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.

Great simple video to explain the operation of an AR since my son won't listen to me. Thanks keep em' coming.
Whats 15 means?
Looks about right to me. Excellent
Silly civilians
Thanks! Very informative.
Great instructional video for a new AR owner or to help someone teach a new AR owner or possible new owner. Good refresher course too.
My question is – have you guys tried your short stroke piston conversion system on the mk47?
Good job…
Great Vid! Loving my Banshee Mk17 I just got.
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.
Wish I could afford one. Gonna keep watching vids till the kid goes to college🤣🤣🤣
I want one of these, I've got the MkGs in stormtrooper white and my God is it Amazing. Now, who's got a Sand Magpul grip for me?!?
Brilliant engineering! Love this system! Keeping it simple, but awesome 😎. Much love y'all! Keep up the great work!
How do we get back to reliable entry level AR15s at $450
My new Banshee Mk47 ran sweet last week at the range. Thanks!
👍👍
