So as i learn more and more about my rifles, I find more and more that they are messed up. More so just not built well. In my case its just lack of experience. But I am learning. So i am pretty sure the stake job on my bcg is no good. Now i have not had any problems and i know the rule is " don't fix it unless its broken". But i don't want it to break...So my thought is to get a new gas key...a nickle one with new screws and the tool to do the job right.
So my question is...Do i use a sealant between the carrier and the gas key?
I have a Spikes BCG in Nickle Boron. Also can i just get any key of good guilty as long as its another Nickle Boron? I posted some links to the key and tool i want to use!

Also i learned i should have a staked castle nut too on my buffer tube and I do not. I have a BCM Tube and new nut... So what should be the torque Spec. and how is that staked? Is it just a matter of pushing metal into one of the inner notches?
