This guide details the process of staking AR-15 carrier key screws, a critical step for preventing loosening under operational stress. It covers historical staking methods, modern techniques like OCKS, and specific torque values for different generations. The instruction emphasizes the importance of proper staking for reliability, drawing on historical military technical manuals.

This technical tip from School of the American Rifle addresses a potential compatibility issue between LMT Enhanced Carriers and the Ned Christensen MOACKS Staking Tool. Due to the LMT carrier's partial rails, it can rock during staking, causing damage to the tool. The solution involves inserting a 0.020-inch thick shim into the carrier to provide necessary support and prevent tool damage.

This video provides a detailed, expert-level inspection of a Sons of Liberty Gunworks Bolt Carrier Group (BCG). The instructor, a certified Sons of Liberty armoror, walks through numerous tests including gas ring functionality, bolt component integrity, dimensional checks with gauges, magnetic particle inspection, and a critical magazine binding test. The analysis emphasizes the importance of these checks for reliability and longevity, highlighting specific features like the five-coil extractor spring and chrome silicone ejector spring.

This video provides a detailed inspection of three Expo Arms chrome AR-15 bolt carrier groups (BCGs). The instructor performs a series of tests, including checking for proper staking, measuring dimensions like carrier length and bolt protrusion, and inspecting critical components like extractors and firing pin holes. Minor issues such as slightly undersized extractor pockets and a misaligned carrier key are identified, with recommendations for correction. The overall assessment highlights the quality of the BCGs, particularly their internal finish and staking.
