We have also used a laser mounted to the flattop to a good idea if something is canted or not.

What else might be interesting to know is, once you torqued the screws down properly (w/o using the Rocksett) and applied good stakes, then remove the screws and see how much torque it takes to remove a properly staked screw.
The addition of the Rocksett is an extra measure to ensure retention, but most people just get by with torquing properly and staking. I've always wondered how much of a contribution the staking adds above the friction from the torquing.
I have actually done this on other guns. If the staking is robust, then it is nearly impossible to get the screws out.
I like to use a TINY bit of rocksett just to gurantee that nothing is coming out, but believe that it is not needed if proper torque values are used and is staked.

What was the assembly date of these?
It's unfortunate you have to devote your own money and labor to make these weapons suitable for their intended purpose. But it shows a genuine concern for your customers and their well-being that you take the time to do so. That really is above-and-beyond customer service.
And contribute to the disease that BM is just as good as "..insert quality brand.." ;)
However with the caveat that you do this kind of work their assessment of BM being just as good isn't too far off. Certainly should be something they are doing on their own. Great service on your part.
+1 for your knowledge, making the product right and standing behind your work.
The irony here is someone will buy that gun, see everything done right, and then the belieff it needs no upgrades becomes re-enforced. Said person will then go on TOS, and argue how their BM came "correct".
If you had parkerized under the FSB, you would have really caused some confusion.
