[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 1408062, member: 6064"] Since you have been up so long I will keep this short, but what exactly is an "incorrect twist rate"? What is an improperly staked carrier key? I know what the consensus is BUT is that the ONLY way? I can count on one hand the number of loose keys I have seen...admitedly from once again a very small number of rifles/carbines, and in every case they hadn't been staked at all, kind of an oversight at the old Q.C. area of the plant, 3 Colt M-4s and one Armalite. I just haven't seen the amount of failure all this talk about staking seems to indicate. I know of two high end builders that use only the little dimples in 3 places and have never had a problem. One blasphemous guy uses high temp red Loc-Tite and has never had a key come loose even in full auto guns that have seen several barrels. We do agree that you don't work for DPMS though, and they do ship dry. We do agree that you dislike Bushmaster and yet you seem to regurgitate the same old stuff some one told some one who knew a guy who....well we get it. I think no personal experience is involved, although I always thought an "incorrect twist" would get you thrown out of a dance contest! KurtM [/QUOTE]
