    Properly staked BCG?

    Got this off a vendor on here today. Doesn't look that great. Pretty sure it isn't staked correctly looking at my other BCG's. Thoughts?

    I had the same issue with my AR15. They didn't stake it correctly and it walked out during firing. Literally the gas key was hanging loose and causing FTE's, etc.

    From what I can see as long as those allen's don't move it should be fine. It should be more of a equal punch inwards, those look sloppy but functional.

    Should look like this

        California's politicians and unionized government employees are a crime gang that makes the Mexican drug cartels look like a Girl Scout Troop in comparison.

            Looks fine to me.
            The key is displaced into the side of the screw heads.
            That's all it takes.
            There is no advantage to pushing metal up over the top of the screws.

                Agreed. The grip is only really able to be done on the knurled sides of the cap screw, the top don't help.
