I improved the staking on my S&W M&P with just a brass center punch.
No need to send it anywhere nor buy anything.

Crappy Gas Key Staking
I have three uppers, a DPMS, a S&W M&P, and a Palmetto State Armory.
The DPMS has a fantastic stake job done by Ahlman's when they replaced the chattered muzzle finish..
The other two are crap. I assume sending them back will be on my dime, so I think I'll be out over $50 for shipping.
For ~$20 more, Brownells will ship me the tool to do it myself: (69.99 + 3.95 = 73.94)

If I get it, what are my odds of selling it and getting most of my $$$ out of it?
EDIT: If I sell it for $50, I'm $20 to the better.
