Almost didn't catch the 'That's what she said' joke at 11:11

[DrDaveArson]

That front sight/gas block is pretty slick, I might add that to my wish list for my future AR build.

[MrCaptainNObeard]

every upper i have looket at say :no bolt, "bolt carrier or charging handle included" do they sell uppers that include these parts?

[SoCalPreppers]

@MrCaptainNObeard yes.. what you would search for is a "complete" upper... that will come with everthing and most likely the barrel as well.

[MrCaptainNObeard]

@SoCalPreppers thanks man,as you can tell im new to this.

[SoCalPreppers]

@MrCaptainNObeard no worries bud, we all have to start some where!

[chaddncorey]

@SoCalPreppers mega arms......check it out

[bobsolla]

@MrCaptainNObeard yes they do!look for complete uppers on a google search!not sure what your looking for!

[notanotherCoDfan]

will any upper work with any lower? like a DPMS upper and a bushmaster lower??? i need help :(

[SoCalPreppers]

@notanotherCoDfan for sure. some will mate better, with little or no movement between the two , but for the most part, all mill spec parts will marry other mil spec parts very well.

[notanotherCoDfan]

@SoCalPreppers thank you. ive been wanting an AR15, but i wanted to build one to fit me better then just buying one :)

[Whitehorze]

@notanotherCoDfan No. Colt had a special version called the SP1. It used a larger front pin in order to prevent the colt upper from being used on other lower receivers.

It's rare to find one but they are out there. If your buying used, make sure the holes are the same size and you'll have no problems.

GREAT Lesson very well explained thank you.

[argueta1999]

Even if your'e the " nine thousandth person to build an AR on youtube" if your the only one who has a comprehensive video, i think that counts more. Good video, this will help much when i get my parts.

dont stop preparing for what the apacolypse

[SIERRAHPBT]

Hi I could not find where to send you a PM but was wondering if you have a video on how to headspace. I have a few old A2 style uppers I want to change out and would like to be able to head space just to double check.

[SoCalPreppers]

@SIERRAHPBT look around on youtube, there are tons of videos and lots on that subject... but it believe it it s function of barrel torque.

[83DRIFTKING]

nice Rolex man ... is it real?

[SoCalPreppers]

@83DRIFTKING probbly... father left it to me when he passed last year.

[Daflaminasian]

Is it necessary to check headspacing? I'm planning to build my own ar 15 and I'm afraid that if I don't it may explode and possibly kill me as told by other ar 15 builders

[SoCalPreppers]

@Daflaminasian it is important, but the way you have to torque the barrel sown it makes it almost physicaly imposible to have too little headspace. but you do have to make sure to dont have too much...

the star nut makes it reallyhard to mess this up.
