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 YouTube video title, 'Is this thing the eject button? 😂😭', suggests a humorous or perhaps surprising moment related to firearm operation. The emojis indicate a mix of laughter and shock, implying a potentially unexpected outcome during a shooting or handling scenario. Without a description or transcript, it's difficult to ascertain the specific firearm or context, but the 'eject button' phrasing likely refers to an action like a magazine release or casing ejection.

The Rossi Brawler is a budget-friendly single-action pistol chambered in .45 Colt or 3-inch .410 shotshells, featuring a 9-inch barrel and a unique ejector system. While not ideal for self-defense due to its single-shot nature, it offers potential for range fun and plinking, especially with the availability of .410 shells. Its inexpensive price point makes it an interesting addition for collectors or those seeking a unique firearm experience.

This video explains a rare firearm malfunction: a detonation during remedial action clearing on a 2011 pistol. The incident involved an exploded case, a deformed primer, and a hand injury from the slide. The speaker, Ben Stoeger, discusses potential causes like primer striking the ejector, emphasizing that this is not a common occurrence but has been noted with .40 S&W calibers historically.

This guide breaks down seven commonly misunderstood rifle features, drawing on expertise from Jim (Backfire), Gavin (Ultimate Reloader), and Erik Cortina. It covers critical safety aspects like gas escape ports and firing pin mechanics, as well as performance enhancers such as bolt shrouds, fluting, and lug configurations. Understanding these elements is key to safe operation and consistent rifle performance.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of a proper chamber check, debunking the myth that simply racking the slide multiple times guarantees a firearm is unloaded. It details the mechanical process of extraction and highlights potential failure points. The instructor, demonstrating high authority and expertise, provides a clear, step-by-step guide to ensure a firearm is safe before handling.

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 video provides a practical troubleshooting guide for AR-15 rifles using the MEALO acronym.

This video details the evolution of the BFG-50 rifle, highlighting design changes made over 22 years by designer Mark Serbu. It covers modifications to the barrel extension, ejection port, scope base, bipod attachment, bolt carrier group, trigger group, and muzzle brake. The discussion emphasizes improvements in manufacturing processes, material choices, and part commonality across different BFG models.

This live Q&A session from Small Arms Solutions covers a wide range of firearms-related topics. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise, addresses issues with Sig AR pistols, discusses the Chris Vector's ergonomics, and analyzes the potential for 5.56mm round development. He also provides insights into the 300 Blackout cartridge, the PSA KS47's performance, and the Benelli M4 shotgun's combat-proven status. The discussion extends to ammunition quality, manufacturing challenges for retro AR parts, and the debate between nitriding and chrome lining for barrels.
