AR-15 Tip : Greasing The Extension #shorts

I would advise not ever greasing threads, torque specs are derived from clean non-greased materials. Different levels of friction on the threads would create different levels of axial strain/deformation on the threads. Greased threads allow the same torque to apply more axial stress.

Did Eugene Stoner do this when he was first designing the AR or is this a newer technique? Did Vietnam M16s get their barrels installed this way? Do they do it now on military rack grade M4s?

I'm just curious.

I've never greased my barrel but I have lubed my threads

Thank you

I grease my extension before every installation 😎

Pro Tip: Put half as much grease on your barrel nut than you have in your hair. 😆

Seriously though, love the style!

Why are you whispering?

I just watched the video on letting the slide slam on an empty chamber on a 1911. I have seen severe peening of the locking lugs on the barrel and slide cuts from doing that. I don't do it with any of my pistols.

No no no! Use heat! It’s a gunsmiths secret. Look up jp enterprise thermo fit. It’s what the pros do.

For the threads, is anti seize acceptable? Or only grease?

Just use the grease from your hair.

So the military is doing it wrong I have family that worked in the Armory and they never use Grease. And then the bigger question is if you use grease what kind and how much does that affect your torque spec even using Loctite on a bolt will change how a torque is applied because it acts like a lubricant easy to get false readings.

Should you do it again if you change the handgard

But doesn't the grease change torque specs?

Got mine greased last night

I want Caleb to come to my house for my first build. Do one together and the second on my own with supervision.

The grease expert. Got a whole can of mobil1 on the dome

Is that a can of WD-40 in the background?

What type of grease is recommended? Can’t find aeroshell anywhere. What’s the functional equivalent? White lithium? Aluminum? Wheel bearing grease? Silicon grease? The choices are endless. I assume not to use anti seize grease?

When torquing a threaded connection the torque applied can almost double with well greased threads. The set torque can be achieved with less force in a greased connection because the friction factor decreases due to lubricant.

Don't forget to grease your hair too for that professional gangster look 👍

What’s the best grease for weapons? I use hoppes #9, clp spray and I have some Winchester wipes and crap I got as a present once upon a time. But I’ve never used grease, only clean, spray small amount of clp and wipe it around inside to lube while bringing most out of the weapon so it isn’t full of liquid and gunk. Would be interested in trying a grease type lube

Thanks for the quick video man! I’ve built a lot of lowers but usually buy complete uppers, however I just recently ordered the upper for the build I’m working on now and I’m going to complete it myself.

Quick question though; do you have to use grease for this, or is regular lube/protectant like CLP or ballistol sufficient? Just wondering if I can use something I already have or if I should go buy some grease

It looks like the new kitchen conversion was taken over by the engineering staff.

Grease on the barrel threads not your comb over

Imagine having to clean or oil your gun #aksfordays

This is why I tell my wife gun building is just like sex.

This guy looks like a peewee herman alternative. And if that doesnt work out, he would fit right in at lazy town.

Some people to say grease Muzzle thread while some say loctite. Thoughts ?

Can you show how much grease you put on

Are y’all going to have the BRN-16a1 in stock anytime soon?

What confuses me is that YOU tell others to grease the extension while others like centurion arms use green loctite…

Just the tip 😜

Caleb. Whats your opinion on lapping the upper receiver before barrel install?

Is it necessary to lap the front of the receiver? I seen some do, some don't.

AR 15 tip then proceeds to lubricate the tip.

Caleb I was going to say you could grease it using your hair… don't want to bend and damage the barrel though 😉

Torque specs are calculated using clean and dry (unlubed) threads unless otherwise specified.

I have read somewhere that some grease can be corrosive to aluminum, just wondering if there’s any truth to that?
