    I use an auto center punch. Very easy, haven't had any issues yet.

    But it's probably because you don't put enough rounds down range. They do and will back off if not staked.
    Like pinning a barrel, if it's convenient, I agree it's good to have them staked, but I've found I have far more issues with MIAD screws coming loose than castle nuts. I mean really, is Magpul just having a good laugh when they put that goop on the end of the screw?

    I would be surprised if it was that low. I was just using V7's combo as a springboard and they are at $45. Looks like a lot more machining on this thing though...

    Funny you mention this, just noticed a MIAD grip screw coming lose as well.

    Stake all Castle Nuts, Pin all Gas blocks. There is no reason not to. That's always going to be my philosophy.

    Staking is fast, easy and free, assuming you do it correctly. I've never had or seen a castle nut come loose, that was properly staked. Having said that, as soon as I finish typing someone will state that they've seen hundreds of them come loose.

    This, I think, is a over crowded market, desperate attempt at making money by solving a problem that doesn't exist. I'm started to get jaded on "doo dad's" and "widgets".

    Same, but mostly because it was an excuse to buy a new tool. I've been frustrated by lots of things during a build, but it was never staking the castle nut.

    I'm going to patent a ratchet system for all the screws that go on the AR.

    Nope...

    Price point will be in the $40 range.

    Working on best manufacturing currently but they will be ready and shipping before too long.
