This video is not the end all be all, but I personally believe it is a very simple and effective way to clean your AR. If you have thousands of rounds down range, you can follow these same steps, but take more time to make sure you are getting all of the carbon buildup.

I'd definitely wear gloves.
Those solvents aren't the most healthy thing.
He said Hoppys' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I use transmission fluid to clean and lubricate my ar. Since I'm not in a hurry, I'll let the parts soak in the transmission fluid for about 10-15 mins and that normally breaks up any carbon build up or makes it very easy to scrape off. Been doing it for a few years now and no problems.
About how many rounds should you do this ? Purchased my first ar 15 an FN 15 . Would 100 rounds be too early too clean ?
Horrible video from cleaning to assembly. Too many things to even begin talking about. Just do your homework. This guy is clueless.
same way i clean mine . only i am ocd about clean barrels lol . love the hoppes oil and the rem oil . i love how some guys and so called instructors basically tell people to dunk the rifle in a bucket of oil lol . but if you don't clean it i guess you need to run it dripping wet lol . great video . on my target rifles i use grease on the inside of the upper and on the bolt carrier rails . as i want it to be lubed and the lube stay in place . but only on my target rifles .
First time ar owner, bought a Del-Ton Sierra 316L from Sportsman's Warehouse completely out of randomness, was getting some 9mm and .45 rounds saw it, liked it and decided to buy it. I've never owned a modern sporting rifle and field stripping was a concern. You're video and the complex simplicity that is the genius of the AR platform made it fun rather than intimidating. I'll be getting another 1 now, very effective, efficient and very fun to shoot, clean and own.
We appreciate the video!
Keep it simple. Ummm, simpler than that.
No way I’d lube the springs in the trigger like that lol. You’re acting for too much build up.
I notice you didn’t mention cleaning the chamber at all. 🤔
Folks, DONT FORGET THE STAR CHAMBER AND BARREL!
Great video with helpful tips!
How often do you clean out the star chamber? Also, how would you recommend cleaning that area?
What about lubrication for a long-term storage , not a monthly shooter. Let's say you're moving and have to put your household belongings into storage .
Naw dog you can’t just drench your rifle in cleaner if you plan on using it. I don’t know if your hoppys is alcohol based or what but if you did that with clp you’d be bleeding carbon all over for months
thank you
Thank you.
Clean the barrel!!!
Thanks.
Very helpful, thanks
Im thinking about getting my first gun soon i want a ar-15 but my friend says im gonna have to maintain it a fck ton like oiling it every week even if i aint shoot it this true?
Good stuff thanks
Spray WD-40 and be done.
How do you clean the barrel from the outside? Do you do it often? And do you remove you hand cover?
There is nothing proper about this video 95% of what was said and demonstrated is wrong in terms of whats proper . Dumping oil in a gun is not only asinine but its also the wrong lubrication for the job at hand , 99% of people who actually run and understand the basic mechanics of their rifle run thin grease it is proven superior to oil and all that oil you dumbed into your bcg what ever made it into the expansion chamber is going to turn straight into carbon , that kind of pressure and heat doesnt blow oil anywhere it instantly vaporizes it
My Daniel Defense needs more cleaning than any other gun I have ever owned. ARs are dirty guns. I have cleaned my Browning A-Bolt 1/1000th as often and it takes way less effort. AR style rifles are baby-soft little wimps. I would NEVER consider an AR to be a dependable weapon. I can't wait to sell my 2200 dollar AR to get something fun AND reliable.
Why can't anyone just do a video without wearing a tee shirt or showing a bottle of a sub-par cleaner? And wear some gloves before you get dermo cancer! Just the facts! 😆And way too much oil Slim!

I love doing this when after putting clp
I like the clicking
Kinda like cars, I know guys that abuse the hell out of them and NEVER maintain em, and they somehow work fine forever, yet the guys that "over" maintain, have issues! Nice video!
I only oil the parts that rub and only on the spots that rub
Can we apply hoppes 9 lube on the star chamber???
WHAT A WASTE !!!!!!
Not bad…but
I think you need to change the title…How to "Quick Clean" your AR…and even then you left out 1 or 2 things…at least from my point of view…not that it means squat 😉 😄 anyway🙃.
Is that a radical firearms AR? I’ve got one myself. Beautiful rifle.
