I probably would be wary about a BCG that's incredibly cheap, because there is most likely a reason it's cheap. There are only a couple of machine shops that actually produce BCG's, so most are the same quality, with some having some slightly better specs/testing done.
Our Rock River Arms BCG at $101.25 and free shipping is probably one of the better deals you'll find on a BCG of good quality.

All the RRA carriers I have seen have been staked. RRA has proven to be very customer support oriented as well. I use an RRA carrier on my 6.8 SPC.

I was a little bumbed when I spent the $$ that I did on my custom upper from Accuracy Systems and the key wasn't staked.
I didn't know if it would ever come back to bite me, but sure enough, started short stroking and couldn't figure out why.
Key had almost completely fallen off. Torqued it down and now I double check it every time I strip it for cleaning.

RRA stuff seems real solid based on my experience so far. It all even looks well made.

I've checked all of the RRA bolt carrier groups that have come in and they're all staked, regular and chrome. Perhaps in the past they weren't?
I was pleased we were able to find a vendor with reasonably priced BCG's for dealers to offer their customers. MSRP on these bolts are much higher although.
