...considering in my previous bolt carrier issue post the staking by RRA leaves some to doubt the job done by RRA.
So with the tools at hand can it be done? http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk227/RRA-556/IMG_1457_edited.jpg There are various nail sets & punches not pictured. Oh I also have some pretty serious vice grips if those will work  So here is the way it looks now, http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk227/RRA-556/IMG_1468_edited.jpg Without spending bucks on the cool hex screw staking tool from Brownells what is the next best way? 7mm |

Well they do have a special use. I figured the Dremel would be the right tool just not sure if this is the right job? 7mm |

the Dremel IS the right tool but wrong job like you said ......... the Dremel is ONLY used for fluting your barrel. |

Well, and cutting new picatinny rail slots and threading your barrel for a suppressor. Just those three things. |

Seriously, use small flat blade chisel and whack it really good across both the key and hex bolt head. It is not cut, it is compressed. It is done to help keep the hex bolt from backing out.
I just like saying hemostat.  ByteTheBullet (-: |

I already followed the DIY barrel fluting. It turned it great. Just have to go real slow & buy about 2 ball cutters for every 5 inches of fluting you cut. Do I make the picatinny cuts in the hand guard? or straight into the barrel?  7mm |

Just an observation: Brownells seems to go by the motto, "a tool for ANY possible job". Not to get confused with 'The right tool for the job'. Do they REALLY have a hex screw staking tool?!?!? ByteTheBullet (-: |

Thinking out loud: ...And be very sure to have the key supported on the side opposite from the one you're whacking. As closely as possible, the support should be in-line with, and opposite to with the direction of the hammer blow. Take everything I say with rock-sized grains of salt. While I'm a mechanical engineer (hence: "injun-ear"..."engineer" was already taken) and a Smith, I ain't no gunsmith.

 Wow, that's like nothing, their staking job didn't even bite into the screws. |

They have just pressed the sides of the key into the screws, it's odd, but it ought to work. Most folks prefer to smashticate the cheaper part...that being the screws, so that they press against the key. |

When I get back to my workbench I'll post the after picture since the before is already up.
byte, I'll try to get the tooth brush & HEMOSTATs involved in the staking process. Heck I got about a 20lb granite rock I can either use as bench top or as a hammer.7mm |

I would prefer the method shown in the pic, but more completely done. |
