2/2 Building a Precision AR 15 at Ready Gunner – Upper Assembly

Gonna be the "critical internet comment guy". They take the time to mention setting up the receiver in an appropriate vise block to safely torque on the barrel to avoid receiver flex, and then proceed to drive the gas tube roll pin with the gas block slid on the far end of the barrel. That's definitely something to avoid. Do it on the bench with the gas block braced in a jig or other appropriate fixture.

I didn't see another video after this one of the accuracy testing of this build. Are you guys planning on making one showcasing the accuracy of this set up too?
Thanks for the videos….

just came across your channel while currently building my SPR, good shit man, where are the the haters rifles at? Where are their videos? lol. Great channel man, keep it up!

If I can offer a little help. There is a formula for adding a wrench to your torque wrench to make the wrench accurate. When you add 8 inches of wrench it is no longer 30 FT LBS. of torque. Such as torquing the buffer tube. Also. You can make your life a bunch easier if you get a set of Roll Pin Punches for driving the roll pin into the gas block. For only building one rifle it wouldn't be worth the cost, ( maybe $25.00 dollars), but if your going to do a lot of rifle builds it's a really handy set of punches to have. They are made especially for installing roll pins. I learned a few things as well. Thanks for the great video.

Internet dudes claim that there is a worry that there will be galvanic corrosion between the aluminum receiver and the conductive anti-seize dope on the steel barrel nut. If there is truth to that, it would probably only be relevant on Guadalcanal and Okinawa etc. I'm sure your SPR is safe. The only mistake that I saw was the orientation of the torque wrench. The armorer's wrench should be at a 90 degree angle to the t wrench or you are adding length to your applied force which throws off your measurement. Again, only an issue if you are reaching the top end of your allowable torque. Really wish I could shoot with you guys!

Great Vid… I build a 12.5" 223 Wylde SPR last year, I need to do a SPR now.
I need to this shop to my visit list when I come out for GEN CONF. in Utah next year.

what kind of scope did you use in this build ?

another great build video. I learned a lot. thanks

aeroshell 33ms

Where can I get the exact specs on that rifle?

How much velocity are you getting pushing the 77g Berger's out of those 18 inch barrels?

So the barrel in youre gun and this gun is the same? And is it the SPR/SDM barrel that White Oak sells. And if so they had one fluted, would it be a better barrel or at least as good? I'm building one and might buy this barrel.

I personally also like the gas impingement system.

I like the on sight target logo

Question on the muzzle brake. Do you have to put rocksett on the threads or is the crush washer enough to keep it from coming off?

Am I the only one that cringed while watching this guy build the rifle through these two videos?

what about checking the head spacing on the bolt

I get the impression this is coltons very first rifle? make sure you teach that boy the fundamentals of marksmanship…I'm confident he's in good hands haha and this rifle will probably make him look good regardless haha. Beautiful build

hate to be the Internet advice guy haha but man even with a dimpled barrel I would highly recommend loctite on those set screws

I was always taught the exact opposite when it comes to using a torque wrench. You're supposed to offset whatever tool you attack it to 90 degrees because it keeps the length the same thus giving you an accurate torque reading. When you attach it in line you're effectively adding length to the torque wrench, as opposed to torquing in parallel, and you throw off the measurement. By offsetting the tool 90 degrees from the handle of the torque wrench, you negate the offset/ gained leverage. This is the first time I've ever heard someone say keep the wrench and tool in line. I saw him do it in the first video with the castle nut and I just thought he didn't care because it was the castle nut, but here he was talking about it. I don't want to be one of those "internet guys" you were talking about, I'm just a bit confused now.

Does rail get in the way of the adjustment screws on the gas block? Set screw on the side?

Careful don't crank down on the muzzle brake you can pinch the end of the barrel and effect accuracy. Great video guys!

Great video. I have the same barrel and a troy sdmr rail. I hope he is a reloader to get all the accuracy that WOA is capable of.

Thanks for the video, Bryce! This was an awesome AR build, and a beautiful rifle. I'll have to check out Ready Gunner next time I'm out that way.

Looking forward to seeing the guns accuracy.

A note on the anti seize vs aeroshell lube on barrel but. The standard automotive anti seize is very messy and not an easy clean up. IF you do use it apply very sparingly or you'll be cleaning that stuff off of everythingHaving used both I can say they will each get the job done, the aeroshell is just a cleaner lube to work with. Hoping to come out for a shoot this summer. Thanks for the upload.
