Mickey goes over how to oil an AR-15 with two dirty rifles. This is not a cleaning and detailing video. This is basic maintenance to insure your rifle is ready of a weekend of training, and avoid pre-mature wear of internal components.

  1. I am 48 years old started in the carpentry trade at about 12 maybe 13 years old because that’s what my people did I sharpen my chisels my chainsaw blades by hand yes sir oil is a good thing when it comes to a metal product or anything that moves what you explained about your dusting I do the exact same thing

  2. I always 'over-oil' my AR and let it sit barrel facing down overnight after a clean/lube because I don't plan on throwing it in the dirt. I keep a bore-snake and a tiny vial of oil in the pistol grip for quick barrel clean/lube if needed. That's the only useful thing I've found that will fit inside the grip storage.

  3. Lot of effort to show how you clean a AR 15, very Detailed for anyone who has a AR 15 could get some great advice on how to keep clean and free of rust, I put little oil on outside and wiped down clean, Thank You, Great video

  4. It's been a long time since I fired an M16 in Basic Training, and now I find myself as a new AR15 owner. I plan on absorbing every bit of info I can lay my hands on. Thanks for the video(s), Mickey!!

  5. ok a vet from the sandbox turned me onto Hoppes #9 and ATF in a 50/50 mix and it's AWESOME… it goes WAY further because it thins it but the ATF keeps it WAY cleaner and it holds up to WAY higher temps than just oil alone… it's messy… like… it's going to weep oil n carbon out as it shoots but… keeps things from gumming up and it's Soo much better than just oil… ever see a dirty Auto transmission journal…. nope me either… and those get HOT… it's a high pressure high temp lubricant and everything runs way smoother than just oil alone…i switched about 9 years ago and I run it on everything… give it a shot… oh… AND..
    it's not 10$ tube

  6. This video was such a hard sales pitch I couldn’t get 7 minutes into it. If you had casually mentioned it that would have been fine but continually driving it in made me have disdain for this brand. Y’all, use Hoppes and not some weird social media influencer knock off.
