    Don't be too sure. We have seen 20+ unstaked from the factory at one time, as well as many that would be leakers very early in their life.
    It is such a small task to perform, and so easy to catch at the QC stage of the process that it makes me wonder first off why they don't do it, and second if there is a valid QC process at all.

    It could be a useful Tier 3 gun, but it seems like it depends on marketing rather then doing it right from the start.

    Fortunately, their are other options.

    Plastic,

    I've seen several BMs with loose carrier keys and all of them were issued service rifles of either LE personnel or contractors in Iraq. My issued M4gery in Iraq had the carrier key come loose and our so-called "armorer" didn't even know the fix, but that's another story.

    I've not yet seen a single BM come from the factory with a properly staked carrier key. You should attend one of Pat's classes just to peruse his photo albums of BMs and other low end brands that have defecated in the bedclothes...

    I offered to fix it free for you. "I guess you can lead a horse to water!"

    Shihan, I appreciate the offer. I know several armorers in my area, I'll see if they are able to do it. If not, I'll send it to you. Thank you very much again!
