I just bought a Ruger AR-556 MPR, a new AR-15 Ruger just released. Please see the photos below and tell me if this is normal commercial AR-15 gas key screw staking? I don't expect mil-spec like Colt M4s, but it doesn't even look like the screws are staked at all.

Is it a Colt BCG, no. Is it really an issue? I don't think so, at all.
Guys obsess about crap like this but buy dog shit ammo and never actually shoot. The priority list is upside down.
What is your anticipated firing schedule like?

Dogshit internet fail; double post.

Um.. I don't believe I ever talked about what kind of ammo I buy. Are you confusing me for someone else on the forums?Originally Posted by bp7178

About the worst Ive seen. NO, that isnt correct.
The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.

Can't argue with that. Pretty woeful.

Sigh.. Guess I need to call Ruger in the morning. You'd expect a reputable major firearm manufacturer to properly produce a rifle...

Can a BCG be manually staked or is the metal too hard to do it by hand?

It looks OK to me. Just a different tool used to do it than most of us have seened.

It can be done "by hand".
I'll add; while the BCG pictured dos not appear to be aggressively staked, it may by adequate.
Obviously "staking" is done to prevent the bolts from backing out. If the staking on your BCG flows into the knurling of bolts it should prevent the bolts from backing out.
Your photo does not show rather or not this is the case.
I have seen BCG's that have superficial, or "fake" staking that will not prevent bolts from loosening.
