How Much Bolt Carrier Staking Is Enough?

I can't believe this has two pages of posts.

Punch + hammer + vise.

This shit isn't rocket science.

Oh my God... You called that!! In the time that takes for Jake I could do probably 3 and field stake 5 gas keys.
Now on topic if not comfortable with job done to it, field staking will work too. Not a big job center punch and light ballpeen hammer. I don't have to replace to many to buy a tool for a one every 10 year job, I've had to replace 2 since 1988. At that rate I can buy a new bolt carrier. The one I have done is a unicorn bolt carrier though.

What are you using at SIONICS? Some fixture with hydraulic press, MOACKS, or something else? Just wondering what pros are actually using out of curiosity.

There are very good reasons we partner with Sionics to produce our SBCG
