This is a video I made when I worked for the 342nd Training Squadron at lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX. It is meant for persons that are unfamiliar with the disassembly and assembly and proper cleaning of the M16 A2 rifle.

  • is this exactly how they do it in basic?

  • @prGRMY12 Yes. I took all the pictures you see at Lackland AFB. I taught there for 6 years.

  • lubercation?

  • @mikev734 CLP is a lubricant. CLP ( @ :31 ) stands for Cleaner, Lubricant, and Preservative. It is good for temperatures down to -10 and then you have to strip that lubricant off and use a cold weather lubricant.

  • @amngilbert but sand will get into it when you are over in the desert and absolutely gum everything up.

  • @Sjackson2369 That, sir, is the reason you are supposed to clean or at least wipe down your weapon after every shift before turn in. That sand can get into places you didn't know existed. lol For a desert climate you should ensure that only a very light coat of lube is on the weapon, and only inside. If you can place your finger on the bolt carrier and see your fingerprint in the lube, you probably have to much on it.
