Thank you for that very informative video. I picked up my first AR-15 a few months ago. Beautiful Sig Sauer m400. Not to be mistaken for the tread or snake bite. This one has the a2 front post I've got the carry handle on it blah blah blah blah blah. Everything that you did I have done with the exception of lubricating the buffer spring. I got so annoyed every time I would hear that grinding sound. I just did the exact same thing you did I squirted a bunch of lubricant right into my palm got it all over that spring and now that grinding sound is gone. Thank you again. Stay safe and God bless.
so much oil in that rifle, we about to invade it.
Just cleaned my first AR for the first time with you! Thanks Reid!
Will a 22 bore brush work for an AR 15? It is a very small difference between 22 and 223. I just didn't want to use it until I knew for sure that it wouldn't damage my rifle.
Thanks for the video. How do you feel about CLP?
Excellent choice of music! Great video!
No longer using grease?
Yo I think I am gonna stick to my method for cheap cleaning I use breakfree clp to clean and then some mobil 1 motor oil last alot longer and way way cheaper… and unlike solvents I can just leave the clp in it and then add oil no need to strip off the solvent…
Just got my first AR-15 today. Gonna order me some EWL30 and get going. Appreciate the video!!
Chemicals aren't manly. As a boat builder I know people with your attitude that can no longer work because they have neurological damage. The solvents that clean your gun carry the metals and other toxic crap into your bloodstream when on your skin.
Nice video dude no B's and you don't sound like a gun snob. I like that.
Yes its a free country
0:23 Right off the bat, for newbies, you didn't show how to break down the rifle. You show the pin already removed. That aside, great video!
Not using gloves is for men with huge balls, because of the cancerous tumors. Then they have one ball and keep their mouth shut about how tough they are because nobody cares or even cared before about how tough they were for not wearing gloves. But you do you buddy. Don't wear a seatbelt or a motorcycle helmet too big man.
Balistol nuff said. Hickok 45 mans twice his age and a gun Smith to technical. 3 different cleaners? Nah don't be stupid and waste your money. 10 bucks all in one.
Who else’s wife was watching with you and started screaming “Is that a BRAND NEW TOWEL?!!”
metal from the 80s? Creed?
Dude you kind of look like mark wahlburg
Thanks for the video 🙂
Dude your video is spot on. If anyone has a fun, they don’t need to pause this. Thanks man 🙂
