  1. Worse video ever! Show nothing. Worthless. Always refers to previous videos. LOL! Why not show the previous video into this video to help the viewer watching?

  2. Should I not use a scope Riser on top of the existing rail. The reason why I did that was because it was awkward to grab my charging handle and hit my scope with my hand

  3. okay if i have a 3-9×50 scope will i need the "high" scope rings to make sure i clear the rail..? my rails are 100% flat like yours .. pls help haha before i order a bunch of junk and it be wrong

  4. So  Recoil  pushes back  and  you  mount  forward   to help  with that?.. . That  same  thinking  that  helps  you  with  recoil  works  better  at the  back  due  to the  fact that  the  mount can't  move  back  … I 'm  not  starting anything  …  but  I always  mount  my optics  to  the  back  to  start with… Help me understand ?

  5. Next time please show balancing your AR and Scope before you loctite them down.  I dont know of anyone that would loctite the scope into the rings, if you later deside its not in proper position or use in a defferent set up ,it's going to show the dry residue from the glue and you dont want to sand or pick that off. BAD IDEA !! 

  6. I understand why rings are lapped, but tube OD's and coating thicknesses on the tube surface vary a few thousandths. You would need to measure the tube being installed and have an assortment of slightly different mandrels to truly lap a perfect seat wouldn't you?

  7. Good info, I didn't know about lapping the rings, but that makes a lot of sense. I'm just getting into an AR build (for distance shooting) and I see I'm supposed to lap the upper receiver, too.
