Loose Gas Key

I was cleaning my LMT AR this evening and while I was dismantling my BCG I noticed the Gas Key was loose. I have only run 3k to 4k through it.

My question is whether you would advise to return the Bolt Carrier to LMT or to tighten and re-stake the bolts myself?

I would call and ask them about it Monday.

They may ask you to restake them, if you know how, or they may just send you a replacement.
