    I'm very new to the AR platform. Bought my first M4 the other day and used your video to learn how to break it down and clean it for the first time. Very helpful and informative. Thanks.

    Sootch00 Thank you so much for this series of videos. Yes I have put together and cleaned my own AR but I have been self taught & it always helps to watch someone else do it to too see if I am missing anything. Complete novices to experts need to watch this series. If you are novice watch and learn ; a expert please add your comments so all us guys in the middle can learn!!

    Every now and then I check out AR cleaning videos just to see if I can pick up a new tip or trick and I gotta say your video is by far still the most in-depth and up close video on how to clean and lube an AR-15. A Big Thumbs Up Sootch..🇺🇸👍👍👍👍👊

  • @brucemackenzie8794
    @brucemackenzie8794 5 років тому +7

    Sooch00 after watching numerous vids on cleaning and reassembling a AR you are the only one showing how the bolt goes back in the ejector at the 4-5 o'clock position and the extractor roughly 11o'clock position
    thanks for the detail

  • @runamok4
    @runamok4 10 років тому

    I picked up my Colt M4 about a month ago, I was a little leery about a complete breakdown and cleaning until I watched this video. It was very helpful and the cleaning turned out to be a piece of cake, thanks

  • @GeorgiaBoy1961
    @GeorgiaBoy1961 6 років тому +2

    Sootch, a useful suggestion for those who have the inclination is to use a sonicator (vibratory cleaner) bath. Lyman makes one, as do several other makers. The device consists of a small bath with a temperature control, timer and on/off for sonication. Simply fill the bath to the fill line with warm-hot water, add a small amount of grease cutter, and then place your dirty parts in the basket and lower the basket into the bath. Hit the control buttons to start and the machine does the rest. Obviously, this machine is a luxury and doesn't not replace your method in the field or when by-hand cleaning is needed, but a sonicator is a real labor-saver if you have a lot of dirty gun parts to clean. More-stubborn deposits can be left to soak overnight as needed. Cabela's and other retailers offer environmentally-safe grease cleaners which may be safely washed down the drain and do not require haz-mat storage/pick-up.

      @TrueBlueYou 4 роки тому +2

      APatriot Yeah...He recommended that I take the upper off… “It would make it much easier” he said. I tried to do it with the upper on and it took me almost 6 months to clean : o

      Lubricity is a word but I think it was said improperly in what he was referring to.

    Great video! Regarding lube however, I've seen a lot of guns choke from being too dry, but I've never seen one choke from being too wet.
    One tool that's nice to have is an Iosso Complete AR-15 Cleaning Kit. It has the proper brushes to clean every part of the rifle. It's not a have to have, but it's sure nice to have! That and a bore snake and you've pretty much got it covered for most cleaning. Add in a good 1-piece rod, jag & brush set and some patches for heavy bore cleaning, and you're set!

  • @patmac7139
    @patmac7139 6 років тому

    Holy hell! Great video. I never knew about these Tapco Star Patches! I've spent countless hours, throughout all stages of my military career, sitting there fingering that star chamber, wiping, and repeating over and over hoping that the arms room will say it's clean enough to turn my weapon back in. I just bought some of these patches and I'll keep em in my car for the next time we draw weapons.

    Agreed. Since I shoot my AR almost 100% of the time suppressed, using high temp bearing grease on the bolt really helps keep down carbon buildup.
