Great videos - As a former Marine from the early 70's, we used the M14 in Boot Camp at PI and beyond, now as a civilian I have M1a's from Springfield. I'd say your lube procedure is ok for range work, service M14's would never use that much lube because of attracting grit and jamming. Also if you're shooting in the desert out here in the West don't use any oil... lubriplate the bolt lug track in moderation, and use a dry graphite type lube on everything else.
That's why I always ran my M-16A1 dry unless in a severely wet environment, I would then put a very light coat of CLP but then wipe it off. I never had any issues. I do the same with my M1A Scout.
Thank you for this video, sir. I'm brand new to the M1A world, and I plan to tear mine down today. Very helpful.
+tonyben3 I really like your videos and appreciate the time you spend teaching us this stuff. I have wanted an M1A for years and am finally getting to a position where I can buy one and your videos are hugely appreciated.
Thank you for the detailed video. I just bought an M1A. You made it so easy to understand. Great job!😎
Ty for posting link to rumble.
I noticed this when I was removing the tan paint on my M1A, there is a bolt roller greaser actually on the the receiver itself, just behind the op rod notch.
Great videos, man. I just picked up my first M1A (Socom 16), and definitely plan on getting more, I caught the bug, lol. I like that you go into so much detail, I'd rather have too much info rather than too little. Don't listen to the haters.
The spray grease looks like a way easier deal.
I totally appreciate the video, sir...
+QballGaming
I like it too. The XF-7 products are very good. If you use the spray, use 2 to 3 coats.
Tony.
Thank you for all your videos , good luck and Happy new year 2023!
Looking forward to the winter/arctic lubrication video. :)
We never shot the M1A being an Army "Tanker". All we had was a stinkin 120mikemike.. ;-)
These videos, have inspired me to build my own M1A. I DO wish I could find an "Action Wrench" like his buddy made. I have seen fellow 11B Infantry using the M14 in Iraq.
Beleive it or not, with an ACOG on the damn things.. These are great videos. Best on U-Tube. I've picked up a Springer N.M. (barrel & sights) weapon. All I hear are "It's gonna break, Op rod, extractor".. Waste of money!"..
Whatever. So, yeah ordered an LRB reciever, TRW bolt etc. Thanks for the videos MARINE! SEMPER Fi!
Don't know what I would do w out your vids my friend.. thanks Ben
Again .the BEST. MOST IDEAL WAY TO DO THIS ...BY FAR ..THANK YOU AGAIN. YOUR HIRED ILL KEEP YOU AROUND ..
Thank you for the great video , very detailed and helpful .
I’ve found that mobil1 extended service grease works well. Also for the roller, a cleaned out .45 acp case packed with grease works too, just a little bit messier than that tool you had. I leave it sloppy until I cycle it a few times then wipe the excess off. I do love my garand action rifles!
Thanks for the great video. Very easy to follow and informative.
Another awesome video! Thanks Tony.
Any NLGI Certified grease will work. I would put grease on the spline gears what actually move the sight no question. Gears are subject to sliding friction and you dont want that. The locking teeth that hold the sight in place is similar to the clutch you would find in an electric drill, which is greased. Just make sure the sight is properly tightened.
On Parris Island in 1981 I was issued an M16A1 which I know is a totally different beast than the M14/M1A. We were trained to use CLP only, and then only to a minimum so not to trap dirt, sand and grit. Ever since I have used CLP on every firearm I own exclusively, including my M1A, which I have owned since 2003. It was only recently that I began using grease on my M1A and then only because of watching numerous videos on lubrication of this rifle. My only concern is... well.. all that grease does trap dirt grit and sand. Are the tolerances on this rifle such that they accommodate for the grease and grit etc that grease may trap?
+tonyb0164
Yes, they are more forgiving than the M16. You can always go light on the grease too. Lots of people over-grease their rifles.
Thats right, much tighter tolerances on the M16. I had forgotten that when the M16 first came out it was issued without a cleaning kit because it was supposed to have been "self cleaning." That idiocy caused some lives.
I'd be curious to know this as well. But I would still run the clp based on the environment around your house. Assuming you don't have tons of sand around your house
The M1 and M14 (which is based on the M1) both call for grease. CLP is great for cleaning the bore and chamber and to prevent rust in the same. Personally, I use a mild copper solvent on the bore and chamber, run a few dry patches, and then run a patch soaked in CLP for rust prevention. Everything else gets grease. I'd use Plastilube if I could find it, but I can't so I use Tetra grease. Works great.
Right- grease is essentially semi-solid oil that is designed for metal surface consistency and persistency of the ease of metal-to-metal contact. Oil can perform this task, but with less efficiency and with more application vice that of grease. All oils and greases attract dirt, sand, etc.
the old lubriplate grease was replaced with the inception of the M14 with "Plastilube" it is a dark brown colored grease and today is mostly found in the little m1 grease pots, but it's getting hard to find, used to be able to get a 1 pound can for like $10 bucks.
I use Lucas heavy duty bearing grease. It works well. Thanks Tony!
What’s up with the blurr ???
Thank you for this video
Love this channel
UA-cam sucks there censoring your video.
Incredible instruction thank you
@tonyben3 i just bought my first M1a, do you recommend doing this before I take my rifle to the range?
thanks for the video
Really like the video, but the blur spot is a MAJOR setback!
