    I don't understand why people take pride not maintaining their firearms clean or fairly clean at least.

    Chad, does the magazine need to be empty to check for bolt carrier belly clearance when the upper is attached to the lower, the mag is inserted, and the carrier is slid back N forth checking for mag to carrier clearance?

    Can anyone tell which ones were considered good carriers? Just for anecdotal info I don't blame anyone for variances but I want to make a good decision in general

    I stumbled across this channel, and I am so glad that I did! I have built a lot of ARs in a lot of calibers and have rebuilt 1. That 1 was a .458Socom that my brother purchased, and it would not run right at all. Now, I am no expert by any stretch, but my basic machining skills are okay, and my common sense is better than most. The easiest part was determining that the made in 2021, Bear Creek Arsenal 458socom was at best garbage tier and at worst dumpster fodder. It was way over-gassed, the springs were pretty much all too light or not long enough and fully assembled it jiggled like jello. The extractor had been made with a .223 extractor using a dremel and the feed ramps came to a hard stop at the barrel extension. I went through it changed out what I could and fixed what I could fix. The chamber was really bad and I was able to polish that and the extension feed ramps. This was all very basic stuff, nothing good or great about what I did, but it was better than it was and it ran. I just wish that I knew two years ago half of what I have learned from this channel in 2 weeks!

    Chad, had mentioned previously on your vibratite/rocksett video on how to reliably and safely remove the muzzle device once the compounds have cured onto the threads. Will you be showing us how you approach this, soon?

    I sold everything LMT due to QC issues! One thing no one points out is their high turnover rate and low wages. I think this is a major reason no one cares about QC at LMT.

    Awesome series. I’m trying to diagnose weak ejection on a PSA 11.5” upper I expected it to be overgassed by a lot Would starting with the bcg be the proper start?

    Thats why my BCG isn’t a shiny chrome color. I don’t look for pretty, I want quality of the build. No one is looking through my ejector cover to see a logo or the color.

    I had my 14.5 extended muzzle brake pinned and welded and a torque test is required for proof that I can't spin it off later. Definitely have to want that gas block... Adjustable, 300BO. Shortest legal length and full power. 85 to 230 grains. I can lob some fatties over a partition. Like a mini mortar. They still use those ancient things. (If it works, don't fix it) Or a Coyote at 600 meters with a 85gr 3000fps projectile. Penetrators or TREX is a sweet option in those specs. Lead free too.

    I would guess that 90-95% of ARs built at home are assembled incorrectly. I learn something new about the AR every few weeks or so and just when you think that you can't learn anything new about the so-called Lego rifle, that anyone could assemble, your flooded with new data that proves that while the AR may be easier than most to assemble the pieces, this American Rifle requires a full understanding of the hows and whys of their assembly and, more importantly, how those various parts interact with each other.
