Being a Marine, I know this rifle like the back of my hand, but I never get tired of watching AR-15 informational videos made specifically for beginners. Great video, man!
Ohlie_OE Thanks! I appreciate that and thank you for your service.
^Don't feed the trolls. LOL
Gavin Glazier there's a meme or two specially for you. Too bad we can't post pictures in the comments LOL.
watching youtube videos all the time means nothing little boy
masterchicancergrade3 is that u in the picture. lol
10 years later and this video is still providing some great education for brand new AR-15 owners (like me). This is great, many thanks!
Same here. Bought my first AR-15 and this video is great for educational purposes.
I just got an AR 15. So I see people pull the charging handle and let it go. It flys back and loads. Does it only.do that when ammo in the mag? Mine just can be pulled back and stays there. Really sorry I'm new..

"worried about gun bans"
wow, 7 years ago
I bought an AR15 with red-dot sight yesterday. Thank you Uncle Sam.
@@JohnZeroSignal Uncle Sam is touching me while I sleep
Went through worse in 1994 with that ban..
@@mucheq5386 did he sniff your hair?
Ok?
This guy explained everything so well and he was so informative he should be a professional teacher for firearms I commend him
This is the kind of top comment that actually helps me decide which video to spend 15-20 mins watching. Helpful thanks
Stop. You hurt my feeling and should be censored!
It is a great video no doubt. But a great teacher would point to the parts as he's using words that perhaps people have heard for the first time rather than to just assume that the viewer knows the terms👍
What a fantastic video. No extraneous talk. No attempt at funniness. No over explaining and no repeating yourself. Kudos to you. On top of all these, you actually did not assume the viewers knew the lingo nor did you treat the novices like children. Thank you thank you. I have many fire arms and recently added an AR-15 to my arsenal. I thought I knew enough but as it turns out I did not. UA-cam needs more content providers like you.
He did an excellent explanation on properly operating an AR-15 that everyone can view.
Also no annoying music
AR rifles are light, accurate, easy to field strip and clean, fire relatively inexpensive ammo, can accept high-capacity magazines, and you can get one starting around $500. These are all good reasons for owning one.
@@xyz-su5bv how'd it go my man
Inexpensive ammo lol😵😵😵😵
@L R
You misspelled "Murica"
"Inexpensive ammo" 💀🤔
@@xavierwhite74 no kidding, especially right now. I can't even find any let alone want to pay the ridiculous prices.
No matter how experienced you think you are, you can always learn something new. Appreciate this video
This needs to be taught in schools in 2021 the most peaceful relaxing thing I've watched this week. Way more confident in what I'm doing with my newly acquired panic bought tools
I grew up deer hunting with a Remington 750, small game hunting with a Mossberg 20 gauge and own several handguns.
I’m comfortable with guns - But I’m an AR newb. Very new. This video is great.
First step to teaching anything, be it firearms, changing a car battery or making a PB & J is to assume no prior knowledge.
Well done, well done.
That is so correct. When we get a new welder at work i explain the job as if they know nothing. I feel it is better to explain all than to assume they know everything. This should go with anything that needs instruction.
Same here ,,I agree ,great job explaining the AR, platform....I learned a lot from this video...raised my confidence level and knowledge of the gun...100%,,,,,,,👍😎
I just bought myself my first AR yesterday. I've been shooting and collecting guns for years, but I've never dealt with an AR until now. This video really helped learn how it functions. Thank you sir!
I almost wrote this same comment.very informative,well done sir, thank you.
@@jinxthegreat6533I just got one and this will help me a lot. Thank goodness I have been around firearms for a minute so the transition should be easy with the aid of this video, great job indeed.
@@tonyrebel63 careful,it's addicting haha. The more you learn,the more you want to do with them. 1 tip: they make a .22 LR conversion that makes everything cheaper.have fun😃
@@jinxthegreat6533 I am learning the addiction part LOL lets see Feb 2022 a Mossberg 20 gauge, May Taurus 942 22 Mag. June Mossberg 590Shockwave. July taurus 905 August Taurus 627. September Taurus 605, October Taurus Tx 22, November Taurus 608 November Taurus 66, . January 2023 Kel Tech 22 PMR 30 May AR 15. Yup you right it is addictive.
