Anyone know why DPMS does not stake their gas keys for the LR-308 lineup?  I'll be staking it myself but was wondering if there is any reason behind this other than cutting corners.

Some think its not needed ?
Could have been missed or as you said ,cutting costs .
Maybe DPMS will speak up , they monitor this sight.

The gas key in my LR-308C is staked.

Interesting... I wonder if mine just got missed somehow or if they started staking later on.  Mine is a few years old, got it from GA Precision, which I'm also surprised didn't stake it themselves.  I have to pay $125 now for a MOACKS tool, I'm lucky enough Ned is making an AR-10 version for me.  I could just use a punch but I want it done right and not look like a hack job.

Just get an automatic center punch from the hardware store. They work great.

Slipped through, maybe.  I have a TAC 20, and it's properly staked.

I've seen the result of those and some don't come out too pretty.  Based on my staking ability with a punch on the castle nut is the reason I'm going for the MOACK.
