AR-15 disassembly and cleaning PART 1

I take apart my Bushmaster AR-15 and clean it, Sorry about the shaky camera, leave a comment and tell me what you think. I know that some of my terminology is wrong, but the process of breaking the gun down is all correct. I will try to put out another video detailing how to clean the chamber (I did not show that in this video)

Thanks

man i want an AR but damn thats too much just to take down and clean it...do yo have to take the bolt down that far to clean it to keep reliable?

@GNut1980

Cleaning an AR without breaking the bolt down is better than not cleaning it at all, but I would strongly recommend you clean it thoroughly. Every little bit of fowling increases your chances of a malfunction

Once you know how to clean it, it doesn't take very long at all

If you want a rifle that you don't want to worry about cleaning (and you don't want to spend a fortune) look at something like an AK

I have and love both an AK and an AR, but I have and love them for different reasons

@TheBlabla1996

I shoot high power rifle competitively so I keep very accurate records of how many rounds have fired vs jams. This particular rifle has about 2300 rounds through it. I have had 10-15 jams and I would say up to 8 of those malfunctions are due to bad ammunition (I reload much of my own ammo and sometimes I just don't get it 100% right) The main thing needed to avoid malfunctions is keeping the rifle clean. I clean mine after every 80-100 rounds.

@noerden91

Eugene Stoner designated this rifle the AR15, when the military adopted it they re-designated it the M16. M16s are selective fire weapons while AR15s are pretty much always semi auto only. They are essentially the same rifle. Hope this helps.

@built04Cobra thanks bro!

@GNut1980 no, i have shot over 10 thousand rounds through mine with out breaking the it down that far, all i do is remove the firing pin, retaining pin, and bolt carrier, theres no need to take a chance of loosing small springs and such, and i look at it this way, if you spent 1000 dollars on a gun and it lasts you 20-25 thousand round(aprox 6-7 years) then it did its job and its time for a new one, thats about 150 bucks a year which isnt bad at all, none of us are using these weapons to defend

@zachiary56 Many manufactures sell AR15s without the carry handle (usually to make adding scopes easier). Any gun chambered for the 5.56 will fire the .223, although some say that guns chambered for the .223 should not use 5.56 ammo (due to minor differences in specs). Most of the AR15s I know of are in face chambered for 5.56, so I'm not sure what guns you may be looking at. Some sellers use 5.56 and .223 interchangeably so the best bet is to look at what is actually stamped on the gun.

FUCK AR 15 AK AL THEY WAY!! BY THE TIME YOU CLEAN THIS SHIT YOUR DEAD FUCK THIS RIFLE!!!!

@danielskipp1 They aren't all the same as the original M16 and M16A1 that we had in Nam. There have been many improvements. And if kept clean - which a person should do anyway - they are very reliable. I would probably still select an M1-A just because I can use it for more than I can use an AR for (being a 7.62x51 rather than a .223).

@mb666100 yah i agree i had a friend who had a Bushmaster AR15 and it was very reliable. I think there's a lot of myths about the reliability of these guns. People think they're all as unreliable as the original Colt XM16E1 and the M16A1 used in Vietnam.

The armalite model 15 (Ar-15) is just a civi model of the military's m16/m4 . Only difference is Ar's are semi-automatic, and military are selective fire , single,triple,and automatic . Both are gas operated and fire both the 5.56*45mm and the .223 . I use 5.56 in my rock river arms LAR-15 all the time , not a single jam even used in heavy ass dust storms ,and rain . The trick is maintaining your firearm. It's simple and fun to do.