Very well done. Thank you. My father started his 3 sons out with a BB gun and taught us how to shoot safely. We graduated to .22, pistols, shotgun and deer rifles. I taught my 2 sons as well. My oldest is a Marine and has built up a few AR's. They are fun to shoot and we go to the range regularly as well as shoot while camping out in the boonies. This video was very helpful to understand how everything integrates together with proper nomenclature and operational characteristics. Keep up the great work! We need more education on firearms starting with Congress all the way down to grade school levels IMHO...
Wow, this was really great information. After pondering over purchasing an AR15 for about a year I finally picked one up last week. This video was so informative, that I'm reading to go to the range and start using the Gun ASAP. I've been a Gun owner for about 40 years but was still a little intimidate when I opened the box at home. The video really provided the level of comfort I needed to start enjoying my new purchase. Will watch it again and share with others picking up their ARs. Much appreciated!
I am retired Army. Before becoming a Warrant Officer and way back in the day I was the unit armorer, so I know these weapons like I know myself but I loved this video. I thought it was really well done and for those who are new this was fantastic. Great job and thanks.
Deborah B Thank you for the kind words and thank you for your service!
HOOAH!
Hooah! Don’t mind me I’m running pine sol down the barrel 😂
@@estevanalameda2799 LOL
Im so glad I read this comment twice. I thought I read Walmart Officer at first
Man I really want to thank you for this informative and helpful video. I just purchased my first AR from Palmetto State Armory and being new to AR ownership I wanted to know how to properly field strip it for maintenance purposes. Your video was spot on! On behalf of all of us newbs out here thank you!
Well made. All informative from start to finish. No politics. No BS. Well done sir
I know this video has been out for a while but I wanted to let you know that I just picked up my first carbine and watched your video while reading the owner's manual. As someone who's not very experienced with guns, this was super informative. Thank you for making it.
Just a sidenote, AMAZING video. Sent this to a buddy that's looking into the AR platform. Figured I'd watch it first and I swear you hit every point that needed to be hit (even proper loading of mags!). Keep it up, brother. Awesome job. Earned a sub!
Thanks! I am glad you like it and thank you for the support.
Good Stuff !!!
" It's an AR-15, use it like one" .... great slogan for T-shirts !!
Peace out.... Tucson Jack
Seriously, someone needs to make that shirt.
Thanks for making this, I was far too embarrassed to ask any of these questions to my family that shoots because I got into them as a near adult. This answered pretty much everything I wanted to know
“Your magazine release is what releases your magazine”
😮
🤯
No way man, is it weely?
10 years after the fact I know, but this video is great. Too many people cry about not enough citizens owning weapons but then laugh when a noob asks what the forward assist is for. Everyone starts somewhere. Thx for this
This was extremely helpful. I might have know 90% of it all, but it was so detailed and easy to follow that any beginner would absolutely love it!
13 years Army, great vid. My M-4 is helped me every step of the way. Simple, informative, and I love how straight to the point you are. Right on.
I’m 18 enlisting in the army and practicing shooting before basic. Thank you for the vid
I just bought my first ar the other day, I thought I knew things about it, then I watched your video lol. Thank you! Very informative. Keep up the great work, man!
Just purchased my first AR, this video was extremely helpful and I’m truly surprised how easy it was to bring apart! Thank you so much!
You’re the first to actually explain it in a simple and straight forward way, much appreciated!! Got a PSA AR Pistal and this vid answers my questions! Thanks
You’re the man. I’ve been searching for hours and this is the first video that clearly and adequately explained this to me. Thanks so much!!
Good video! The simplicity makes your videos very helpful for people like me who is now in the process to build one from scratch. Thank you!
Perfect & informative video for everyone :) thank you. Just bought my first one and reading the manual (without pictures) couldn't figure out proper usage and how to do everything I needed to for safety. This is VERY different from all my other guns 🙌 Your video answered all my initial questions THANK YOU SO MUCH!
For various reasons, I’ve not had my AR-15 at the range for almost a decade. This re-introduction helped reacquaint me with the weapon BEFORE I take it out, so I can be as safe as possible at the range. Yes, I’ll be stripping it down and doing a clean and check before using it. You can never be too safe!
