Very detailed and informative video. Clear voice and clear images. Thank you for the hard work
Great job I started to take mine apart and had a tiny mystery piece, Found where it where it was and five minutes of watching your video
Worst video ever
This is the best detail lower disassemble. Thank you for this awesome video.
Just like a documentary! Great video!
Great video. I’m about to embark on my first ar refinish project and this video is going to make it a lot easier.
wtf there's no audio. there is audio for the upper video and I see comments saying there's audio but not on my end
Cool now I can take my ar apart and hydro dip it 🤞🏽
Appreciate the video!
This is by far the best mvideo for this, thank you , I never comment on YouTube but I can’t say it enough 👌🏻
It would have save more lives in Vietnam if soldiers had these AR15s in the battlefield, more advanced than those Armalite SP 101s that would jam & didn't have the forward assist button.
nice!!
Thank you for this awesome, clear and detailed video! Lost 2 detent pins, the takedown and pivot, and am currently waiting for the replacements to be delivered… I'm now confident that I will get everything back together correctly!
Exceptional instructions. No useless chatter strictly information I am confident I could be handed a bucket of Springs and pins incorrectly a symbol the lower good job great video
Well done like a documentary from the 1950s (black & white)………thanks 🇺🇲👊🐕
Excellent!
Wow! Great instruction video!
Great details. Question. Can you switch out the commercial buffer tube with mil spec on that Windham M4?
I'm new to AR's this was very helpful and detailed I feel more confident now thanks.
Wow that was very well detailed and I appreciate the up close views so I know EXACTLY what to do good job. The only problem I have now is that I cannot find a wrench long enough to fit into the grip…bummer
Feels a little overkill on the clearing of the gun
