Just got my Sabre upper and took some picks, but not sure if the staking is done right...seems a little weak...
Also how do I tell if the B&C are really Sabre items and not cheap junk that the distributor stuck in there? http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b151/01ArcticSS/isthisright.jpg |

Quoted:
If the metal from the gas key is making good contact with the bolt head to the point that it prevents the bolt head from backing out on it's own, then it is staked properly. I have seen them staked deeper, but often unnecessarily deep. I'm about to take it apart again...I guess I just glanced at it - was in a hurry to get some pics before dashing out to try to find a rail mount rear sight...should have just stayed home!! Then today I went to Bass Pro and the salesdude there told me flat out that "the CEO" of Bass Pro won't sell anything to do with an AR15 because its a "tactical" firearm, not a sporting firearm. I got a bit loud and obnoxious with the guy, pointed at a pistol and said "Yeah, well you sell this here Sig pistol with a tactical rail on it, on which you can mount a laser or a tactical light." 
He didn't get the irony... Anyway, I'll get some better pics up here...it's rather difficult to get good pics of gun parts coated in black...

Ok - here are more pictures of this thing - well, the bolt & carrier anyway...plus a bonus pic of the feed ramps - is it me or does the chamber need a little cleaning??
Oh, and for better pictures, makes sure you're not set on black and white mode, and other such settings

Your chamber is clean, don't worry about it. |
