AR Free Float Tubes - How to Install

Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, demonstrates the process for installing a free float handguard on an AR rifle. Free float handguard tubes allow the barrel to be isolated from pressure that is placed on the handguard, preventing a shift in point of impact when a sling or rest is used.

@tommco how to do what? The tube just screws in and he shows you what you need to remove, if you cant twist a tube on a threaded base then you dont need to be using a firearm

@endurox50 If you're planning to build an AR then you should have the 2-3 non standard tools he used. The rest is basic mechanics tools that normal people have in their tool box.

What is the point of this video since there is no explanation of how to do it? Seems to me that since no techniques are explained, this video is pretty useless.

if the point is that you do it yourself is cheaper than going to a gunsmith, its not the tools will cost a ton, a vise, 100-200 bucks, ar15 holder in the vise, 40-50 bucks, good ar wrench,, 20-30 bucks.

@LocutusIsBorg breaking down an ar is a quick and easy thing to do. Join the military, we had people who could break down the rifle and bolt and reassemble within 52 seconds.
