As a former USAF Combat Arms Training and Maintenance Instructor, I have to say this is a great video with plenty of information for the Greenhorns. When I saw who was doing the video, I figured it was going to be informative. All new AR-15 owners should definitely watch this. Nice job.
Garand Thumb and IV8888 releasing A2 videos at the same time... Conspiracy?? 👽🛸
😂 I just finished watching it
Hummmm
Brings back memories of Ft Benning circa 1993!
1996 1/50th
Love these kinda videos as well, they teach people who will eventually become first time owners a lot of important fundamentals that they will need later on and how to apply them. Not only do i still have a lot to learn, for me it´s also because i don´t know all the english terms yet but need to learn them, so seeing it hands on while hearing/seeing it helps out massivly.
FINALLY!!!! Big boss man back to teaching us how to gunsmith!! I love these videos!!! Yes, I’m sure they’re old news and a pain for you, BUT we appreciate these videos immensely!! Thanks brother! God bless. John 3:16
I smiled when I heard you refer to the Round hand guards on the A2 as " Old School ". hehe
For me Old School hand guards will always be Triangular style hand guards.
Nice OG AR.
I have a 1981 Colt Pre-Ban with no forward assist and still shoot the shit out of it today. With the 20" barrel I still have great velocity even with the 12:1 twist. I enjoy shooting it more than my newer generation AR's (I am old school and sentimental) and it has been very dependable. AR's do however get somewhat temperamental if not consistently maintained and cleaned/lubed, unlike my AK's that are absolute workhorses and eat any ammo without the same need for attention.
AR's are absolutely fun sporting rifles and videos like yours will definitely help new AR owners with proper breakdown and cleaning.
Good stuff!
Welcome back to the we are never going to meltdown a chrome lined socom / hbar barrel upper channel
Because the barrel won’t fail in that config, the gas tube would bust long before the barrel does
Never seen the bone tool before. Pretty cool. I have a different type of scraper. I use pipe cleaners on all the holes of the carrier and bolt as well as the gas key hole. Also use pipe cleaners in the gas tube and around the delta ring. I use the old school Q tips with the paper stick that can be bent to clean the extension at the back of the chamber and behind the teeth. Q tips also work well to clean the rest of the inside of the receiver especially around the gas tube as well as the flash suppressor and crown. Never thought of using a make-up brush. I always used an old school shaving brush to put a light coat of oil on everything. It has worked pretty well for me for the last 44 years.
thats what she said
love seeing eric do these breakdown
Just wanted to say I absolutely love y’all’s content. Informative, educational, neutral but honestly just great to watch. Thank you! Keep em coming. I learn a ton from watching yall.
Thanks IV8888 for all that you do for the audience! another great video
I use the forward assist when I charge the bolt slowly, & quietly when you don't want someone to hear you charge it ..👍😁
Exactly. Nice if you're trying to be quiet.
I just keep mine chambered on fire behind my bed ready to go
@KPad87 yes, I do too, but at some point in time, you may have to chamber a rd., in a situation where you don't want to be seen, or heard..that's the only time I use my forward asist..
Colt not trusting their customers but putting trust in the government is laughable guess they wanted to keep the money man happy that's why I'm glad we have companies like PALMETTO STATE ARMORY
She was a death machine. She kept her chamber clean. She was the best damn rifle that I'd ever seen.
great video, even for self proclaimed seasoned owners! i never knew that bone tool existed! ive been doing it all with brushes and cloths for years....
Thank you. I learned more from you than any science class ive enrolled in
Miss these videos. Have a good Sunday MR 8888
I so appreciate your bench tubes weather I know the information you give or not just super fun and great to hear again stuff thanks Eric for all you do with bench tubes or up to your political tubes love to hear ideas and thoughts from people like me. God bless and stay safe we need you here!!!!!
thanks for taking the time to make this video. i love these long form gunsmithing type videos.
i do as well!
Incredible break down! Can never learn too much
When it comes to lubes and cleaners i love good old fashion Break Free CLP as well as Slip 2000. Both have served me well.
Very long video but very informative . Great content it was a pleasure to watch
Really want to thank you for this excellent video. It helped me a great deal. You're a great teacher.
