AR Gas Key Installation | Rubber City Armory Gas Key Install & Tips

In this video I walk through an AR gas key installation using a Rubber City Armory gas key, breaking down the process step by step so you can do it correctly and confidently. The gas key is a critical component of the AR bolt carrier group, and proper installation, torque, and staking are essential for reliability.

I cover what to look for before installing a new gas key, how to remove an old one if needed, and how to install and secure the new key properly. If you’re troubleshooting cycling issues, replacing worn parts, or upgrading components during a BCG rebuild, this guide focuses on doing it right the first time rather than cutting corners.
