[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4087930, member: 5412"] Yes, ^^^^ a common center punch and a light tap with a hammer and it’s a done deal. Doesn’t take much. I built an AR years ago on the cheap because I wanted to know how cheap one could be built. Bought mostly used stuff when DPMS AR’s were selling high dollar during the obummer years. The only thing bought new was a BCG. It came with the gas tube unstaked. So it was left as bought. Have no clue who it was bought from anymore and wanted to see when it would come loose. Thousands of rounds later since that time, it’s still secure. Suspect it was thread locked in place with loc-tite. I would never advocate not staking one knowing how heat and cooling, expansion and contraction can work on mechanical devices. This rifle never got abused nor submitted to extreme heat by sustained fire. It was a range rifle that has shot very well. [/QUOTE]
