This product spotlight by Brownells Gun Tech Caleb focuses on the SOTAR Cam Pin (SCP) from Forward Controls Design. Developed in conjunction with Chad Albrecht of the School of the American Rifle (SOTAR), this upgraded AR-15 cam pin features a unique dimple for consistent indexing during Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) reassembly. This consistent orientation promotes even wear on the cam pin, extending its service life and, consequently, the overall lifespan of the BCG by preventing accelerated wear on other components. The video highlights the importance of this seemingly small part in maintaining the reliability and longevity of an AR-15.

This video debunks the 'direct impingement' myth for AR systems, explaining they use an internal gas piston within the bolt carrier. It details how gas travels via a tube and key, acting on the carrier and bolt head to cycle the action. The explanation covers bolt unlocking, gas venting, and how bolt carrier mass regulates cycling speed, while also addressing fouling concerns.

This guide details essential range preparation for an AR-15, focusing on proper lubrication techniques as demonstrated by competitive shooter Jerry Miculek. It emphasizes targeting high-stress areas like the cam pin and locking lugs with a heavy-duty lubricant, and applying oil directly to the receiver raceways for extended effectiveness. This preparation is crucial for ensuring reliable function during high-volume shooting sessions.

This long-term review of the Radical Firearms AR-15 reveals critical component failures after 4,310 rounds. The rifle experienced feeding issues and light primer strikes, leading to the discovery of blown gas rings and a snapped cam pin. While performing adequately for the initial duration, these failures indicate the rifle is not suitable for serious use.
