First off the staking is sub par. And before someone says send it back I wanted to shoot this weekend. I just did a Google and it seems sub par stake jobs have been an issue with this for over a year. Why? Why hasn't this been fixed?
Normally I'd say shit happens but I'm getting tired of how often "mishaps" from companies have been occurring. Plus, as mentioned, it's been going on for a while. This second issue is definitely a head scratcher. Who thinks it's a good idea to wrap the bcg in the printed out receipt page and put it in the least padded (might not have been padded at all, can't remember now) envelope?

These carrier's never need to be staked
Same Bolt Carrier Group as VDI LIFECOAT DI INTEGRAL just not TiN coated & cost $122.40 Less than the Salient Arms Integral BCG. VDI also has a LIFECOAT DI INTEGRAL LOW MASS BCG 
POF ULTIMATE BOLT CARRIER GROUP NP3 
LWRCI DI Advanced Direct Impingement Bolt Carrier Group Nickel-Boron 
Young Manufacturing doesn't Stake Gas Key's Staking the Gas Key on the AR-15 and M-16 Carrier. There has been a lot of talk about the pros and cons of staking the gas key on the carrier. Here is our opinion and why Young Manufacturing will not stake keys. We have been making carriers since 1991. The US Mil Spec. assembly drawing requires the carrier key to be staked. Contrary to some popular opinions staking does not “SEAL” the gas key. Staking keeps the screws from backing out. Period. If you do not properly torque the screws to 56 inch pounds you will be staking a screw that is loose or one that is over torqued and prone to breakage. We have seen plenty of staked screws that are loose or broken. The Mil Spec. also calls for the gas key bottom surface to be “SEALED” with Permatex gasket sealer. Something no one does to our knowledge. Here is our procedure for installing a gas key. First clean the oil from the gas key and the mating surface on the carrier. Then clean the oil from the screw threads. We use brake cleaner for this. Next use a very light coating of Permatex high strength thread locker gel on the bottom of the key. PN 27010. This is much easier to use than the Permatex gasket sealer. It comes in a plastic twist dispenser and can be purchased at ACE Hardware. Make sure you don’t use so much that it squishes into the gas port hole. The cure rate is 60 minutes. Next coat the screw threads with the same gel. Install the key and torque the screws to 56 inch pounds. Should you decide to remove the key for some reason don’t use the old screws when you put the key back on! You will most likely break them during installation or when you fire the rifle. Go to the local hardware store and buy new 8-32 x ¼” SHCS. If you feel the need to stake the screws spend the money and get one of the staking tools from Brownell that uses a screw type system to swedge the material into the top of the screw. Don’t use a hammer and a punch! You can stretch the thread on the screw or crack it. Now you have a loose screw that will eventually break if the gun even fires. You could also swedge the material out so far that it drags in the upper receiver. We will not warrantee a carrier with a staked key no matter who staked it. You will be charged for a new key and any labor required to remove broken screws. Good Shooting! Daniel H Young |

What is wrong with the staking???  
I have long wondered "who would buy a TiN coated bcg?" Cry babies. Cry babies is the answer to that question. |

I'm missing something OP, what's your angle on this? I have 3 Aim BCGs and all of them function flawlessly, I've never looked at the staking because I don't need to, I know that if anything goes wrong with said BCG that Aim will take care of it no questions asked
That being said, if you are unhappy about your purchase than be a man about it and admit it, there is no need to act like a child and complain about something you believe is wrong but it actually how it should be |

The staking prevents the screws from vibrating out, thats it. About the bubble mailer that we ship bolts in, we ship around 75,000 a year, and maybe see 2 problems a year. If we didn't make them free shipping we could box them but its going to add $ to the price of the BCG. |

Attached File OP it's OK. We all know that this is not about the BCG. |
| Thats a pretty good stake job. OP is a little girl. Went with the fancy gold bcg and everything, does it match your favorite heels or purse. I bet he would crap a brick if his rilfe got scratched. Need me to hold that gold purse while you cry about the staking and scratches. |