Why is there a big square blur in the center of the screen?
woot new vid ! Thank !
Thanks for the information - nicely done. Every time you say "mmmm k" I think of the counselor from Southpark (Mr. Mackey). BTW, are those ocean waves I hear in the background? (or perhaps simply cars driving by)
What's with the grayed-out rectangle in the middle of the video?
VERY WELL DONE
Fantastic detailed video. How often do you recommend a full detail strip and lube like you show here?
Once a year or after 1500 rounds.
TW 25B is what I use on most all my guns especially belt fed guns.
Hey Big Tony! What's your take on Shooter's Choice Hi-tech Grease/FP-10 gun oil for lubrication & MPRO-7 CLP for the barrel?
+ArimaKihe1
It should all work just fine.
Great videos. Just a quick question, why is grease the preferred lubricant for the M1A, whereas CLP etc... used on most other firearms?
Grease stays where you put it....oil disperses more
Hey Tony, question; how often does all this need to be done? Would you please make a video on how to adjust the sights when you get a chance?
Is your gas piston titanium and if so how do you like it?
Or is it the one for N.M. ammo?
"Proper application of lubrication" - T-shirt logo.
What is you opinion on “breaking in” a new M1A rifle to optimize its accuracy potential by continuously cleaning the barrel in between its first rounds fired. I’m asking this question in concept, not to labor over with a specific procedure. I’m just interested in your and other listeners yes or no opinion. I’ve never done this with any other rifle that I have purchased in my 66 years.
I think "breaking in" a rifle barrel is nonsense.
I use “red & tacky” grease by Lucas. I apply it with a brush! Do you recommend that grease?
If you want to swap bolts do they need to be fitted or are they drop in like ar?
Merci ! Genial !
Sooo. Why is the video blurred
What did you use to whiten your serial number, elevation and windage indicators, White Out or Grease Pencil?
+Mario Rodriguez
My wife's fingernail polish. I filled in the letters and wiped the excess with a rag and acetone.
How did you get the sight markings set up? What did you use? I would assume any kind of regular paint wouldn't hold up. I hope someone is still monitoring this LOL
a white Crayola crayon. Just rub it on and wipe off the excess. Good to go.
What's with the Blurred out action?
Is the piston supposed to stay dry?
DON’T EVEN BOTHER WATCHING THIS VIDEO...THE WHOLE VIDEO IS BLURRED-OUT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PICTURE..!
Why is the middle of the screen blurred?
I had it blurred to direct people to the video description that had a link to Rumble. I am shifting my content to Rumble but people don't read the video description and I still get asked why the blur is there. I finally removed the blur. Hopefully I can figure out some way to shift traffic away from the tube.
What's up with the sensor blur?
at 11:30 minutes you mention you could have a very, very big problem if you oil or grease the firing pin channel -- what happens ??
Jammed forward firing pin(due to dried up grease/ dirt accumulation) =full auto, haha!
Light primer strikes. Oil slows it down with stiction.
would Militec-1 work as a all around lubing compound i cant find lubriplate 130-a nor XF-7 near where i live the gun store where i bought my M1A told me its was really good
+Psychog two
I'd use a grease if at all possible. Mobil-1 synthetic wheel bearing grease works great! You can find it at any hardware store.
Tony.
What barrel are you using on this lrb? What would you recommend for a battle rifle/ dmr? Thanks
Pick up a criterion chrome lined barrel, they are done right and are very accurate.
What brand is that synthetic stock?
Why is the whole video visually censored??
UA-cam is doing that because they don't want you to have info on guns.
I guess the blur spot is a recent uTube addition. I’ll save further comment.
Why did you copy right the video? I'm not trying to be rude. I just wanted to know why thought it would be necessary
Because I've already had people try to steal my content for their own personal gain on three separate occasions. I also accept donations, so I opened the video production business so I can expense all my costs, shield myself from lawsuits and report the donations on my taxes. If the IRS audits me, I need to show proof that I'm making videos under my company name and making some sort of income on them.
Tony.
Good vid, what was the grease used?
XF-7
Where did you buy it?
You can purchase it at xf7gungrease.com
Tony.
9:56 had me rollin
Why is there a blur box?
Click on the description. It has a link to the full video in rumble. I’m moving there.
You tube is blocking your video..
Hi Tony, I was getting worried because of the you tube ban on gun videos, I use yours a lot as reference point. Your videos are excellent .Could you please upload these to Full30.com to save them if the ban comes. Thanks, Dave
I've created an account over there and reserved a page. I will move there when they allow me.
Thank You Sir !! I really am glad for this ! Your videos are indispensable.
I can't see
Look at the video description
I use lubriplate milspec 130a grease 😎
Correction 1967 Vietnam USMC
*i run mine completely dry* 😂😂😂
Looks like over kill.
To bad UA-cam blocked the image
anymore greese then covers the surface is a waste and collects sand.
wd40???
Never use WD40 on a firearm.
Do lubriplate reallly expire?
Dammed UA-cam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
disgusting censorship
...W.T.H...
Another waste of my time
Why is it blurred?
To direct people to view the description and be redirected to Rumble. I can't edit the video with a message without removing it all together.
