Midwest is quickly becoming my favorite brand. After trying the combat rail it’s been down hill since then for my wallet.
Love the combat rail👌
I've watched enough AVE videos to confidently proclaim; This device has a high content of fiber glass reinforcement in the polymer mixture. Looks like a quality part.
I recently bought a HG from Midwest Industries. I can attest that they make high quality products. Definitely support this company making quality products right here in the USA.
check the mould marks!!!! HDPE 60 is my guess
Perhaps for future iterations, magnetize the small parts tray and add a Grip Zone so I know where to hold it.
That's the first thing I thought too, but then I considered that they may have thought of that and omitted it due to not wanting to magnetize the small parts themselves (so they won't attract small metallic debris when installed back in the gun).
Not sure if that would be a legit issue... **shrugs**
I always install the trigger guard pin with my vise. I use my KAK bolt catch starter punch to get it seated just enough to hold it in place. Then I pop the front detent/screw in and swing the trigger guard up and slowly close my vise. I use hard-ish plastic jaws and it cranks the pin in with steady pressure. It makes installing it simple and you don't have to worry about smacking the ears with a hammer. It may need a slight tap to get it seated but it's always worked phenomenally well for me.
Midwest Industries is by far one of the most underrated AR parts companies ever.
I've bought bench blocks from just about every company who makes them trying to find one that'll work to hold the gas block in place while I'm driving in that roll pin and out of all of them only 1 halfway works. I don't build AR's for a living but I do put a few together a month or work on a few so this is a no brainer especially since they figured out a way to hold the gas block in place. Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
GREAT sound effects and step zooms. Ordered mine this afternoon.
This is perfect. I need a gas block jig and a lower block. Aaaaand it’s out of stock.
UA-cam suggested your video right after one I shared. Nice work VSO.
I was just at Midwest Industries I live right by them. John and Shaun are awesome guys. I put almost all Midwest furniture on my vska. And they say I did good buying the vska. Super good guys
Damn, this sure beats the hell out of using a collection of tools for assembling a lower. Thanks Kurt for bringing this to our attention. I don't build a lot of them, maybe 1 per year or so, but still, I'd extra for the right tool for the job all day long.
Right as you said "show you what it's all about," my mind immediately went to The Slingshot Channel's "Let me show you its features!"
Literally just ordered one off of AIM Surplus, I’ve got 4 lowers I need to assemble and I was dreading it because I haven’t built a lower yet and this being my first time doing it this block will make for an easier process!
Only Midwest product I have is an aimpoint mount and it's super solid. Been very happy with it.
MWI is literally just over 4 miles away from me. IMO they're the best in the area. Planning on stopping by to pick one of these up. Thanks.
Excellent review ill be buying the rod and the block thank you.
Exactly what I need for my LR 308. Thanks!
Awesome video
Well... You've sold me
Tabletop review is a chad move
Definitely have to pick one up for the bench when the things available.
I’m getting n right now thank you for the info
Brother I know what 350 legend is I’m north of you over in Michigan we have that silly straight walled case hunting rule also. Even though the minimum cartridge width is .357 and 350 legend is .355 also I know saami says .355 to .357 but my barrels won’t go into battery with projectiles sized to .357. All that bologna aside Midwest Industry makes some dam good stuff. I always buy there products when doing a AR build quality at a reasonable price point. I’m definitely going to have to save up my ducketts and pick up that lower assembly block. I’m definitely glad to see they also made one for the larger AR10 lowers good stuff right there.
I have been assembling lowers for years without this product and have had zero issues with losing/breaking parts. Crazy.
If you're bored you could always build night vision on the cheap with the kids
I need to pick one of these up
Glad they made those gas block thru holes. I always drive my pins 1/2 inch through the gas block. (Sarcasm)
Dammit!! I needed one of these but was waiting because the other options suck!! Now I gotta place an order Lol
Nice thumbs up and shared.
