    What happened to the top of that carrier key. Looks like a beaver was gnawing on it...
    The best way to survive a violent encounter is to be the one inflicting the most violence.

    I don't know that I could be that critical based on a photo that doesn't clearly tell the story, nor work I can hold in my hand. Yes, the other photo shows pretty staking, but based on who you talk to, that is too far the other direction, albeit a harmless one, wasted effort nonetheless.

    Seriously, of the people going on and on about staking gas key bolts, maybe two speak from experience and share this opinion. One really has to wonder, with the volumes of people going on about staking, do they also safety wire every attachment per armorer recommendations? You don't see much of that going on and the purpose is a life safety issue. Tired of people standing on that rock when they don't or can't explain why something is done. Dogma is why.
    There's no "Team" in F**K YOU!

    Granted our keys aren't staked as severely as the one you pictured - which I would consider to be far beyond what's required to keep a screw from backing out - they are staked and staked well. In the thousands of carriers we've sold over the years we've never had a customer come to us complaining that their gas key screws have backed out, at least not in the 2 + years i've been with the company. The screws do not required half of the gas key to be pushed into and over the screws to mechanically lock it.

    The picture the other guy posted is a bit of an illusion. From the top pic the right hand side doesn't seem to be as severe as the left but from the bottom 3/4 view picture you can see that it is indeed pushing into the key screw.

    Here are two randoms I pulled out of inventory. First pic from the left side on the Nitride the right doesn't look to be staked. But from the 2nd pic you can see that it's fine.
