  1. What does this guy know? It's not like he manufacturers barrels or anything. I'd rather listen to an 18 year old millennial with no experience tell me how to build a rifle. đź‘Ť

  2. I just purchased a 16” BA Hanson .625 to go with my Aero Precision builders set, but I have several install questions. First what kind of grease or lube should I use for the barrel to the reciever and the barrel nut to the reciever. It so confusing, because all of the different opinions. Second do you measure headspace with Failzero bcg, or should I buy a set and double check? What lube is recommended on the muzzle device and buffer tube / castle nut?

  3. You guys make nice stuff. My 300 blackout pistol with your premium barrel is a work of art. But I did install it with a torque wrench and milspec grease. You guys are scaring us!

  4. So I just got my barrel in and had the reciever lapped. Excited to try it out tomorrow if it doesn't rain. Kinda worried because Johnnys Reloading bench just did a series on your ar10 barrel in 308 18" and it was NOT good. Might want to hit him up and talk about a replacement…

  5. Just purchased a 18in Hanson barrel with mid length gas system for my Palmetto State Armory rifle. The barrel that they use from the factory is not the best and is shooting roughly 1 and 1/2 in Moa. I'm excited to get the new Barrel in and installed. Thank you for giving me a quick Barrel install video so I can properly install it myself. I am one of those guys who hates to pay someone else for something that I can do. Thank you again for the install video. I am looking forward to sub MOA accuracy with match Grade ammo. I think my factory ammo is much better than match Grade ammo so I'm really excited to see how well it does. I will post a video once it is all installed and at the range. Thanks again for promising a quality Pearl.

  6. Love that you kept this simple. Don’t need a bunch of expensive tools to put a barrel on.

    Just got my Aero upper receiver. My next paycheck I will be ordering one of your barrels to throw on it!

  7. Thank you for explaining barrel installation doesn't require $1000 worth of tools and a torque wrench that reads to the thousandth of a lb-ft. Now I'm off to install my Ballistic Advantage 300 Blackout barrel….

  8. I ordered a Ballistic Advantage 14.5" M4 profile modern series barrel from ManmouthReloaders.com. It did not come with the FSB so I will be installing one. Are the holes predrilled for the FSB taper pins???? I sure hope so..

  9. Great Video brother! I just purchased the Premium Series 14.5" Hanson in 223 Wylde . I can't wait to install it and try it out. It's my first build and I've been watching videos but your video is the best one by far because you use the KISS method. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

  10. Thanks Clint, I just received one of your barrels today and plan to install it tonight. Will use your method over the "tighten barrel nut 3x" method, after all if the guys who make the damn barrel don't do that why should I! First time build and there is a lot of conflicting info out in youtube land

  11. You're a very competent Armorer/Gunsmith. Some of the people making videos should be better off watching people you you. Then actually attempting to make a Video and doing the work themselves. I am Colt Trained and enjoyed you're video.

  12. I'm really glad Aero Precision picked you guys up. I bought their 16" M4 barrel and it's amazing. Next build is going to be a 16" Hanson. Not sure if I wanna do .223 wylde or 5.56….. so many choices 🙂

  13. Great video buddy. Nice and simple instructions. Just installed my Ballistics Advantage Barrel to this video. You guys have excellent products and I'm ordering a new barrel in .300blk for my next project.

  14. Newb question. I'm building a 300blk sbr and will want to shoot sub and super out of it. Should I get an adjustable gas block? I planned on just getting the lo pro that you all suggest on your site and using a standard carbine buffer. Didn't know what you all recommended when using sub and super loads.
