Just get it tight.

If you want to stake knock yourself out. If you don't it won't hurt anything either unless you are really running the gun hard, then it may come loose but just tighten it back up.

It's definitely ft-lbs, but the above is correct. Despite what you read on gun forums, you won't die if your castle nut isn't torqued with a calibrated torque wrench and staked with a mil-spec approved punch. Odds are you'll never even notice, but Loc-tite is a good alternative if you're really concerned about it and aren't sure about staking.
