This guide details a diagnostic technique for AR-15 bolt carrier groups, focusing on efficiency rather than simple pass/fail. Developed by Chad Albrecht of School of the American Rifle, it uses custom gauges and cutaway components to illustrate gas dynamics, critical seals, and potential failure points like gas leaks. This advanced method helps troubleshoot functionality issues and understand the nuances of the AR-15's internal gas system.

This guide details the operation of a Glock G17 Gen 4's 'Safe Action' system using a cutaway model. It explains the function of the three internal safeties (trigger safety, firing pin block, drop safety) and how they disengage sequentially during the trigger pull. The guide also illustrates the unlocking process, extraction, ejection, and re-chambering cycle, emphasizing the importance of understanding these mechanisms for troubleshooting and safe handling.