Great video, reminds me of a less complicated time on guntube!
Awesome rifle! Great cleaning products.
Excellent presentation
What about oil or grease in the slot of the charging handle that the gas key rides in?
11:35 Those inserts are called heat shields in the TMs.
The A.R. works underderest of dirt,grime ect. Cause it has the ability to block dirt from getting into it. The A.K. works under the same conditions cause of its slop and loose clearance. But if you open the bolt on either and or dust cover/ak safety lever it'll jam up quick
Im missing thise gun-smithing videoes 👍👍👍🇩🇰
I live in Washington State! God Help Us!
We're next here in Michigan. The dems have a trifecta for the first time in 70 years. Already 30 bills four just passed with red flag laws safe storage redundant background check and more. Fight like hell bro I'm with you
Move
Stand up for your 2a rights
Stand up for your 2A rights means what? Join GOA, NAGR, ect. Done that. Attend rallies? Done that. Sign petitions? Done that. Call your representatives? Give me a break.
The only way to "Stand up for your 2A rights" is to retire bad politicians. You make taking on an entire political establishment so easy. I'm only 1 voter. I've stood up time and time again thank you much!
I use a little bit of white lithium grease on the recoil spring.
Good video, brother
I've missed this type of video
Off Topic Question: Have you guys ever experimented with Coconuts for targets instead of Watermelons? Literally just thought of it because I'm staring at a palm tree where I am. I thought you know what those would make very satisfying range targets. Especially as they come off the tree with that dense fiberous husk on the outside, then a dense shell, then the flesh and a water pocket in the center. Not quite representative of a human head, somewhat tougher indeed. But now I really want to see what they're like to shoot. I don't know how easy they are to get or how expensive in Georgia but that's gotta be a fun idea XD
Eric your hard guard is directional. Look at the lugs closest to the front sight. One side has the lugs for The bottom of the triangle, the other has the one in the middle For the top of the triangle.
I don't think I've ever seen a cleaning video where the rifle wasn't clean. I would only consider going to this much trouble if I was going to sell the rifle or something. AR-15s will run for THOUSANDS of rounds without detailed cleaning like this as long as you keep them lubed/wet. In fact, some of these techniques and tools (such as scrapers and stuff) will actually cause damage and/or premature wear if you aren't careful or clean your rifle every time you shoot it like an autist with OCD who's addicted to Hoppes no 9 fumes. I use ALG/Geissele Go Juice and a bore snake and pull it through a few times after each trip to the range, and it's all good. Copper deposits are good for me; I'm worried about carbon deposits and potential corrosion in my barrel. I don't use harsh cleaning agents that contain ammonia, especially on chrome-lined bores. Also, the gas ring alignment is a myth. It has been proven that AR-15s will run with only one gas ring present. I stagger mine for good measure because I can, but it's unnecessary.
Iraqveteran8888 pin this comment please!
Good job ... thanks
The military specification for trigger pull weight on an M16A2, M16A4, or M4 is 5.5 to 9.5 pounds. The pull weight for the M4A1 is 5.5 to 8.5 pounds.
Love my Wolf pack 47, but it does me no good without a bcg.
Is it ok to brush a barrel like that? I've heard going back and forth can damage the crown over time.
Always thought the " C" stamps meant "Colt" 🤔
It does. Older carriers have a roll marked C. the bolt has MPC etched on it. It stands for magnetic partical inspected-colt.
Hey guys I would just like to say I love your videos I've been watching you guys for many many years I just want to say God bless both of y'all and keep up the good work now I do have a little bit of a dilemma and I seriously do think that you two can help me out with this as just like you shooting revolvers and 1911 but my dilemma is is that I used to work the armored car industry I carried a Glock model 45 9 mm when I used to work for Loomis and I carried an FN 509 when I worked for brinks very damn good weapons platforms I love those two pistols to death I've always been a rifle person in the middle surplus person but now I'm living paycheck-to-paycheck I'm a low-budget man I only have like six hundred bucks saved up which I know I can find a good platform for 600 or under but could you guys give any good suggestions for a low-budget man living in a really rough neighborhood in Oklahoma City as a good everyday carry I'm six foot three 275 and I have very large hands so I can pretty much concealed-carry about anyting but what about regular full-size pistols for big guys like us can you guys help me out here thank you from Steve
50:36 there's Helical gas rings (one piece) that people can buy, I forgot who makes them though. 👍🏽
If that is a post ban rifle, why does it have a threaded barrel for a flash hider? I have an Olympic PCR ar and all it has is a groove cut in the muzzle.
