[SpooksHill]

[JasonLeeBybee]

[JasonLeeBybee]

You need a HD Camera like really bad lol but naw man very informative vid well done

[ekaj8]

@JasonLeeBybee Yea, I made this video 3 years ago and HD cameras weren't very common back in those dark ages.

[REDdawn6]

Thanks man . Nice write up .

[liamkemp19]

I know this might sound strange but is this a real rifle for live amunition?

[johnmc54]

Great video. Very informative. Thanks.

[naenaesman]

Its called an Extractor spring!!! the spring in the buttstock is called a buffer spring and the pin that its on is called a buffer!!!

[Feelthepaintoo]

Thanks. I just bought a new DPMS and have no idea of what I need to clean it with and how. I know urs is a Bushmaster. But this video is VERY HELPFULL

[malaymercernary]

just imagine yourself cleaning your rifle in mosquito infested jungle during the monsoon raining season. that's the fuckin reason why they fuckin lost vietnam war.

[bansheeraptors]

[Robertjcksn40]

[fizlard6997]

[wwe2337480]

the birds dont bother me but just for the heck of it you should go shoot them with that ar

[kylebstiff]

Dude, don't be apologizing so much! It's all good.

[novarod]

Thanks for putting this together. My Stag Model 2 breaks down exactly the same way.

[xxhotfiaaaxx]

soggy bottom boys haha nice gun

[MrShotgunjim]

So do you have to clean the gas tube at all?

[79pensacola]

love the oh brother where art thou intro

[chrishaslam131]

thanks dude video really help. I got 1 quest does these instructions work with the Ruger SR-556. Also great video the quality could have been a little better but overall great job

[ekaj8]

im not very familiar with the ruger but if i understand it, the main difference is it uses a piston system, so everything in this video should still apply to the sr-556

[joefender1]

Nice job--your video helped me. Thanks

[CChiaravalli95]

this may sound stupid but im getting my firt rifle and i already have a 22, would a 22 cleaning brush work with a .223 or 5.56 like most every AR-15s are? thanks

[ekaj8]

thats not a stupid question, im not 100% sure of the answer but i believe that a .22lr bore brush will work. i have a brush that was labeled .223, but as i said i think a .22 will work

[CChiaravalli95]

thanks, just that people are so critical on utube any way i could see how it would work seeing how .223 is only a thousanth of an inch wider than .22

[RacerXGTO]

Yes.

It will work. I've owned my AR for over 10 years, .22 brushes work fine.

(Note, 5.56 NATO is specific to ammunition. It's a higher pressure load. The short answer is, do not load 5.56 ammo in your .223 varmint rifle. The AR-15 is capable of both .223 and NATO spec. That's all that means)

[Yousonofabitchfucker]

Good video, very informative and detailed.

[Demarzo1000]

Good video very informative

[hklsy]

Good video, very detailed

[techme06]

get a bipod

[koji2528]

When we had to return our rifles to the armory, they had to be spotless. You could wear a white glove and run your finger inside the upper receiver through the ejection port and there wouldn't be a spot on it.

[koji2528]

I hope you clean the upper receiver where the bolt carrier group slides in, especially where the gas tube hooks up. Also, I'm with the guy below me. Use CLP, its standard issue in the Corps. CLP does three things. It contains solvents to dissolve firing residue and carbon, it lays down a layer of teflon as it dries to lubricate, and it prevents rust from forming.

[syea99]

lol dude dont be so sloppy with the ckeaner that shit givers u mad cancer. and clean it every time u finish firing it or it will start jamming and even rusting.

[USPLove78]

How do you clean the lugs near the chamber? A lot of carbon builds up inside past the lugs..

[syea99]

quetip. but u know what the best thing to do is? for the lugs? as well as the lower erceiver and the rest of the upper is just fuckin hose it down. cuz the lube we use in the army also prevents it from rust so if the shit u use does to just do that. take a hose to the fucker and CLP the shit out of it. and it will work SOO fucking well after

[verizonzone]

It is good video, i learned somthing. Thank you

[emtffzartman]

Not bad... I like the rifle a lot.. What distance do you shoot at? How accurite is that rifle set up?

[ekaj8]

I shoot at the CMP national games at Camp Perry OH. And in a normal rifle match I shoot offhand (standing) slow fire at 200yrds, sitting rapid fire at 200yrds, prone (laying down) rapid fire at 300yrds, and prone slow fire at 600yrds. Although I have never personally shot from 1,000yrds I know a few guys who do shoot .223 ARs back at 1000.

The rifle is more accurate than I am, it has the ability to shoot 2-3in groups at 600yrds, although with my skill I am happy to shoot 5-6in groups

[emtffzartman]

Wow. Thats pretty sweet. Did you see any of my video's? Have a lot on AR-15

[mailman37645]

Another thing to check would be your gas gaskets on the bolt. After you get the bolt all back together pull the bolt ejector all the way out and stand it on it's end. If the bolt ejector goes back in then the gas gaskets need to be replaced. If it doesn't then the gaskets are OK. Of course if the gaskets are worn then they will not hold the weight and the extractor will be forced back into the carrier. This function will allow you to see if you need to replace the gas gaskets.

[mailman37645]

Good vid. I have a Colt AR15 .223 barrel and I have the 5.56 and 7.62 barrels. I have found that instead of using oil on the moving parts (that get hot) I use wheel bearing grease (just a tad) because it will stay when the weapon gets hot. Only put a small dab on the parts that rub together. Do you know how to change barrels on the AR15? Never had to chng barrels only maintenance stuff. If you know how to change the barrels could you post a vid on that also? Semper Fi and thanks.

