I'll be at Gibraltar Taylor this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 6-7-8 and I'll be staking AR15 carrier keys at no charge.
Just bring your clean carrier in, it only takes a minute.
Improper staking is a leading cause of malfunction in the AR rifles.

+1 very nice of you!
This is great for anyone with a Bushmaster
aren't they mostly known for that problem?

Sadly, most carrier keys are not properly staked. RRA, DPMS, STAG, BUSHMASTER, ADS, OLY, ARMALITE and on and on.
I've even seen factory Colts with NO staking at all.

Damn, I knew I forgot to bring something with me when I went down there this evening (I was the fatty that talked with you about the MIAD and bought the Pmags, Magpuls, and rail ladders). My upper is a Del-ton build and though it is staked I really looked at it good when you posted about the staking a few weeks ago and it definately could be better.

Let me know when you get the FDE MIADS and a couple more FDE ladders in and I will try to make another trip down there on a Friday evening (not paying to get in is always bonus) and the prices are great and it's awesome not to have to wait on shipping.

I hope I am not out of line and I know the tool is not cheap but could you tell us what tool you are using for those people who may want to purchase them?

If the tool is from who I think it is I think people should know he does sell them if they want their own and that the man who makes them is a genius (especially with 1911's) and a hell of a nice guy...

IF I am outta line there just say SHUT THE F up Yogi and I wont be upset :)

As I said, which what these costs the fact you are doing it free is a true nice guy move and a great service for many out there...  I drank the Colt Kool Aid and must say this has NEVER been an issue with ANY of my Colts, I will NEVER buy a Bushy again after this was an issue on the three I had owned.

No problem, no secret.

The tool I use is the MOACKS designed and manufactured by Ned Christiansen.
MOACKS is an acronym for Mother of all Carrier Key Stakers.

It's a great tool. I offer this service because a guy with one or two ARs probably won't want to buy one. Armorers or guys that build a good many will find it in-valuable.

I've offered this service to a few police departments and really anyone that wants it done.
I also use this tool on every AR and every bolt carrier that I sell.

The basic MOACKS runs $130.00

Thanks for staking my carriers this morning, Kurt.  Of the 3 I brought to Kurt, 2 needed "proper" staking; a Stag, and an unknown M-16 carrier.  My Colt carrier (Match H-Bar from the early '90's) was OK, per Kurt.

Ned Christiansen is a great pistol smith and is extremely innovative. He is also a very nice guy on top of it all. Best part, he's in Michigan.

Kurt,

Are you going to be at the Birch Run show this weekend? A buddy of mine is looking to pick up a Stag lefty model (not sure which one) and was planning on hitting that show.

No, I won't be there.
Next show I'm at is Gibraltar Mt Clemens in two weeks.
I have Stag Lefties in stock.

OK I'll pass along the message to him, I gave him your contact info today, so he will probably be giving you a call in the next few days.

I'll be at the Gibraltar Taylor Show this weekend, June 6-7-8 and the offer is still good for free carrier key staking.

You may also want to think about upgrading the extractor spring, insert and O-ring as well.

Lots of new quality AR accessories in stock. (not chinese airsoft stuff!)
