Unless there's something I'm not seeing, I would have to say yes.
Are the heads knurled? They kind of look like they are. If they are, that staking should be fine since its touching the knurling. If they aren't knurled, I'd say its a little weak.
That staking doesn't look to good but that's just my opinion.
You should check out how colt does theirs.
FWIW, my BCM carrier is staked exactly the same way, which leads me to believe They use the same tool (MOACKS?) to stake all carriers. On mine, the metal is definetly hindering movement. Wouldn't hurt, I guess, to take a punch and meld the two a little better.
Based on this.....

It is fine I think.

Try to turn them out. If they came out easy, it was too little.
Then again, when in doubt...get the MOACKS out. Never hurts to hit again.
Try it for around 5 to 10 rounds.
