| Didn't look good getting a complete bolt/carrier assy these days,..but I was able to get a complete bolt from Brownell's and enough stuff from Midway & Brownells to put together the carrier myself. I know the carrier key can and the staking can be tricky & was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction for the proper assembly steps... Thanks in advance. |
| Check some of the assembly videos that are online at Brownell's. Putting the key on a bolt carrier is not difficult. Torque your carrier key screws to 35-40 inch pounds then stake them so they don't turn back out and the stake buldge doesn't extrude out and cause dragging on the charging handle. |

Staking
Quib does a good write up on staking here carrier key install Go here for the install. Scroll down to TM 9-1005-319-23. Make sure you look at -23 and not -10. ETA: Armalite wrote this and reccomends 55 inch pounds. I believe the TM says 35-40 inch pounds. |