Immediately bought in US because gun things are not easy to find in Europe. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Nice
i started 15 months ago-it would have been nice to have.. I got the real avid multi block- works great , but it was missing a few things, and this fills the missing spots, and then some ! I still need a manufacturer to create a more positive charging handle latch block, that pinches the latch while adding extensions!!
...ordered one from Brownells - should be here day after tomorrow...
Agree!!! Trigger guard always 1st. Mag catch 2nd.
You have significantly underestimated my determination to be a Neanderthal. Hammer go boom boom.
Great video!
Was that enthusiasm or coffee?
Looks like a great product.
Thanks.
I really like that, I'll buy one.
Nifty.
I foresee issues with lowers that have ambi buttons, odd shapes like say a mega arms or a radian lower or a LMT lower. Otherwise, I'm probably gonna grab one.
that looks like my work bench. never lose my tools, i just can't find them.
Need to add a earth magnet in storage compartment area, I’ll wait for Gen 2
Holy crap!!! Clean up your bench!!! I know the bench gremlins like to make parts disappear when benches look like that!!! (Though I have no room to talk, mine is a mess right now)
its part of the trope
Wheeler block is better, especially for the forward assist install that this MI product doesn't have.
the upper receiver rod is the product you need
This is a good tool for what it's designed for. You could remove a little material for those grips used. I'm sure they would approve. The fact it's American made and works for gas blocks is great. You must not like made in China. As Wheeler makes a very good AR-15 bench block that works for lowers and uppers as well and will even work for the bcg. So does Real Avid now ( which I haven't used yet ). But that broken AR-15 vise block looked suspiciously like the bottom of a Wheeler tool.
How tight is it when using it in the mag well? Will the lower flex when torquing the castle nut?
As a home user......not building rifles super often.....couldn't I use this in place of the first tool in the video? Yes, not as structurely sound for barrel work, but it would hold the lower/upper "well enough" to remove/install a barrel, correct?
I’m getting That
Tools are not boring.
Their rod is amazing, I'm about to replace my botach.
Forward controls design GBU is the best gas block tool.
Plastic/Polymer... Tomato/Tamato...
People making a distinction between the two are doing so to differentiate between poor quality plastics and high quality plastics that have better qualities like high fiberglass content for structural reinforcement. It's not tomato/tomato. There are real differences.
@1:40 I thought This Old Tony took over.
Midwest Industries makes great hardware but I still prefer the tools made by Real Avid. You should check them out, they're truly amazing and well priced.
💥😎4 EHT MHTIROGLA 👍🇺🇸
“Nobody know what 350 legend is…
Obviously you haven’t tried to buy bullets for it from a retail store 😂
👍
wonder if i can make one on my resin printer
All hail the Algorithm!
Once someone makes a tool that finds the lost pivot/takedown pin detents that inevitably yeet themselves across the shop THEN I'll be impressed... 😅
DAMN, Out of Stock!!!!!
4.6x30 is no mystery. By HK
Is it wrong to just use some pliers to push in the gas block roll pin? Wide mouth ones cut for nuts, it took me like 10 seconds.
You might be disrupting the spring function of the roll pin by pressing it in but only you know your process.
@@VSO_Gun_Channel Its still in there hundreds of rounds later so I probably didn't mess it up.
Like yer degree deodorant in the tool/etc pile 😂🤣 when yer into it deep degree is there to help you unstink haha but good video! Better to have a multi tool/block than to have multiple tools/blocks... Kinda sold me over the Brownells orange front sight block here💪😎 this blue block can be modified with a drill press an etc too so if you hate anything you can accurately make it better to your liking... Better than a block of the good ol hardwood! 🤣
I guess if you work with enough ar's it's worth it.
going to reverse engineer and 3d print this =)
3d print it
😎🇺🇸🍺
Is it just me, or does this seem a bit underwhelming for 40 bucks?
So you guys don't shim the trigger guard wings with your wiener like I do??? Fml I'm always the last to know
You're not wrong though. It is boring in the gun industry at the moment.
no. lame.