[ekaj8]

thanks for the advice, I have heard of people using grease for lube but I bought a bunch of oil in bulk and I figure I have enough to last me about 2 more years

Sorry, i have never replaced a barrel so I can't help you there. I hope you figure it out. SF

[chucksheen]

Thanks!

Have you read Ron Paul yet?

"The Revolution A Manifesto" was #1 NYT & Amazon! It just received an achievement for "most beloved book of 2008"!

[mindshredder]

Thanks for making this clip. I'll be cleaning my Stag 15 today for the first time,so its good to watch someone take apart an AR15 and clean it.Even if your camera did run out of memory,you did a good job.

[pyroigniter]

I ordered a Armalite AR-10 and it should be here in a few weeks, Is the disassembly about the same?

PS good informative video.

Danny M

[ekaj8]

I do not own an armalite, but I believe the dis assembly is the same; there could be some minor differences that I don't know about. i hope this video helps

[rileytbowman]

Ummm....AR15 and AR10 are totally different weapons, in case you didn't know. AR15 is .223 platform and AR10 is .308 platform.

[kennyworth1967]

Great video..

I'm an old Army vet and I recently bought an AR-15.I forgot how to clean the bolt and firing pin.

Sometimes you gotta ask the youngsters.LOL..

Thanks for the step by step.Very helpful!

[ekaj8]

Glad I can help

[tecna64]

seriously? what division where you in and whats ur MOS?

[kennyworth1967]

I was a Cavalry Scout (19 D) with the Second AND Third Armored Cavalry Regiments.

84-88

[youare901]

If I were going to make an instructional video I would make sure I had all the parts!

[ekaj8]

What are you talking about? I have all the "parts." Please be more specific in your criticism.

[BUENMUNDO]

I think he was making reference to when you said. " There is a male and a female adapter. I can't find the female adapter..." @ 0:42-0:53 of your video.

Nevertheless still good movie.

[rockhardxrocker]

what about cleaning the gas tube?

[mvadinan540]

Good Question Rockhardxrocker I have a Olymic Arms Pre Ban M4 I would like to know about cleaning the Gas Tube.... HELP!!!

[TheMurt38]

Hey, I had a question for you guys -- I can't seem to take apart the barrel to the point where I can re-align the cooling device surrounding it. How would I go about doing this? Thanks in advance, and the videos helped a lot!

[sollrosenbergg]

I fart this song alot when cleaning my VMATCH

[buknaked007]

Thanks for posting!

[randytune88]

now i got a romainan ak 47 for 300 dollars looking to buy a ar15 how much do the run for any one?

[chris38355]

i got a S&W for 800 but seen them anywhere from there to 1400...they have a website with a dealer locator I would get on there and call em all..how u like the ak?

[RP88]

your basic ARs can be had for a bit under 600 if you know what you're looking for. Your next steps up run about 750-900. Then from there you have your more popular brands (Colt, Stag, LMT, Nov) that run about 1000-1200+

[sollrosenbergg]

Can you show the removal of the forearm and cleaning of the gas port ?

[ekaj8]

I'll try to but my camera is down right now, you might be able to find another video on youtube, sorry that I cant help right now

[REJA0001]

could you do a video showing us how to do the function test.

thank

by the way it was a great demostration.

[ekaj8]

I will try, I am going to do a video on how to properly use the sling and I will try to do the function test in that video

Thanks for the sugestion

[gianalyn]

nice one thanks a lot this will help me clean my ar 15 rockriver...

[novice8814]

Thanks for the demo. There's alot of ways to put your sling on wrong. Would you show us how to put it on right. And show us the proper use of the sling in the standing and sitting positions?

[ekaj8]

You are correct that there are a lot of ways to put a sling on wrong and there are a few correct ways, mine is actually set up differently from almost everyone I know, but it works best for me. Where I shoot competitions the rules state that you must have a sling on the rifle at all times although it is not used in standing. I didn't think about making a video on how to use a sling but that is a good idea, I will try to put a video out in a short while.

[rigoletto68]

Nice Demo...thanks.... I'd like to get my Bushmaster or Armalite in the next couple of weeks...

[suspect2012]

do you then run a clean patch before you shoot or does it not matter.. also do you do the 3 consecutive days of cleaning thing? seems like overkill to clean it three days in a row without shooting to me.

[ekaj8]

I dont run a patch through before I shoot, I don't think it matters

I have never heard of the three day cleaning thing, but if it is what I understand it to be it does seem like overkill

[suspect2012]

i have read you should always leave something in the bore to protect it.. to "keep corrosive evils at bay". Guy from Sinclair Intl. wrote you should run a patch of a very light oil like Kroil or Hoppes through when your done.. is this advisable?

[ekaj8]

My high-power coach told me it was a good idea to do this, but my buddy says it is unnecessary. I trust my coach more than my friend so I run a patch through the bore with some lube on it when I am done cleaning the rifle (hoppes works the best)

[tyrvidar]

good stuff, getting my first AR tomorrow, I learned more in your 9 mins then I could anywhere else.

[ekaj8]

thanks

[suspect2012]

much appreciated, just bought an AR and been spending hours reading about how to clean it, still was a little confused. thank you!

[08231956]

Thanks much! It's the little things that confuse me, like trying to put the bolt crosspin in when the extractor is on the wrong side. A quick review of this, and I cleaned my AR in record time yesterday!

[s10guy]

Excellent video. You may have saved my life. lol. I was attempting to put the bolt in backwards. After half an hour of wrestling with it, I said I'll check the net and found this video. Thanks again man.
