Dt,
Fair enough.
For the sake of only one carrier it doesn't make sense to purchase the $70 Brownells jig. Staking from the top is a recognised method however. For this you only need a chisel and a hammer, so no financial outlay. I hear this was the original method used before the 'Revised' method replaced it (coming in from the sides). I am sure you know the drill. Just enough to stop the screws moving and not too much to break them.
I hear some manufacturers of cheap carriers don't bother putting a gasket seal around the flat of the key. The time I did three of these jobs we used Selleys Liquid Gasket to seal the bind. It's a silicone rubber for car engines. I am sure your Loktite gasket will work also.
