Mike's Tips – Don't Baby Your Gun

Firearms are machines designed to contain an explosion and direct that energy behind a projectile down the barrel. The components of a firearm can handle a lot of abuse. Usually more than you can impart on one during normal cycling and loading. We see more malfunctions based of users being too delicate with their firearms. While we aren’t saying abuse your gun, at least operate it with purpose.

  1. haha I haven't cleaned my CMMG Resolute yet. Idk 300+ rounds and going strong hahaha. Only issue I've had was with one magazine (it didn't work in my friends DD either). Very happy with my resolute 🙂

  2. I have that same tattoo in the same font (the font used on the monument at Thermopylae). Since one side of the lambda is shorter than the other, my kids love to tease me and read it as "moron rabe."

  3. awesome vid n content there brotha , 1 million % cool , will always support you , i am a u.s. marine vet here n the best thing you can do is keep your personal weapons clean when your done firing them , military guys know this , thanks n keep em coming . tom !

  4. All good info and I don’t slam shut wheel guns either, it just feels wrong😂. One thing, terminology is important. Say it with me, This is my rifle, this is my gun, this is for fighting and this is for fun. Also, pistols don’t have charging handles. I know, it’s just semantics but if we want to make fun of ignorant politicians then we should be on point. Love me some CMMG.

  5. yepp, I also noticed on the dissent in 300 black out using 220 grain. Even when I don’t baby it, it doesn’t like to be held or loaded with the barrel held back after loading a new mag. You have to hold it up at a 20 to 30 degree angle at most with those heavier rounds, or just flat level. It doesn’t like pushing those heavier loads on higher angles lol. Basically working against gravity.

  6. I used to take care of the m1 garand rifles for my local vfw and American legion. Some of the veterans who did the burial details would baby the m1 and I would have to remind them to run the gun hard because if you baby it on loading it would jam. The same goes for all guns as you said. As a gunsmith I commend you on doing this great video.
