i use a air gun on it.</blockquote>
