This video from Line 45, presented by Scott, clarifies the critical differences between .223 REM and 5.56 NATO ammunition and their corresponding rifle chambers. It emphasizes that while often mistaken as identical, these calibers have distinct pressure ratings and chamber designs, particularly concerning freebore length. Understanding these differences is crucial for rifle longevity, safety, and reliable performance, especially in survival (SHTF) scenarios.

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 entry clarifies a common point of confusion regarding firearm ammunition capacity, distinguishing between the chamber and the magazine. Instruction from Johnny Q, demonstrating an expert understanding of firearm mechanics, highlights that the chamber itself holds only one round, while magazines can hold many more. This distinction is crucial for accurate understanding of firearm operation and capacity.

This video from Top Guns in Indiana aims to educate new firearm owners on basic terminology. It covers essential parts of a semi-automatic handgun, including the slide, barrel, muzzle, frame, trigger, trigger guard, magazine, manual safety (when present), slide stop/release, and chamber.
