imschur Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 So I bought this AR-15 BCG directly from YM. Its their chrome version but not the national match unit. It cost a fair amount more then its milspec counterparts but was only slightly more then some of the best like LMT. Holy cow is this thing an example of machining perfection and beauty. Wait until you see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhouse Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 That does indeed look top notch!!From the first pic, it didn't look like the gas key was staked. Can I see that area close up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Yep, the second thing I noticed also, after the high quality appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Ill post later why it is not staked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microgunner Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Damn, they're pretty adamant about that. I'd stake it anyway after permatexing and torquing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Well this is going in a paper puncher so Im going to leave it as is and see how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FS2KSTD Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 We stake them at work, just to quell the masses that insist on staking the gas keys. My NM Young BCG is not staked but is Permatex'd, torqued to spec(60"/lbs)Loc-Tite'd. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted March 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I think that the correct torque and the loctite are the key to YM's process. Perhaps if the spec was written today with the availability of modern thread lockers the spec might read different. The other side of the argument would be heat. Is it possible for the BCG to get hot enough to neutralize the loctite? I would think if that was the case the barrel would be on the verge of a melt down.Interesting stuff for conversation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I've had them barrels hot enough to make grilled cheese sandwiches on. Smoking the oil off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmurff Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Having spent 21 years dealing with Mil Specs, I can honestly say the military will almost always go one step passed what is trully necessary. Everything has a torgue and very often we had to mark across set screws with a marker or stencil so anyone looking at the item after assembly would know the screw hadn't loosened.