Thanks for the video!
Shot my first AR-15 a few weeks ago and I’m hooked. Thank you for making the “for dummies” video for newbies like me. Great content!!
Great decision to make this video. I've been wanting to get into the AR-15 category of weapons, but had no clue where to start, what various parts were called, etc. This also is very helpful as many people have told me to just build my own rather than buying at full price, but again I had no clue about all of the individual parts. Great beginner, introductory video!
New shooter and made my first AR Purchase. Great video!
Subscribed!
What'd you get bro?
Nice!!!
Probably the most detailed on what needed to know the basics about AR in quick video. Thanks, it was so easy to see so many things in quick time.
Just purchased my first AR and wanted to watch some vids all about it and yours was the first i came across. Very informative! Thank you.
Recently got one myself, amazing rifle.
Awesome video, answered a lot of questions I had. Thanks!
Good video. I just bought my first AR. This was very informative.
Got my first AR yesterday, it was used so no instructions on takedown, super thankful for this video
You did an amazing job, I went out and bought an AR yesterday and you explained this so well. Thank you very much
New to the AR platform and your video is very informative. Thank you for thinking about the newbies. Great video and keep them coming.
i came to this video looking for more than the basics but i have to say you did a great job for those who have never used a firearm.
Thank you I appreciate that!
This video is now saved in my library, 6 years later and still a great informative video thank you keep up the great work, UA-camers watch every second of this will help with everything you need to know
I come back to this video every now and then. It was what originally sparked my interest in getting my first AR. Excellent resource.
So much simpler than I originally thought! ready to get my M&P
A bit late but uh... How was the M&P? Fun for a first ar?
I got my s&w m&p sport 2 this weekend
Getting my M&P in a few weeks
I've got a little over 2000 rounds thru it, NOT 1 JAM that wasn't a mag issue. Ate steel case no problem. Shot about 500 1 day, didn't clean it, left it like that for about 2 months, sprayed some oil in it, NO ISSUE.
Got my AR15 a couple of weeks ago but due to work haven't been able to keep training myself with it.
I'm glad I found this video for now I kmow a bit more and feel that much more confident that I will be a good gun owner.
Very clear and understandable video for the beginner. I've been shooting since 1973 and prior to now, have never had an AR-15 or the need to know how to work it. Excellent video!
6 years old but relevant to me being a first time AR-15 owner. Thanks for the video!
Got my first AR today! Thanks for the video! It answered a lot a questions I had about it. I was an AK guy before being an AR guy too!
This was a great video. I just recently bought my first AR. Its an M&P15 sport 2. They explained things very well when I purchased the rifle. There are a few variations from mine to yours but its basically the same. Great stuff. This was very helpful. I plan to build a new AR just so I can call it my own and after watching this I feel more confident in doing so.
I just bought that gun yesterday. My first AR as well. Heard they are great guns for beginners
Thanks man this was very helpful. Just picked up an M&P Sport II my first gun and I feel way more informed about what I have
10 years old and still great to watch! Thank you sir and Thsnk you for your service!!
You have one of the best channels on the AR-15! Period!
Agreed! I used his videos to build my first AR this summer. My hat is off to nsz85 for work!
Thank You for the video, being brought up with shotguns and owning many of them I never really had the reason to own a rifle sense my area was shotgun only for hunting. Now that has change and your video has taught me a lot about the AR and can't wait to purchase or build my first one. Thanks Again
I purchased my first AR 15 today and this video was/is much helpful. You have a new subscriber.
Best video that displays how an AR works and how to handle it for beginners. Great video. Simple.
THANKS. I'm in that group...I decided to buy one a week after ORLANDO because they made it sound like you'll not be able to buy one...so that's what I did . Now, I need to know how to clean it. I did fire one in the Air Force before going overseas but that was 25 years ago. Thanks. This is the best video I've seen out of 7 so far. Very good explainations
ARs are very easily to clean. There are many videos on how to do it here on UA-cam. ARs are very simple guns.
I LOVE IT...really like this rifle.
