I'm subbin!!! You've done this a few times. I think I found my goto guy! Ive NEVER watched a long vid... that said, what happened between 12:08 and 12:09? I see you removed everything from the vice, the pins were installed opposite in the block after... I like that idea with the loctight at the gas block. Just did my bros, gonna have to take it apart and set the threads and loctite the block. Ahhh, forgot a piece, who needs directions! Where'ld u get the wrench? Its NICE! Faved.
@dnahoghunter I had to take it out and tap the gas tube roll pin a hair more. The handguards were a tight fit and the pin was sticking out a little too much on one side. I think I got the wrench from Brownell's, it's a DPMS armorer's tool.
Can you make a list of parts that you will need to make this so i dont have to look through the vid and find things that look like it , "not for me im only 14 :P for the other people"
@eatasammich I usually don't bother but you can remove the ejector from your bolt and make sure it goes into battery (rotates to engage the locking lugs) on the GO gage and doesn't go on the NO-GO gage.
@oya691 About $1100 total without optics. It would be good for coyotes or slightly larger animals at mid range. It could take deer at shorter ranges with proper bullet selection.
Do you have a recommendation of the best place to by the kits from? Also a list of parts that you need that don't come with them. I want to do a first build AR10 308, but the web sites are many and confusing so far as what to order.
@stalwartman I've never dealt with AR-10s. I know on them it makes a difference what manufacturer's receivers you are using. I don't have much info for you I'm afraid, sorry.
you did know the gas block is the hottest part around the barrel right? so why use locktite blue....even red comes off with low heat? why use any at all?
@tundraotto After running 1000 rounds through this rifle (mostly rapid fire) I tried to take the gas block off a couple days ago to swap onto another rifle and it wouldn't budge. It does the job. When you heat LocTite it just breaks down into a powder, it doesn't re-liquify. I put quite a bit of torque on the gas block but it didn't even try to rotate out of position.
Nice build, Thinking of building my own, just a basic AR-15 nothing fancy, got it around 980 (less with out the tool kit) in the "on paper" phase. I think I'm missing a pin though, less the gas tube comes with it, not sure. But, whats a rough time to put it together? about an hour?
@toboe399 For your first build probably an hour and a half or so. Some gas tubes come with the pin, sometimes the gas blocks do. You can get the pins seperately from most places that sell AR parts.
@MrSurgicalPrecision wow, putting a firearm together takes less time than my air rifle, that takes 3 hours to reassemble. but I plan on getting a barrel with the A2 gasblock on it
Nice rifle. I just finished building one. I have a small problem with mine though, for some reason the bolt catch isn't doing its job after the final shot. Any advice?
@andr3w0312 What kind of magazines are you using? Nine times out of ten that's the problem. You could also have a gas problem. Make sure your gas block is lined up correctly and tight. If none of that helps maybe try a different kind of ammo. I've had trouble with PMC 55 gr fmj in this rifle and another one as well. The rifle may also just need to be broken in by shooting it.
@MrSurgicalPrecision I'm using Gi style mags, federal 55 gr. FMJs. Ive also shot a few surplus 5.56 out of it. But ive only put about 120 rounds down range with it. Enough to "break-in" the barrel and get a zero. So it could be that I need to shoot it some more. Thanks for the advice, and i appreciate you taking the time to answer.
@andr3w0312 I'd say your mags are probably not the issue then. Just to be sure you can insert an empty mag into the mag well and pull the charging handle rearward. It should lock back. I'd check the areas I suggested and then just shoot it a little more. If the problem doesn't clear up in another 100 rounds or so let me know and we'll see what we can figure out.
@curtispa I've used everything from high temp anti sieze to wheel bearing grease. I do prefer white lithium which is what I used here. The BCG is a RRA I think, soon to be replaced with a Fail Zero nickel boron coated model. The upper is a GTS billet and the Lower is a Surplus Arms & Ammo (Spike's Tactical).
@MrSurgicalPrecision wow u got some good stuff the next ar i make next yr is gonna be a spikes lower as well an yhm hg again all after i get the tools an stuff to do it um jobless as of now again RRA rock river arms ? dont u like that bcg ? are u looken to sell it
@curtispa It's a Rock River from what I was told. I'm not sure that's true, the machine work doesn't seem to be up to RRA standards. It's good, just a little rough. I like it, but my buddy said he would take it for his Grendel so he can put the BCG back in his 6.8 SPC.
@MrSurgicalPrecision ya i thought it was a lil rough when where done with the gun an u charged it i have a vid up now of my ak an the new ar but my cam sucks if u want 2 watch it there short vids
The very first time I installed a barrel on my AR15 I had my friend hold the upper and barrel and I used vice grips on it, It actually worked perfect.
Great mini-series! I learned quite a bit as far as the different components and how they fit. Of course, not everything was covered, but the rest shouldn't be rocket science. It's funny how there seems to be an aftermarket option for even the most insignificant of parts.
@MrSurgicalPrecision Damn good deal for a 12" Larue rail. I have a barrel, upper, and gas tube from Bravo Co coming in on Tuesday. Just need the rail, gas block, and going to try one of those Titan compensators. Gonna hit the gun show in Ft Worth tomorrow. Hopefully I can find something.
@MrSurgicalPrecision Actually it might have taken me 2 hours, seriously. They gave me all these washers of different sizes and it was like a puzzle trying to figure out the right combo.
@semiautoriflelover I put a 3X Burris AR-332 on it. The dot in the would cover a half dozen dimes at 100 yards I think. I might slide one of my old benchrest scopes on it though to really test it out.
@semiautoriflelover Just inspecting the bore after I cleaned it on arrival I'd say it will get close with some good handloads. I'll put a good scope on it and find out for you. Probably be next weekend before I do, I'm putting a rifle together for a buddy tomorrow.
@MrSurgicalPrecision I'll just send them to you. lol. I need to buy a vice because my Uncle stole the one I had at my Grandmas. I have no clue why because he is part homo and can't use tools.
@MrSurgicalPrecision Did you ever think about trying one of those Spikes tactical nickel boron coated bolt and carriers? My trigger is from them and wow it is so smooth and slick almost feels like a turtles ass.
@semiautoriflelover I planned to use the Fail Zero coated carrier in this but the chrome one was cheap at the gunshow so I'm using it for now. I'll be orering the better one later on down the road.
@semiautoriflelover Yeah, not as easy as the Young Mfg that's in the Grendel which has a smoother finish but it's still easy. Plus it makes it really easy to see the carbon buildup.
@semiautoriflelover Only due to faulty mags. I've ran 500 rounds through a rifle without cleaning or lubricating without a single jam. Bad mags are almost always the problem in my experience. P mags are great if you can have them.
@MrSurgicalPrecision I can only have 20 round GI mags or 30 round GI mags but I've never had a problem with any of them. One time I used wolf shit ammo and had 2 or 3 jams but then threw out that ammo, it was getting stuck in chamber. That was it.
@SGTatARMS4 It's a Yankee Hill Phantom muzzle brake. They make a flash hider that looks really similar. It seems to be an effective design so far, the rifle doesn't jump around much during rapid fire.
This is an awesome series man, i really am looking forward to the rest of the parts, have you received all the parts and now your just assembling the rifle? Great stuff!
@markstevenbuisness I bought all the parts at the gunshow last weekend except for the barrel. I got my optics in the other day so it's all complete now. Haven't got to get it on the bench and see how it shoots yet.
@MrSurgicalPrecision That is awesome, it seems like this is the simplest platform to build by yourself? I cannot wait for you to go out and shoot at something accurately to test the accuracy. Once again one if my favorite channels never lets me down! :)
