Now that I have sold all of my home built AR's, I want to focus on my Ruger AR-556 only. I bought this rifle about 2.5 years ago from GRAB A GUN for $499. I actually bought 2, one for my son (he paid for his). I have about 500 rds. thru it, 95% steel case ammo. I installed a BCM Upgraded Extraction Kit to get those SCA casings to eject correctly.
My Q? is, would you stake the gas key better than it is, or leave it alone? I installed a Premium PSA BCG after about firing 25 rounds. I want to install this one again and sell my PSA BCG to my cousin for a build he's working on. If I have Ruger do it, they want the whole rifle sent back. Or, I can take just the bolt carrier to a local gunsmith to have it done.