Raise your hand if you watched this beginning to end. Up!
1:08:23
Bevis and Butthead laughing commences...
Great
Have you ever used the Otis system? No better
the gases also clean the action
Excellent video! Thank you
Everybody else already has their gun apart. Has googled how to clean it and it has it back together. And they are saying quit talking and show us
Careful Eric! Those black rifles are so scary and evil! Watch out, Run!!!
Not sure if cleaning video or Otis commercial lol
There's a wealth of things to learn in this video and its FREE
@@Iraqveteran8888 it's a great video. I love content like this. I miss the old gunsmithing stuff. I subscribed years ago. One of my favorite UA-cam channels.
Marines are too smart to hang rifles by their triggers. We will, however, use the barrel as a lever to open crates.
This video should be about 10-15 minutes long! Holy hell! An hour and a half to strip and clean an AR?? LOL I can completely build one from parts bins in 1/2 hour, maybe 45 minutes if I gauge EVERYTHING. must be a whole lotta talking in between. Just ribbing them, glad to see them showing all the new AR owners in this time of UA-cam censorship of anything gun building/instruction/disassembly and assembly!
1:05:30 Eric, you realize that's a complete myth right? Your gas rings don't matter in terms of being lined up. It doesn't affect anything for them to be lined up like that.
It’s in the military manual.
@@Iraqveteran8888 The military doesn't necessarily know everything about the AR15. I think the loss in gas efficiency would be very small.
I'm not sure, but I think I gained 1 or 2 more freckles doing this.
This video is missing the following disclaimer
"None of this is needed for a PSA rifle. Run it dry. Run it dirty"
Yooooo
It's easier to just spray shit with Ballistol, let it sit for a little bit, scrub it with the tooth brush looking attachment then wipe it clean. Oil it after, and put it back together.
For pretty much everything except for the barrel where the tooth brush won't reach obviously.
Do not use your firing pin as any sort of tool. A damaged firing pin will cause you all kinds of trouble.
You don't use Hikok45 lube&cleaner on your firearms?😅.
Keep the videos coming to Pittsburgh Pa.
I learn somethings from them.
Protect our 2nd amendment rights at all cost 🙏
Don't tread on me.
Ballistal I think is what he uses
Ronald Reagan did that to that auto sear!!!
I shoot him… cause I am always packing.
I prefer OG, low powered optic or iron sights. Tacticool ain’t for this old guy.
My dad's 76 and has been shooting iron sight ARs since they have been around. He loves my red dots, lpvos, and other optics. But he was also a precision shooter and hunter shooting scopes forever. The future is now.
What a piece of sh-t rifle design...frigging O-rings inside of it...Eric calls them gas rings...I've fired 17 rounds through my new Alexander Arms 6.5mm Grendel with 3 failures to extract...sent it back to manufacturer...they stated it had a burr on the extractor and repaired it...have not tested it since then...I may sell it...I prefer my Ruger mini-14 I purchased in 1977. It's lighter and I can flip it from the shoulder position in 1 second...and be firing. It may not be super accurate but 2-3 inches at 100 yards is close enough for government work.
First
Did you have your barrel threaded for the birdcage? Or did you swap barrels?
The idea/act of putting oil in the two holes on the BCG that's an older method. If you want to do it in a different way.. I'm just going to tell you how I do it. And it's worked all my life...
There are four contact points on that bolt carrier group that need to be lubricated. And I recommend using gun butter it's thick and tacky and it lasts.
I don't really see the purpose of having to put oil in those two holes and then put three or four drops behind it I mean that would run the firearm awfully wet wouldn't it? And well that unburned powder and smoke and whatnot that's coming dunk it up a whole lot faster.
I don't know I don't do it the way you described in this video but that's just me. To each his or her own.
Come in from the rear n' giver a lil' shove😅
