  • nice vid but wont the constant heat applied from the grinder affect the steel strengh

  • @sandman481000

    not in the short time it was used for this project

  • 4" angle grinder? glad to see we are using precision tools for this task.

  • @marin3snip3rs

    only a fool uses a 400mm glass beaker to shovel horse crap

  • Do you need to cut off the bayonet lug and sling swivel attachment area if the rail doesn't go past the gas block area?

  • @squee116

    depends if it will fit through the rail, and / or when you install it

  • @mrtruthify its not longer jus because of a need to place multiple items on the same rail, its mainly for a more comfortable grip, plus it shrouds the gas system, what if i wanted to knock your front sight off with a hammer, your rifle wouldnt work anymore., that cant happen on this system, the gasblock is protected., what if i wanna run a inline night sight, try gettin one of them on a carbine rail with a 1x4 power rifle scope.,JUST because YOU dont need one DOESNT mean I dont NEED one..

  • That vice is fucking up your shigt.. Use some wood or something..

  • Mr. AO, did you not watch the whole video? There's 3 pins that you tap out to slide the gas block sight off the barrel.

  • I want to chop my front sight off just like this. How do I remove the whole gas block from the barrel so I can work on the sight without the barrel? Awesome channel by the way. Thanks

  • you need a new videographer

  • Wow, you made that look really easy. Nice job... looks sweet.

  • Man, you are a master gunsmith... GREAT JOB
