I just staked both of mine tonight. I would say the majority of research I have done says to stake them. You have two types of metal coming together that just won't hold even with lock tight. I used lock tight on mine originally and so far it is fine but with very few rounds. I guess over time it will come loose. Here is a video which is how I did mine. Super easy. Get an auto punch and it takes like 2 minutes tops. If you don't like the mark it leaves you can touch it up with gun blue no problem. Why risk it when it is this easy? I always thought it would be hard until I saw videos like this and the auto punch tool. Got mine at Menards for $6. Lowe's and Home Depot didn't have them near me.
