300BLK Build: Barrel & Handguard 2/4

Thanks for the video!

Awesome video! Great sound, video, instructions, and information. Keep up the great videos.

When was the last time you sent that elbow in for calibration? How can you be sure that you're in compliance with guten-tite standards?

eric johnson The rifle looks great. I’m about to build my first SBR. I currently own a cheap 8.5” 300 BLK AR pistol that I paid about $500 for. So I’m wanting to build a higher end AR pistol and SBR it. I might go 223 10.5 barrel only because it seems like 300 Blackout ammo prices are no longer dropping. Question…why did you use a pistol length gas system versus carbine length? I’m new to short barreled rifles, however I thought with a 10.5” barrel you should use carbine length gas system. Does it differ for 300BLK? Is the caliber a factor as far as what length gas system to use?

Nice cabinets? Any info?

Great video. What if you decide you want to remove the hand guard or barrel later on? How strong is that adhesive they have you install between the nut and guard?

Why did you go with a 10.5 instead of 8 or a 9 inch barrel?

STOP with the anti-seize on the engine bolts/nuts, you know as well as I do that most EVERY nut and bolt on the fighter in safety wired….LOL still a good video

This man deserves waaaay more subs. Good job man!

That's cool. I'm still debating on making it a pistol or an sbr.

Thinking about using faxon for my 300 build. So you impressed with the results . Also what kind of a accuracy can I expect

you forgot to grease the barrel extension.

First time I ever heard of them to but if there claim is even close to real they would really be worth looking into.

Hey what do you know about Stretch Precision Barrels

Really nice video brother. Very clear close up shots for those of us who are learning from you. Thank you.

You know what? I actually use green Loctite on my barrel extension before inserting it into the receiver extension. Why? Green Loctite is "very" high heat, chemical, and corrosion resistant. It is also a much better bedding material that blue or red Loctite, which are STRICTLY for threads. Green Loctite is used on bearings and sleeves on industrial and automotive applications, which receive much more heat and stress than your AR will ever see in its lifetime. I have assembled countless ARs using green Loctite instead of 33MS grease. Barrel deflection is greatly reduced and results in less than 1/2 MOA, even with such a bargain barrel as a 14.5" Radical Firearms 223 Wylde barrel, up to a 20" Faxon Heavy Fluted barrel, and even a 18" SPR Criterion barrel. The chamber is the coolest part of the barrel so it will never burn the Loctite off. Also, green Loctite will require near 1000°F to remove. Simply use a heat gun, a rubber mallet, gloves, and several twists, it will come off, same way as removing the Midwest Industries Handguard in this video. I'll bet the internet will say I'm a dumbass for using green Loctite. Well, you can also call Criterion Barrels dumbasses too because I recently found out they do the same thing when building their precision ARs.

Been watching for a while but fuck man, how can you say you believe in the right tool for the right job and use a claw hammer for a roll pin

I see that you know how to get schwifty. You just got +1 sub my friend.

I'm looking into making a 11.5" build and have been looking at the same MI rail in 10.5" but I'm concerned that there won't be enough room to put a suppressor on without hitting the handguard. How much space do you have between the front of the rail and the rear of the threading (and therefore the rear of the suppressor)?

Great vid!

subbed for the beard and shirt

did your faxon barrel come with the gas block pinned in when you opened the package ?

How much did you spend on the complete upper?

Lol "Gut N Tight"

Right on, I'll be sure to check them out I'm definitely interested in taking some courses from them.

About the 870 yeah I'm not big into shotguns in general but especially not PG only. Carbines and pistols for me.

Ran across your channel..lol small world. We took a carbine course with Donovan last year together. Shot your G43 and a shorty 870 on lunch.

I had a 14.5 BCM mid with FDE furniture that day BTW.

No grease on barrel extension?

Guttentite! I love it.

U F-15 fanboy. U ever wonder why a F-15 needs to be worked on for something that is barely sortied?
Last time I checked there were 222 service F-15's in the U.S. compared over 2,000 F-16 lawn darts as u call them.
Hard to break something that stays parked every day. I live next to Luke AFB and Eagles r used to hold down the tarmac so Vipers can do the real work.
