How Does an AR Work?

Here we take a look into the inner workings and basic operation of the AR platform. This is a quick overview and doesn’t cover all operating system, just the most predominant, direct impingement.

As a stand in for an AR15, Mike uses one of our Mk47s that he had handy, but the operation is the same.

This is for education purposes only and to show simple operation. We do not break each component down fully as the video could be considered to be showing how to build the platform and be removed.

  1. It's fantastic to see high quality & informative videos like this.
    It's especially so when they're made using MK47.
    Among other optimizations, using .308 BCG to handle 7.62x39mm was one of the best ideas for long term.
