Basic AR15 introduction, AR15 operation

[karachiyan]

Thanks for the Intro Kafir :D

[fongpangchow1]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful considering i like to see how to do something alongside reading the owners manual to make sure i get a correct understanding. Just picked up my dti delton today and tomorow i get to test her out. Very Helpfull !!

[excurrahee]

@fongpangchow1 Glad you like it, be sure to check out the rest as you learn more about your gun.

[SmokedTurkeyBird]

Nice shirt, haha.

[SC4211]

Thanks for posting this video. My brother and I will be meeting with our dad at a shooting range to fire an AR-15, and I'm sure this will help out. By the way, any recommendations for first time shooters? As in, and advice for anything?

[excurrahee]

@SC4211 Be safe, learn from your mistakes and have fun.

[MrClaysta]

ill be picking up an S&W MP 15 soon, thank you for this informative video

[VideoNut81]

Some would argue that some of the stuff you inform on is "common sense". I on the other hand believe that I would much rather depend on routine and practice, than "common sense". I just recently bought my VERY OWN AR-15. I have found your videos to be easy to follow and incredibly informative. Very thorough stuff. Good job dude.

[excurrahee]

@VideoNut81 Most guys think; "oh yeah I can operate a gun." Like its coded on the Y chromosome or something. But shooting and firearm manipulation is a thing that is improved through repetitive training. People think my videos are basic shooting, but there really is no such thing as advanced shooting. There are only the basics - applied to a higher standard, at a higher speed and under changing circumstances.

I'm glad you like the vids, help spread them around.

[BonhommeHero]

Nice beginner introduction video. Very informative. I like the effort put behind the production.

[TheYoungster17]

@batz420 Haha thanks man, no need to worry, the old bill have it under control, it makes me laugh how this all started because of money issues, who do they think is going ot pay for the damages?

And I think I'm safe around here, unless people start rioting through suffolk in tractors again...

[161bullseye]

I'm a girl gunner about to step into the wild world of 3-Gun and this video helped me thru my first rifle match, soon to get my own custom carbine Built! Thanks, you rock!

[excurrahee]

@161bullseye Glad it helped and I hope you enjoy the three gunning. Be sure to watch the rest of my vids, especially "AR15 Handling"

[TheYoungster17]

I'm going to be a total dick and say this, but to call a weapon a gun is wrong, "gun" is used to describe artillery pieces, especially naval bourne weaponary, hence navy gunnery. use the term weapon or rifle or call it by it's real name. I have no idea why it grind my gears.

Unless it is just in the uk we do this.

[excurrahee]

@TheYoungster17 I hate to be a dick about this, but do ya'll even get to own things like this in the UK? I stopped worrying about the semantic line between gun and weapon the day I got my discharge papers.

[BonhommeHero]

@TheYoungster17 It's a commonly accepted term. If I went to a bank tomorrow and yelled "I HAVE A GUN, GET DOWN", the people inside would have no second-thoughts. The immediate thing to enter their mind is the image of either a handgun, or a rifle. I highly doubt that they'd be imagining me holding a naval artillery piece.

So yes... I think it's just a problem you have.

[BonhommeHero]

@TheYoungster17 Also, if you were to search in a dictionary, or an online one, or one on your computer, you would find that they all refer the term "gun" to firearms. In fact, it incorporates all weapon systems that fire projectiles from long metal tubes. Example definition from internet: a weapon incorporating a metal tube from which bullets, shells, or other missiles are propelled by explosive force, typically making a characteristic loud, sharp noise.

[fastbikeswarmgunz]

OUTSTANDING VIDEO! UR GONNA BE A GD GENERAL ONE DAY GUMP!..!!!!!JUST KIDDING!!! seriously, this video just made up my mind on buying an AR. A friend of mine has one and ive been considering purchasing a doublestar or dpms for $ reasons as a starting platform. but never having fired one i was about 2 buy a springfield xd in .40 and a berg 590A1 9 shot 12 guage.. or a 20" 870 tac. I've shot both extensively. but i wanted a carbine. this vid sold me. THANK YOU

[excurrahee]

@fastbikeswarmgunz Glad it was helpful. Those other guns are good to have also, especially the pistol if concealment is an issue. But, in my opinion, the intermediate carbine is the best fighting weapon available to civilians legally in the US.

[jorgec5151]

@fastbikeswarmgunz If you wanna buy AR-15 take a look at SIONICS, they have a video on youtube. look em up.

[GeoffsUtubeAccount]

This acutally really help me learn a few things I didnt know before I am going to be buying an ar here in the next few months so I just wanna say thank you for posting this video

[excurrahee]

@GeoffsUtubeAccount Glad it was helpful, Make sure you check out the rest of them.

[TheJuice25210]

Do I need to lube the bolt or just the bolt carrier at all?

[excurrahee]

@TheJuice25210 Light coat of oil on the bolt, the cam pin, the carrier and the charging handle.

