  1. If you ever take that dust cover off the one you gotta remove the handrail on strike industries makes a dust cover that is very easy to install and you dont have a rode or anything that you gotta worry about pulling out.

  2. you my friend are a genius ive been fighting with that C clip all day until i found your channel the grease trick worked seated itself perfectly without it GOOD LUCK i lost 3 of them in 10 minuets this trick worked

  3. Mission Accomplished! Thank you so much. After purchasing a printed dust cover and then realizing the standard barrel nut removal installation, I set it aside for about 8 months before I found your easy and detailed lesson that worked for my upper. I had no interest in removing the nut. Your content is golden and much appreciated.

  4. The way the rod turns up against the forward assist makes me worry about the rod putting leverage on the hole it fits through, that's steel through aluminum. Probably makes little difference as you don't do this frequently, but it popped into my head.

  5. I’m confused why this even needs to be a video, that dust cover pin was designed to be swapped without removing the barrel nut. Let me see you do it with the pin type that has no clip. 😔

  6. No offense sir, but Kobalt tools are Chinese junk being dumped all over America. My firearms request American made tools. Other than that, your video is straightforward. The detent button that grabs the housing on mine has rounded off, and needs replacing. This video helps.👍
