This video highlights a quality control issue found in two Ruger AR-556 rifles with front sight base models. The chambers exhibit significant roughness, not due to fouling, which may require professional attention. One rifle might be repairable through honing, while the other may necessitate a barrel replacement from Ruger.
This guide details the setup and use of the Lyman Borecam 2.0, a smartphone-connected borescope for inspecting firearm barrels. It covers unboxing, assembly with caliber-specific mirrors, app connectivity via Wi-Fi, and the process of inserting the device into the bore to visually inspect rifling, gas ports, and chamber areas. The tool allows for capturing photos and videos of bore conditions, with adjustable LED brightness for optimal viewing.
This guide details the inspection process for a Zastava M70 AB2 surplus rifle, focusing on external wear, internal components, and critical safety checks like headspace gauging. It highlights potential modifications from blank firing use and emphasizes consulting experts like Jim Fuller for safety assessments. The process involves visual inspection, manual round seating for stability assessment, and precise headspace checks using Go/No-Go gauges, crucial for ensuring safe live-fire operation.
This guide details the press check technique, a crucial safety and operational inspection for handguns, as demonstrated by the GUNBROS host. It emphasizes visual confirmation of the chamber's status without fully racking the slide, which is particularly beneficial for safe dry-fire practice. The instruction highlights the importance of muzzle discipline and proper firearm handling.
This guide details three essential methods for performing a press check on a handgun, as demonstrated by a professional firearms retailer and instructor from GUNBROS.

This video demonstrates the fundamental firearm clearing procedure, emphasizing the importance of confirming a firearm is unloaded. It highlights the psychological aspect of doubt after clearing, often humorously represented by internet memes. The demonstration follows safe practices, including visual chamber inspection.
This video provides an unboxing and review of the Teslong NTG100 digital borescope, demonstrating its use for inspecting firearm barrels, rifling, gas ports, and locking lugs. The instructor highlights its 48-inch semi-rigid probe, adjustable LEDs, and compatibility with PCs and smartphones via USB or USB-C. Key features discussed include the importance of probe diameter (0.2 inches for 223/5.56) and adjustable mirror attachments for achieving proper depth of field. The review also includes a giveaway for a second unit.
This guide details how to check headspace on an AK47 using Go, No-Go, and Field gauges. It emphasizes proper cleaning, bolt stripping, and the correct procedure for gauge insertion to ensure firearm safety. The video highlights that a rifle closing on a Field gauge is unsafe and requires immediate attention from the manufacturer.
This guide details a technique for testing the headspace of an AK-pattern rifle after rapid firing, as demonstrated by an expert instructor from Military Arms Channel. The process involves performing initial cold headspace checks with go and no-go gauges, followed by rapid firing to heat the weapon. The crucial step is re-testing with a no-go gauge while the firearm is hot to determine if heat expansion affects chamber dimensions enough to compromise safety. The expert emphasizes that proper firearm maintenance and immediate attention to any failed headspace test are critical for safe operation.
This video provides a comprehensive review and demonstration of the Lyman Borecam Digital Borescope. The instructor, with experience in firearms and reloading, details the setup, operation, and limitations of the device.