[yaiba89]

This video is going to be very helpful for me next fall, as I'm going to purchase an ar-15 variant for practical shooting, and I've only operated the Sako Rk 62 (Finnish version of AK-47) when I was in the army and during refresment training, so it's going to take some time to get used to a new type of automatic-rifle. Your rifle drills video was also very informative, you clearly know what you're talking about. Keep up the good work!

[excurrahee]

@yaiba89 Glad you like it, help spread the word

[jedbeddo1]

i like your shirt :D

[kupukupu415]

As a first time AR owner, I just want to say thank you for your highly informative video. I appreciated the help very much!

[Mindbr33ze]

Is that a UC hat? :)

[hateliberals1]

Great shirt

[Vietboy1st]

this is boring.. i just wasted 2 mins of my life watching this.

[excurrahee]

@Vietboy1st I'm sorry it wasn't as exciting as dressing up and playing with your airsoft toys.

[dedzone]

@Vietboy1st You are a disgrace and you make Asians look bad. You like Final Fantasy VIII, you should be the last person to be giving any one crap.

[basskillaz]

brought a preban colt ar15 20' hbar, i haven't got to fire it yet,its suppose to be brand new,. but i noticed once i pull the charge handle it dont snap back like in the video, i have to manually push it back, is there something wrong with it?

[excurrahee]

@basskillaz The charging handle will only go forward if the bolt is going forward. If you lock the bolt back, or there is an empty magazine in, you will have to push it forward.

[basskillaz]

@excurrahee yea its a empty magazine,.im new to the ar15, i was a ak47 man but im making the switch!

[cededog]

Great vid man, hopefully vids like these will help me get a leg up for boot

[fixdeluxe1]

Great video!

[silvercivic203]

can u say special operations?? haha

[myinternetisdown]

nice video dude

[bobseverson323]

good vid, thanks.

[agbfree]

New operator here. Your vids have been a fantastic reference for me , so i thank you for that!! Wondering if you could make a solid sling recomendation. rifle is bushie xm15 standard forearm. open to adding connectors/plates. prob prefer two point as it appers you use. Thanks again.

[excurrahee]

I use an IDF two point sling. It attaches to the butt-stock and front sight post with parachute cord. the main readon I like these is because they do a good job and are super cheap. Also very popular for a two point "assault" type sling is the Vickers Tactical or "VTAC" sling. I wouldn't mess with anything but a two point.

[Mxkicker14]

nice shirt..

[dp665]

question. i have an armalite ar180b gas piston in 556 nato. and i have been thinking about trading it in for a dmps in 556 nato and getting a gas piston kit for it. would that be a good idea or should i stick with what i have.

[excurrahee]

I work on the principle that if something is working well, don't replace it. If the 189B is doing well for you, stick with it. If I was going to replace it I would stick with a traditional direct impingement AR- as gas piston ARs have not been around for long enough to have proven themselves reliable to me (especially the motley collection of brands that have forced out many versions)

[excurrahee]

189B was a typo- should have said 180B

[Dmajorproductions]

ar180 in 5.56?

thats something else!

the ar180 is 7.62 isnt it?

[dp665]

no both the ar180 and ar180b are chambered in 5.56 nato. the ar 10 is chambered in 7.62x51

[mujahedeen1987]

kafir

[excurrahee]

Is that supposed to be an insult?

[uspi]

Kafir means "infidel dog" in english and is supposed to be an insult.

Good and informative videos!

[dakobster8]

RRA is pretty good I'd say they are on the same level with a bushmaster. Look at a BCM though, they are in that same price range and in my opinion are better, especially for your bolt carrier group, definitely recommend BCM

[dakobster8]

Colts are not worth the money they designed the original M4 and are the manufacturer that produces for the military so they are way overpriced. If you are looking for a top quality brand look at Daniel Defense, Noveske, and Lewis Machine and Tool, I feel like I'm forgetting another one, CMMG and BCM are good too and are a little cheaper

[666Vertigo]

Rock River Arms?

[sumrandomaccount420]

"Place your loaded magazines outta the way so you dont accidentally grab them while your.. examining the weapon" LMFAO that is priceless dude ahahahaa, love the videos man

[12GaugeLosAngeles]

rifle as a PRIMARY home defense gun? no, unless your home is a bunker, use a shotgun bro. think of the kids, too many have died from stray bullets.

[excurrahee]

The vast majority of police entry teams disagree. Any shotgun round that is a reliable man-stopper penetrate interior household walls as badly as a 5.56. Less, if TAP rounds are used. The secret is hits on target-not into walls. Add to that the fact that the AR carries more round on board and that it is much easier to handle than a 12 gauge shotgun (especially w/women) the AR is a winner. But if you know how to handle a shotgun it is a perfectly acceptable choice, as are most modern pistols.

[marklar0241]

30 rounds of 5.56 indoors? in a neighborhood?

