This video debunks the common misconception that the bolt must be fully disassembled (extractor and ejectors removed) to check headspace. Instructors Steve and Caleb demonstrate that for most firearms, including bolt actions and AR-style platforms, headspace can be accurately checked with the bolt intact. They explain that the mechanical leverage involved in closing the bolt negates the minimal resistance from the extractor and ejector springs, and that the ejectors should naturally seat flush. While acknowledging potential extractor interference with some gauges, they offer solutions like using cut gauges or removing only the ejector for peace of mind.

This video details the initial build of a "Ukrainian Inspired" AR-308 by Steve, utilizing existing parts and inspired by firearms seen in Eastern Europe.

This quick tip from Brownells explains the importance of matching AR-15 and AR-308 gas block diameters to specific barrel profiles. Understanding these differences, such as .625" for pencil barrels and .750" for standard profiles, is crucial for proper firearm function. The video advises checking barrel manufacturer specifications to ensure the correct gas block is selected.

This guide, presented by Brownells experts Steve and Caleb, details how to install and tune an adjustable gas block on an AR-15 platform. It clarifies that adjustable gas blocks are primarily for restricting gas flow in over-gassed rifles, not for increasing it in under-gassed systems. Proper tuning can lead to a softer-shooting, cleaner action and is especially recommended for AR-308 platforms.
