  1. simply oiling the entirety of the bolt fixed my problem. was jamming (failing to eject and double feeding because of it) every 4 rounds or so. now she shoots mag after mag jam free

  2. Same thing on my M&P15 Sport II. Ran the bolt a little dry and it stopped ejecting. I mean the bolt doesn't even come back. I had to use the charging handle. So I brought it home, cleaned and lubed the bolt and carrier. Today I finally got to the range and guess what? Same damn thing! Now I guess I have to call S&W cause it's still under warranty.

  3. So your gun stopped working because it was not lubed correctly, and you going to show us how to lube a gun…..Where do I start…..Those side holes on the carrier are NOT TO BE OILED!!! They are gas holes.!!! Why didn't you oil the gas rings before you put the bolt into the carrier?? Is that how you clean the bolt chamber??? A little dab with your finger and a rag at the start of the opening?? Did you pour a quart down the gas tube too??? OMG!

  4. The channel where the bolt slides into the bolt carrier accumulates a lot of carbon towards the end that needs to be cleaned or scrapped of, i usually run a shotgun sized brass brush in it until clean then run a slightly oiled rag to surface lube the channel, I also do not recommend pouring hoppes cleaner into the bolt unless your willing to take out the extractor and ejector to remove the hoppes from their inner channels before lubing because it’s contradicting each other plus you don’t want to leave the cleaner in those channels because they are oxidizing cleaners if left on for long periods of time!

  5. Not to be mean, but geez man, this should be titled "How Not To Lube an AR15." You're under lubing in some areas and over lubing in other areas. And RemOil is closer to being water than real gun oil. Try something like M Pro 7 LPX.

  6. that's what you have issues. it's a low budget BCG and the rifle is cheap. grate video bro. people need to see what happens when you cut corners. glad you were not delta..and it failed in the field.

  7. hi there so here is whats going on i build my ar 15 with an anderson lower and anderson lpk i bought an 16" upper from Joe bobs outfitters and i put on a psa bcg and ch i took my gun to the range today and it shoot the first round but after that i had to charge the handle to cycle after each round and then fire what do u think it could be ?

  8. sorry for commenting on an old vid, just wanted to say thanks! got an AR10, my first AR ever and im used to bolt guns. I sprayed the BCG from the OUTSIDE before firing, but i never took the BCG out and lubed it for the first time. Fixed my FTE issues 🙂
