Please do not post about if you think staking is important or not. I do not care. I just want to collect pictures of different companies staking jobs in one thread for reference.

Side to side comparison. (RRA chromed S/A, RRA S/A, BCM F/A)


Chromed RRA from July 2011.

RRA from April 2011. (ETA: That is what PKFirearms told me came with my upper. I think it reminds me of CMT staking IMO)

BCM from December 2009

BCM, BCM, PSA, YHM.

I think the PSA is the best one of the 4.

Spikes......Young's.....Armalite.

The Youngs is not factory done and was done by the seller. The Armalite is what I would call "minimal staking". I personally havent bought into the whole needs to be staked argument and agree with Young's, but the extra precaution doesnt hurt.





zoom in on Armalite so you can see it better

A new idea from DS Arms.

Not staking but has the same intent.
