I have no problem with that method at all. I most definitely prefer to stake my own carrier key screws and I have three carrier key staking tools to prove it, though I would still love to see a threadlocker only test done on a couple of carriers, even if doomed to failure.

The barrel's extension (containing locking lug recesses) is torqued onto the barrel via machine to 150 ft-lbs. When this is done, the barrel is just the barrel, without gas port, etc. After this is done, the 6 and 12 o'clock positions are now determined and the port is reamed. And, even as an employee of Colt, I can't go into the factory with cell phone or camera, so no pics.

That's a bummer. Colt has been the most top secret manufacturer about their assembly procedures. There has never even been a leaked picture of something as simple as their barrel nut wrench, which they don't even use anymore because they use multi thousand dollar machines to install barrels now.
Ken Elmore did describe to me the Colt barrel nut wrench once and it sounded like something that they pulled out of the ark of the covenant.
Sidetrack over I guess.![]()

Just so everyone is aware, they will!!! This is why BCM is as awesome as they are.

Hi,
I recently purchased a used BCM bolt carrier group from a friend. It has around 2000 rounds on it (so I am told). I am curious if I could send it back to you guys to have it inspected before I fire it. How would I do this and how much would it cost?
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
2,000 rounds is really not a lot for a milspec bolt. So long as it has been properly maintained, your bolt will provide many years of service. BCMbolt carrier groups also carry a lifetime workmanship warranty. Should you ever have an issue, please contact us so we can rectify it.
Thanks,

It's better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
