Changing out your standard AR-15 dust cover is technically a pretty easy job, but it can be tricky working with the tiny C clips that hold your dust cover. In this video, I’ll show you how to quickly and easily replace your standard-issue AR-15 dust cover with a custom laser-etched one from Bastion Gear.
You’ll need some painter’s tape to protect your gun’s finish, needle-nose pliers or multi-tool, small tweezers, possibly a small hammer, and LOTS of patience!

I'm fucking retarded and this helped me a lot
I appreciate the video quality more than words can explain! You definitely keep my boredom at a minimum. Thanks!!!
I’m not removing my dust cover, but I’ve found something concerning that you could probably answer for me. I just recently got my first rifle, so I’ve been closely examining it, trying to learn about every detail on how it operates and how it’s put together. The c clamp prevents the bar from moving towards the stock, but I noticed that if you press your thumb on the end of the bar from the stock side, the bar moves slightly forward towards the barrel. Is there anything to prevent the bar from sliding completely out in the direction of the barrel?
Thank you for using such a great camera resolution for this video. I got my first AR and I'm trying to customize it bit by bit and some if it seems slightly daunting for someone who's never customized a gun before. This was super helpful, I'm excited to get my package in the mail now.
Could you put this on a sr25?
This vid was awesome. Super easy to follow and awesome camera quality you definitely got my sub ! Also your background music is pretty damn good what’s it called lol ??
My spring flew right the hell off when I was shooting. I've never had it off and have no idea why it flew off. Turns out the cover functions the exact same way without it. Im just putting a new one on because it says "Surprise Asshole" on it.
Very easy to follow the steps, appreciate the content man
I got a knurled rod for the dust cover on my ar I bought prebuilt , anyone know if only way to take it off it forsure removing hand guard?
What bolt are you using?
Ur doing it backwards
what safety is that?
Its NOT a "C: CLAMP its a "C" CLIP
Cool, thanks for the vid! I'm upgrading my AR & I have a new dust cover I need to install
Thank you! Just installed my new dust cover. Gun shop said I have to take the gun apart or they could do it for $100+ lmao
Be sure to rotate the long end of the spring in a clockwise direction.
If a dust cover doesn't come with the extras can you use bar etc from your old dust cover?
Do you know if there is an easy way to swap one out on a 223 wylde side charger? They don't have an open hole on the Butt stock side so It's looking like the barrel may need to come off. I'm just being lazy and hoping that's not the case.
Yes, I noticed that you cut the part trying to get the bar in. Other than that, yes, I feel confident about replacing my dust cover.
thanks, very helpful. My spring broke during training the other day, so I replaced the whole cover with an OD green one that says You're Fucked when open. Ha
Nicely done, thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
You saved my ass with the tape bro…. soooo grateful 🙏…. great video…
SKIP >>>>
2:34 (took a while to get there)
That’s where the process starts
Bar and C-clamp?
C-clamp
Great video! I finally just used pliers to get the clip on, much easier than trying to tap it on.
Thanks to your video,I just got done installing my dustcover on an ar15 build that I'm in the process of doing
Will an e clip work?
