Yep - you should be fine!

 

[Vaquero]

Looks solidly staked to me.

 

[Davetex]

Thanks guys. Just makin sure. When I bought it, it was not staked. Factory sent a return label and fixed it ASAP and I got it back today. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks again!!

Looks good to go.

 

[BRevell]

There's a bunch of ways to do it. Looks like they used a staking tool and did it factory-like.

Who is the manufacturer?

Who is the manufacturer?

Dont laugh...DPMS.

 

[cbigclarke]

why would someone laugh? DPMS parts are respected.

Truth be told, there are only a handful of companies that make AR parts. Others just stamp there name on it

I know, but I know some poeple think because it isn't some high end like BCM or soemthing like that it isnt any good. But I am happy with it.

Anyways, what do you guys think about shooting Tul Ammo through your AR's? Ive got alot of PCM, American Eagle, and Independence which is all brass. Im kind of on the fence about the steel though.

 

[cbigclarke]

if your weapon cant shot steel. somethings wrong with your weapon.

Uhhh no, those are NOT properly staked.

Here is yours:

Here are examples of properly staked gas keys:

OP, I hate to be an ass, but I would sell the rifle and buy a colt or BCM, unless you are just shooting a few hundred rounds a year. If you have around 8-900 into your gun, sell it and fork over a couple hundred more and buy a colt or bcm. There is absolutely no question about the build quality.

Shouldnt you be out picking china patterns or something

 

[cbigclarke]

It's just a bolt carrier. he can send it back, or replace the key

 

[dustycorgill]

Ok so now I have two different opinions here. Good to go, and NOT properly staked. Jared I have seen those pics before and that is why I posted up the pic of mine. I didnt think it was staked in far enough. So now I am totally confused.

 

[cbigclarke]

He is an ass. But he is right. Make them fix it

 

[dustycorgill]

Got it. I figured they would have done it properly since it wasn't done at all to begin with. *&****###$$%%%^.....I am about to call them and ask them WTF?

 

[Das Jared]

It's improperly staked, end of story period. It may be "good enough" for some, but in answer to your question, it is not staked properly. I really don't mean to be an ass about it, I am being completely honest and upfront about what I PERSONALLY would do.
