How to Remove an AR-15 Barrel

I don't have a vise and this is making it much more difficult

Who's here learning how to defend themselves against a school shooter? If Waffle House hero can remove a scorching barrel, so can we.
After Santa Fe, it's just … ..it needs to stop.

Great job on this vid Sootch. Keep on keeping along.

Ya used the armorer's wrench incorrectly when removing the barrel nut. It was backasswards.
Also, to remove the barrel, you don't have to remove the flash hider, or gas block. Just remove the gas tube and use your armorer's wrench (correctly) to remove the barrel nut. Use a new crush washer and gas tube roll pin.

Mine has some kind of apoxy on it. Can't get it to budge no how hard I pry. Its a rock river so Idk what they did

would you recommend any gunsmithing toolkits or a tool list that cover any and all smithing for your ar

Your sure its on YT.  Not for long….

THUMBS down, because you really have no idea what you're doing. I would never want you working on guns, you ruin and scratch everything you work on. You truly are a hack. You don't believe in perfection and keeping items nice and in perfect condition. Instead you're a hick who just shits your underwear and thinks it's great using it for gun grease.

Better get this moved over to Full30 before you get a strike…

Sootch you better find another site for your videos, YouTube is removing all "How-to" gun videos in April!! https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-21/youtube-bans-firearm-sales-and-how-to-videos-prompting-backlash

Is the gas block or gas tube something that needs to be cleaned regularly like the other parts of the AR15? Or is the tube disposable of it gets clogged or goes bad?

A few years later and I still use this video as a reference. Great work Thanks.

Love the bloopers brother. Thank you so much

7:30 of bullshit talking for 15 seconds of information. Don't bother watching.

That vise lock where did you get it cant seem to find 1 like that, can any one help. Ken

Broke knuckles trying to pry it open. Nothing moved but my anger level. Some lugs seemed to have chipped. What should i do?

Now thats how you clean the star chamber! lol

The way you removed the gas tube roll pin around 3:50 you think can be used to take the two pins out of the gas block? I have a Colt LE 6920 OEM 2. It has a low profile gas block and want to install the Geissele Mk 8 rail I got for it. Seems like those pins will be a pain to remove.

That didn't look so bad… I'm willing to bet realigning the snap ring, weld spring & barrel nut is not as easy as one might think..?

man the hand guards are a fucking pain in the ass.

my delta ring is not on straight. what am i doing wrong?

Why do I see all these guys on YouTube use the wrong part of the AR multi-tool to remove the Delta Ring? LMFAO. Dummies.

Great video MAGA

I have a barrel nut that is stuck on my upper receiver so damn much I don't know what to do I've soaked it in break fast for 2 days and still won't budge! any body have any suggestions! ? I'll try almost anything at this point! thanks so much! and Sootch, thank you for all your hard work making these videos!

I bought a new palmetto pa 15 5.56 I am having a problem I can put a mag in and charge it then it will fire and eject but will not load the next round any ideas what is wrong

So I have an Bushmaster XM15 ORC and want to put a .22 nosler barrel so it will be going from 16" to 18". What else will I need besides the barrel, probably proper length gas tube if it don't come with one…can I use the exsisting gas block..? Will a torque wrench fit on the armors wrench..? I'm going to Montana soon…and switching from .223 to .22 nosler for coyotes and p-dawgs.

Does anything happen if you shoot without a breaker?
