gotM4 is definitely a gentleman when it comes to AR work. I figure I owe him at least fifty bucks for stuff he's done for me in the last few months!

But hey, at least the wine was good....

Behold the fine workmanship of Virginia Arms.

That puppy's not likely to move anywhere now, but let's just have a lookie see......

.....now she's smokin' like a fine cigar.

F O C U S glossoppah.....

"Molesting steel" at 100....200......yea, 300 yards.

Four mag-fulls of 120 flawless rounds later --> satisfaction.

Thanks to gotm4 for the fine work, to Templar for the good steer (just the latest of many such over the years), and to C4 for also offering to help.

I've said it before and will again: Shooters are among the best folks on earth.

It really is amazing how common place this problem has become. There is no excuse for manufacturers and/or assemblers to miss this so much.

We use it here in the BCM shop also.

I assume yours(bravo's) are staked correctly? Id like to order one of those.

What bothers me about this is what other steps are short-changed? A cheap solution to this problem that shouldn't exist to begin with. Thankfully there are guys to help us out.

Any experience with the M16 carriers from Larue Tactical being properly staked? Considering picking them up because Blake from Larue said they have the parts in stock and a pretty quick turn around.
