This video details an AR-15 build that intentionally pushed the limits of conventional wisdom, challenging common assumptions about what makes an AR-15 function. The builder addresses numerous 'fatal flaws' cited by the internet, demonstrating that an 18-inch barrel with rifle-length gas, a lightweight aluminum bolt carrier, a skeletonized receiver, and the absence of a buffer retainer pin can all work together effectively. The build highlights the importance of understanding gas system dynamics, buffer and spring tuning, and the role of quality magazines in achieving reliable operation.

This video from InRangeTV's 'What Would Stoner Do' project focuses on the AR-15 bolt carrier group (BCG). The instructors emphasize using a standard, full-auto weight BCG for maximum reliability, cautioning against lightweight carriers due to potential issues with dwell time and ammunition variances. They highlight the importance of a properly staked gas key, preferring one that is machined as a single unit with the carrier over a screwed-in and staked version. The bolt itself is considered a consumable part that should be replaced periodically for critical applications.

Cosmc Manis from Lancer Systems introduces the new Outlaw rifle at SHOT Show 2013. This rifle builds upon their Super Comp model, featuring a tunable Nitrous compensator for muzzle climb reduction, a lighter LCR5 handguard with aggressive slotting, a lightweight bolt carrier, and a fixed carbon fiber butt stock. It also incorporates a nitrided stainless steel gas block for wear resistance. Additionally, Lancer is debuting a five-round magazine with a stop mechanism to limit follower travel.
