This guide details 17 habits for extending the life of an AR-15, drawing on military armorer data. Key practices include listening to the rifle for early warnings, adhering to specific cleaning intervals, inspecting critical components like bolts and springs, using appropriate lubricants, and managing heat. Following these steps can help an AR-15 exceed 20,000 rounds of reliable service.

This comprehensive guide from CJ at AT3 Tactical details the complete disassembly and reassembly of an AR-15 Bolt Carrier Group (BCG). It covers field stripping using minimal tools and then proceeds to a full deconstruction, including the extractor, ejector, and gas rings, with recommended tools and techniques for each step. The guide emphasizes proper lubrication and function checks for reliable operation.

This video provides an in-depth look at common wear points on a Rock River Arms Bolt Carrier Group (BCG). It highlights issues with gas rings, specifically a wide gap indicating potential failure, and a damaged cam pin due to excessive friction. The instructor recommends replacing these parts to ensure continued serviceability of the BCG.

This guide provides a step-by-step process for field stripping and reassembling an AR-15 rifle, covering the separation of upper and lower receivers, disassembly of the bolt carrier group, and reassembly of all components. It emphasizes safety checks throughout the procedure.

This guide details the disassembly and reassembly of an AR-15 bolt carrier group, as demonstrated by John G. Johnson. It covers the removal of key components like the firing pin retainer, firing pin, and cam pin, followed by reassembly. The video emphasizes proper orientation of parts and the function of the gas impingement system.

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 guide details the comprehensive cleaning process for a heavily fouled Cobalt Kinetics Pro Series AR-15 rifle, emphasizing the use of Radco CLP to break down stubborn carbon buildup. The instructor, Joe, demonstrates a thorough field strip, component cleaning, inspection for potential failure points like the cam pin and bolt, and reassembly. He highlights that while the rifle ran despite extreme neglect, regular cleaning is crucial for reliability, and advocates for a practical approach rather than a spotless deep clean for everyday maintenance.

This video provides an in-depth review of the E2 Armory Titanium Nitride Bolt Carrier Group (BCG). The reviewer, who has extensive experience with firearms, details the BCG's construction, materials, and performance after approximately 2500-3000 rounds. Key features highlighted include the 8620 steel carrier with hard chrome internal plating, the 9310 steel bolt, and the durable titanium nitride exterior coating. The review emphasizes the BCG's reliability and ease of cleaning, noting minimal wear only on the bolt lugs.

This guide provides a step-by-step process for cleaning and reassembling an AR-15 rifle, emphasizing a fast and simple approach. It details the disassembly of the upper and lower receivers, the bolt carrier group, and offers specific advice on cleaning, lubrication points, and inspection of critical components like the firing pin, cam pin, and bolt. The instruction concludes with a thorough function test to ensure proper reassembly and operation.

This video demonstrates the disassembly and reassembly of the SU-15 bolt carrier group, highlighting its unique design compared to a standard AR-15 BCG. Mark Serbu, the gun designer, explains the process, emphasizing how the SU-15's integrated op-rod design simplifies disassembly by eliminating the need for a separate firing pin retainer. The video also touches on the design influences from Daewoo firearms and the benefits of CAD in its development.

This CMMG Q&A addresses common questions about their Radial Delayed Blowback (RDB) operating system, covering topics like buffer weights for .45 ACP builds, cam pin differences, compatibility with traditional blowback systems, and available barrel lengths for 9mm RDB uppers. It also touches on magazine fitment for Glock drums and the use of the action tuning kit for suppressed or varied load situations.
