How does your gas tube look inside the upper receiver?

Gas keys will dent like that when dropped on a concrete floor. Sometimes the dent causes a malfunction if it doesn't seal properly around the gas tube. If the BCG moves smoothly in and out of battery it will probably be fine. You are going to have to test fire it to see. David

I'll second that it looks like someone dropped it. Your pic hosting site is full of fail and AIDS. Next time use postimage.org |

You can reform it with a punch that has a large enough cone or take the edge off with a round file.
It does not look deep enough to cause a problem, but if the gas tube were to catch on it the tube could be damaged. |
