To be honest I don't think staking will do much if anything at all. Nothing beats pinning which is why it's in the TDP. Crane recalled MK12s because set screwed gas blocks shot loose in the field and in combat on direct inpingment guns and Crane pinned them, 'pinned is the way' for gas blocks/FSBs anyone who tells you otherwise should be considered a poor source for information on the AR.............Well maybe MIG welding the gas block to the barrel would be stronger but then it would also be permanent.