Thank you so much for this, I’ve never owned an AR before and have sadly inherited 2, thus was great for me. I shoot handguns and long rifles, so I really appreciate the breakdown!
Beginner here. Thanks so much for the video. Very informative. Last week, my coworker to me to the gun club and we shot his Colt AR-15 heavy barrell. Shooting targets at 25 yards wit standard sites. I was surprised at how accurate it was with using standards sites. I was hooked after that. My only experience before that was firing my Daisy Bee Bee rifle. Today, I just bought a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Sport II today at my local gun club. My first firearm! After purchasing it, I took it in the firing range with one of the shooting club employees and he showed me some basics. I was surprised at how accurate it was on the first go around. I didn't have to make any adjustments to the sites. I am loving this platform.
Thank you for saying don't be gentle! My boys drilled that into me when I was learning. Great detailed video and explanation. Clear and quick!
Thanks for the video. I too am an "AK guy" and I just purchased a lower for an AR build so this video helped a lot. I will definitely watch your other videos. Thanks for the help.
crazycomic You are very welcome :)
Thank you so much for this video. I just bought my first AR and am still figuring it out. I have classes/training lined up, but this video was super helpful. Thanks again!
Don't forget to vote for pro-second Amendment politicians
As someone new to the AR-15 platform, this was extremely informative and helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for this video! I'm saving it for later. Just purchased my first AR after wanting one for about a decade. Thank you!!
Very informative , great vid for us new to the field of AR 15's , thank you !!!
Terrific video. Born and raised in California, just moved out of state and am exercising my 2nd to the fullest. Loving the community.
Best takedown video! I just bought a Sport 2 MOE yesterday & this truly helped me learn how to take down.
Everyone asks where I find AR-15 stuff in stock or where I order from, so here you are: goo.gl/GKqpCC
nsz85 would you ever consider a Smith & Wesson M+P15 22 Sport M-LOK 22LR 16.5" Barrel being a good beginners choice? It's inexpensive, but my friend said that it's only a 22LR. Does that mean it's not a true AR?
It's still an AR he means that it is just chambered in a .22 cal, if it is your first gun ever I would advise the .22 and later on once you're more familiar with it and have more experience then make the switch to a .223/5.56 or maybe even a .308. P.s i'm actually buying my first AR next week, and considering the same model you're talking about but in a .223.
SwiftScout06 Thanks for letting me know. My buddies that own AR15s have told me to skip the .22 cal and move on to .223 cal, because I can easily buy a bolt to fire .22 cal instead of buying a .22 cal AR, and then buying another more expensive AR. It isn't a bad idea, and only paying an extra $200 to $300 for an adequate mid level AR. Although building one from scratch would be a lot better 👌🏻
Yeah man no prob, you definitely seem to b on the right track. You're also right about buying an upper receiver to shoot 22, but I doubt you'll want to go back. Btw I'm practically a beginner myself and couldn't wait any longer so I went today and bought my rifle. I'm tickled to death about it too, I can't wait to take out on the farm and take some yotes. ;)
SwiftScout06 yeah the thing I'm aiming for is not having to buy expensive ammo for practice. I understand the differences between certain ammo, but paying 50 to 75 cents a round just to practice seems a bit much. Unless I want to see the affects of a certain round like a NATO green tip (which might not be legal in California) Now gun shows are the perfect time to buy ammo. My buddy paid 10 cents a round very cheap. No worries I'm a beginner myself.
Fantastic video! Just bought my first one and am waiting for it to come in! Love these beginner videos cause some of us no nothing but are doing our homework to be responsible gun owners!
YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND WITH LOADING THAT MAGAZINE. For years I've been loading them like a handgun magazine. Very informative with everything else as well. Great video.
Yeah, that was one thing I never knew either. That tip will save me a lot of time when loading ammo.
Good instructive video. I’m 51 now and it’s been a long time since my US Army days and my M16 A2. The basics rushed back to mind from memory while watching this video. Will be grabbing an AR15 ASAP. Thx! Subscribed.
Thank you for this video. I’ve been raised around guns all my life but I’m still willing to learn. Thank you and God Bless
Thank you soooo much! I am new to AR's and I took mine apart to clean it, when putting it back together i COULD NOT figure out why the charging handle was not going back into place with the bolt. After MUCH panic, I found your video and I went straight to the part about those damn notches you have to get to and then drop it in. So thanks again, I will sleep easy tonight.
