  1. Great tutorial! The only thing I saw missed was a little oil in the upper receiver before putting the BCG and charging handle in and a little oil on those moving parts in the lower receiver.

  2. Thanks so much! This was a very helpful demonstration. I have since purchased the Hoppe Elite cleaning kit for myself, makes the chore of cleaning my rifle, so much easier. And I was literally able to follow this guide step, by step.

  3. Wow what a PITA. I own one of these now. That's why I came here but let me tell you, it's so much easier to take down my former SIG 550 Service Rifle and completely clean it. On an AR platform, how often do we have to clean the gas tube? How is this done? Taking down and fully clean my 550 took about 10-15min when fully trained. And that's after 1000+ rounds a day shot.

  4. What size wire brush did you use? I tried .22 and it seems as if it didn’t want to push through so I used a wire snake instead. Was a .22 wire brush the right size for an AR chambered in 556
