Forwarding this to a buddy of mine who is a newbie... I helped him select parts and we put the lower together... He ordered a complete upper set. Good times. I am sure he'll appreciate this video.
@5jjt let me clarify. Do as he did but then wipe clean with a rag till no more dirt/black comes off the parts then relube the same way. I know this isnt a full cleaning video but its basically the same principle.
Everyone eventually develops their own favorite tweaks and products. Personally, I really like the Bore Tech products. The extended operating temp rage of their extreme CLP and friction guard XP lube ( -100f to 600f) is something I look for. That and it does not stink up the room so much. You can refine your process over time, but as far as I'm concerned, where metal meets metal in an AR, too much lube will not cause as many problems as too little lube.
Yea, i lube my bcg a little different. Still runs great but makes it a lot cleaner when you break it down after a range day. Ill put a light film of grease on the rails (just enough to coat) then ill put oil just on the rails and run that back and forth in the reciever a few times, then i add a little more oil to the bcg rails. The clp that i cleaned the bcg with will leave a protective coat to prevent rust/corrosion on the rest.
Pretty simple clean lube with what is shown in Vid, been using Slip & G96 for decades. Run a bore snake with G96. Optic of choice light, sling, pick up 10 or more good mags of your choice. After verification of operation of AR rattle can. Pick up cases of ammo go to class or two, retain info from classes then train solo. More ammo more reps. Dont buy 10 Ars invest in a back up AR then invest in NODS & Thermal after chest rig or plate carrier.
If your firearm runs flawlessly out of the box, you got a dang good gun!! If she runs dry and still doesn't jam, be proud!!!! So I don't mind trying it out before cleaning.. honestly, if the gun is good enough, it won't jam or malfunction in any way.
It’s a machine you wouldn’t run your car with out oil. I do agree once it’s broke in they require less oil. I’ve done this cleaning to guns then ran 1000 rounds with no additional cleaning or lube but for the brake in its good to oil and just go over the firearm.
Good video, I know people who have showed up to shoot, brand new gun, and gonna shoot it like that. I suggested maybe at least put a few drops of oil in there. They agreed, and then shot over 400 rounds through the rifle...like mag dumps and such. I can't imagine what might have happened if he fired that thing dry...?
I’m not sure all ARs have a little wobble that’s not something I look at. The only ones that don’t are the ones that have the screw in the lower. I think Areo is the only one that does that. If it really bugs you they make a wedge u can put in the lower. I don’t remember what it’s called but just look up AR15 wedge on google
@@CTTH100I like it a lot actually I use to be a big Aimpoint fan. I still am but it’s kinda like why spend all that money when these are available and there pretty tough I’ve seen them dropped a lot and they hold zero and the dot stays on for 5 years.
@@CTTH100I’m willing to use this rifle as a home defense and kinda a go to. Now I have 2 colts w Acogs and those are my main go too. But unless some kinda war is going on the smith is what I would grab.
I use ballistol as well but I mostly use it for my black powder firearms. I was just out of it when I made the video and it slipped my mind. It is a good lube and it’s been around since WW1

Thanks hope it helps
Solid advice. I recommend going the extra step and wiping everything off with towel after lubing. Basically doing what you did twice. Clean!
They'll run wet and dirty, but not dry and dirty.

Very informative. Lubrication is a must
Good advice reminding newbies to zero your new gun to your preferences.
Thanks for this man. Felt embarrased because its been so long since I handeled one of these, I felt stupid for not remembering the basics.

I learned how to do all that in basic training at Fort Polk in 1973
Good vid thanks

This is my rifle ritual always. My rifles are usually over greased

Can you do a video on how to get the handguard off? For the life of me I can't get the handguard off for the sport 3.
Just out of curiosity why would u want to remove the handgaurd?
Does your upper/lower have a slight wobble ? My sport 3 does

Which optic is that?

@THEPAGUNGUY How are you liking it?

@THEPAGUNGUY Thanks for the update. I agree... those $1k Aimpoints....wow!! For me, it's just for range time.

First of all Ballistol, the best cleaner and lubricant ever made. Check your B.C.G. for everything to be proper, and don't do mag dumps right away.

WHAT HAPPENED NO AUDIO ?
Got to be on your end o it clicked on it and I can hear it