Thank you for doing this video. I just bought my first AR-15 last week and this was extremely helpful!
Just got my first AR and this is a must watch. As someone who’s only hand hand guns and shotguns, I found this to be really informative and am now gonna go watch your video on how to clean an AR as well. Great video.
That was perfect, I'm trying to build my first one and that laid everything out perfectly
What a great video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you very much for sharing.
I was looking for basics for a family member. This is a great video. Good job guys.
I am only half way through and I am finding this so helpful....my first AR is ordered and on the way
wow this video was awesome after I watched it I took apart my ar for the first time and cleaned it my self successfully
Thank you for this video. I'm a noob when it comes to guns, but I've had an AR-15 gifted to me a long while back, I just never touch it. However, I decided I'm going to finally learn about it, understand the basics and cleaning, etc. This video was super helpful in understanding some of the basic parts.
I have shot an AR15 before (and several other guns), but it's nice to see the basics explains so well.
Great vid. Brought back a lot of memories at the armory doing weapons cleaning. I'll be shopping around now for an AR-15.
Just purchased my first ar today. This video was very insightful and helpful, thanks a lot!!
Thank you so much for going step by step explaining the AR-15. This was so refreshing and gave me more confidence to handle my new rifle. I appreciate the handle and comfort feel of the rifle. Ready to visit the gun range again to try my new purchase. 👍👍 #Gr8Tutorial
First time I haven’t heard heard the battery assist called the “bad lever”. Either way, great video, my friend. Shoot ‘em straight
Excellent! I never wanted an AR, but now I feel like it is a necessity! Haven’t bought yet, but will in the next few weeks. Thank you for the education!!
Helped a lot actually. Knew little to nothing about AR15’s. Just got into airsoft. And very informational. Thank you
Learned a lot...thank you!!
Nice video, very smooth and on point, thumbs up..
Excellent walkthrough! While I’m not new to guns, I am new to the AR15 platform and this has been the most helpful video I’ve found yet! There’s so much snarky, uselessly over-stylized content about these rifles but this video was legitimately informative and useful. Thank you!
Just got my first AR today! This video was super helpful
Honestly, I’m sure you’ve got a thousand of these comments but thank you for passing on your experience. I’m an ace when it comes to wheel guns but I just picked up my first rifle and was looking for some schooling. Your video was dang near perfect on instruction. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your other videos 👍🏻
Thanks for the video. I've been a 2A guy for a few years but just got my first AR style so this helped. Grabbed a WC-15-P from Westcoast Weapon Works (yup, I'm in California). If anyone's got advice or tips, even shooting ranges around the SoCal area let me know.
I've looking videos all day to explain an ar to me and this is by far the best thank you so much sir
nsz85, I just got a new BCA 7.62x39 and I know nothing about AR operation. I want to thank you for this video, as a new AR beginner your video was excellent, and your verbal presentation, speed and style were perfect. A video with verbal instructions that I can replay as needed is what I was looking for. The manual that came with my new rifle is just not very clear. I will save your video and refer back to it until I become really comfortable with my new BCA 7.62x39 rifle. Thanks nsz85, I think you helped a lot of people.
Cannot express my appreciation for this video! New to the AR and was a bit intimidated to break it down but with your assistance that is no longer a problem. Until you do it a few times it becomes very easy. Subscribed and will follow your channel on anything AR related. One question: the diagram on your table of the AR, probably a dime a dozen to get (maybe not and therefore asking) where do I get that? Thank you!
this is the best introductory video on the internet for a 15.
*AR-15
Great video. Simplicity is always the best way.
Good video, very instructional. Im picking up my first AR in a couple days and I had no idea on how to break it down. Thanks!
Very nice. Some know-it-alls may not appreciate this sort for thing but I just ordered my first AR last Friday and as a teacher I try to learn everyday and so, with your help and other great videos, I'm literally absorbing any and all info on this piece before it arrives! Love your channel, keep up the great work!! Happy Thanksgiving 2017!