[SickGameVideos]

Is it illegal to purchase an AR-15? Because on the side of the weapon it says "Only for Law Enforcement/Military use".

If it is legal where would you recommend purchasing one?

[excurrahee]

Not in most states, that is a relic of the 1994-2004 "assault weapons ban." You need to check your local and state laws.

[SickGameVideos]

Is it legal to own one in Colorado?

[excurrahee]

I believe so, if a gun store will sell it to you it's going to be legal. I am not in Colorado and not fully aware of their laws.

[SickGameVideos]

Oh, okay, thanks for the help. I'll look into it.

[missionxo]

yes it is i live in Aurora Co. I have a Bushmaster. Check out 5280 armory the best selection in the Denver area

[SickGameVideos]

Thanks alot.

[aandrew610]

perfectly legal in most states

[TCU08]

Great Video, I just purchased my first AR-15 and found your video very helpful. Many Thanks.

[decoder111]

Perfect video man! I have a RRA m4 entry I like the carry handle look and put a Acog on it. Replaced the plastic hand guards with a midwest industires quad rail and vertical grip. I am looking to buy a Gsg 5 rifle next =)

[mallon42]

thanks for the vid man, I'm buying an AR with my tax return and was looking to find out how to operate it and field strip it, it's a tad more complicated than my AK... lol

[CMLovejoy]

Whats better for all around use the rifle or the carbine?

[excurrahee]

tha kind of depends what the "all around" is. But I would say that for the majority of folks it would be a carbine. You've got great terminal velocity out to about 100m and decent out to about 300. In a much handier package.

[CMLovejoy]

What brand would you recommend?

I was looking at Bushmaster.

[excurrahee]

Bushmaster is a fine out of the box brand. One of the best if don't want to jump through special hoops to get the best possible. Meaning, you can just pick one up at a gun store and not track down parts etc. The best you ever see complete at gun stores is Colt, others nice ones would be Stag, Rock River and Smith and Wesson. There are certain features you should look for depending on what your intended use is. Send me a message if you want more specific advice.

[Hitari0]

If it went back, it would mess up your face!

[vascularcylinder]

LOL!!!

[murphdogdog18]

great video. very informative.

[ejbock]

Hey currahee!

I sent you an email through your website. Just curious if you got it because I'm anxious to get started either on my AR build or just grabbing that CMMG MOD4SA. If for some reason you didn't get the email, I was basically asking if you had any opinions about the CMMG MOD4SA...I'm a bit suspect due to it's price.

Thanks!

[excurrahee]

message received and replied to.

[ejbock]

I bought the CMMG. I had put money down for a $1300 custom AK-103, got home, realized my folly, then went back to the shop and bought the AR-15. I'm much happier with the AR than I would be with the AK. I've got my BCG here in front of me practicing disassembly/reassembly. Thanks for your help!

[fateshand217]

whats better brand for ar-15 on ur opinion,dpms er bushmaster?

[ejbock]

I'm trying to decide on an AR-15 as well, and there are so many brands and such a huge price range, it's very difficult to choose!

[excurrahee]

I put together my own ARs. The most important things to look for are a chrome lined barrel and a true 5.56 chamber. Next thing is a quality w/ a properly staked carrier key and quality extractor. Of the factory rifles you mention The Bushy has most of these things out of the box, don't know about the DPMS, but over all a Bushmaster is high in the middle of the pack of AR builders a DPMS is low in the middle. I would build my own (PM me if you have ?s) in leu of that I would buy the Bushy.

[Cbizzl]

I dont know much about AR's, that being said. Why a chrome lined barrel? How can I tell if the carrier key and extractor are good? I was thinking of a Rock River,Stag or Bushmaster. Good vids too, helping people who aren't "operators"(lol) understand firearms. well done :)

~molon labe~

[dakobster8]

chrome lined barrels are more durable and tend to see less problem than a standard steel barrel. Also I'd look for something with good feed ramps, and you want to give some thought to which gas system you want(carbine, midlength, or rifle), this should depend on how long your barrel will be. For a 14.5" which you'll need an attachment to meet min. length requirements I'd go carbine, if your barrel is 16" go midlength, if it is 20" or longer go rifle

[dakobster8]

bushmaster, dmps is no good, also look at CMMG and BCM(bravo company) if you are looking in this price range

[lti12]

whats wrong with bushmaster? I hear people like it

[dakobster8]

nothing is wrong with bushmaster, i was answering the question what is better bushmaster or dpms. Bushmaster is solid I will say for the same amount of money though you can get a BCM (bravo company), and I'd say that's better than a bushy, but bushy's are solid too

[lolliepolly]

haha,kaffir (infidel)! I love your tee :)

[excurrahee]

It gets me quite a few funny looks. It's even started a decent conversation or two.

[labartic]

Thanks for putting these kinds of vids up, its a service to fellow citizens in my opinion. Hopefully more sheep will wake up!

[excurrahee]

Well, help me splash some water in their faces! Glad you like the video.
