This guide outlines a 10-minute monthly maintenance routine for AR-15 owners to ensure longevity and prevent malfunctions. It emphasizes proper lubrication of the bolt carrier group (BCG) and strategic cleaning, rather than excessive scrubbing. Key steps include the gas ring test and careful barrel cleaning to avoid damaging the crown.

This video provides a detailed physical inspection and testing procedure for Sons of Liberty Gunworks bolt carrier groups. The instructor demonstrates how to check for proper fit, dimensions, and potential defects using various gauges and visual inspections. Key tests include gas ring functionality, bolt tail and face fit, carrier length, cam pin fit, firing pin protrusion, and extractor clearance, offering insights into ensuring bolt carrier group reliability and performance.

This video provides an in-depth, expert-level inspection of Ruger AR556 bolt carrier groups. It details checks for carrier key screw staking, gas ring seal, internal surface finish of the carrier and bolt tail, firing pin protrusion and binding, cam pin fit, extractor spring security, and bolt face dimensions. The analysis also covers carrier key alignment, bolt magnetism, and critical headspace checks using both 223 Wylde and 5.56 NATO GO gauges, highlighting numerous potential issues found in the tested components.

This guide details the effects of neglecting AR-15 maintenance, particularly with suppressed use. Expert Trevor demonstrates how significant carbon buildup can impact components like the safety selector and Bolt Carrier Group (BCG). A critical gas ring integrity test is shown, revealing worn rings that compromise the BCG's seal. Despite heavy fouling, the rifle's functionality is tested, highlighting the importance of regular cleaning and component checks for sustained reliability.

This guide details basic AR-15 maintenance, emphasizing inspection as a key part of cleaning. It covers checking critical components like the extractor, ejector, and gas rings for wear and proper function.

This video provides an in-depth, expert-level examination and upgrade procedure for Young Manufacturing Bolt Carrier Groups (BCGs). Lead Firearms Instructor and SEO Strategist details a comprehensive inspection process covering headspace, extractor function, ejector pins, firing pin protrusion, and bolt face integrity. The guide includes step-by-step instructions for replacing worn components with upgraded parts like Michigan Made optimized carry key screws, Sprinco ejector springs, and spiral coil pins, along with modifications to ensure proper fit and function. It emphasizes critical checks and potential failure points, offering practical solutions for common issues encountered with BCGs.

This video provides an in-depth physical inspection and testing of five Knight's Armament Company (KAC) bolt carrier groups (BCGs) and one Lewis Machine & Tool (LMT) Enhanced Bolt. The instructor meticulously gauges various dimensions, checks for wear, and assesses the internal finishes of the carriers. The process includes replacing carrier keys and screws, performing torque tests, and highlighting the unique features of the LMT Enhanced Bolt, offering valuable insights for AR-15 owners and gunsmiths.

This video provides a detailed physical inspection and testing procedure for two Sharps Rifle Company Bolt Carrier Groups (BCGs). The instructor performs a series of tests including gas ring tension, ejector and cam pin fitment, firing pin movement, extractor function, magnetism, headspace, and bolt tail seal. The inspection also utilizes a borescope to examine the internal machining quality of the carriers. While both BCGs passed basic functional checks, the analysis highlights areas of concern such as rough internal machining and potential gas inefficiency in one unit.

This video provides a detailed physical inspection of a Forward Control Designs (FCD) Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) by School of the American Rifle. The inspection covers the BCG's coatings (OD Green Cerakote on the ejection port, MP3 on the rest), component checks (firing pin, cam pin, gas rings, extractor, ejector), and critical measurements like firing pin protrusion and bolt/carrier fit. The presenter emphasizes the importance of these checks for ensuring proper firearm function and reliability.
