AR15 BCG Gas Key Replacement

ByDave Timm

In this episode we replace the gas key on a bolt carrier from an AR15. A student of Dave’s had a stuck primer in the gas key that prompted this video. We wanted to show the proper steps to replace the key.

We talk about the key itself, quality screws, sealing, staking and more.

Thanks for watching!
