This video from School of the American Rifle announces the re-availability of SOTAR BCG bore gauges, offered in two versions: one with a US-made handle and another with an imported handle. The organizer tray, made by Suppressor Tools.com, is also highlighted as a way to keep these gauges organized. The instructor emphasizes that these gauges are for checking dimensional efficiency within the bolt carrier, not for determining good or bad status.
At Shot Show 2024, Rugged Suppressors introduced the Serge X, an evolution of their Surge 762, offering reduced length, weight, and gas blowback. The Serge X features a modular design with full (9 inches) and short (6.5 inches) configurations, ideal for carbines. It utilizes the Rugged Universal Mount (RUM) system, compatible with direct thread mounts and industry-standard threads. The Alaskan 360 TI is highlighted for its lightweight design (6.6 oz) and suitability for .338 Lapua Magnum and handguns. The Razer 762 showcases the Dual Taper Mount, designed to prevent carbon lock and ensure concentricity for accuracy.
This guide details the process of checking headspace on an M1 Garand after replacing the bolt. It emphasizes the importance of using go and no-go gauges to ensure the chamber dimensions are within safe operating tolerances. The video demonstrates the correct procedure, highlighting that a properly functioning Garand bolt should close on a go gauge but not on a no-go gauge, preventing potential safety issues.
This video provides an in-depth review and durability test of the FB Radom Beryl rifle in 7.62x39mm. The presenter conducts a 'swamp test,' submerging the rifle and then firing it, demonstrating its resilience. The review covers the rifle's performance in extreme conditions, including water and mud exposure, and examines internal components for wear and rust after approximately 2000 rounds. The video also assesses the reliability of a Primary Arms SLx MD-25 red dot sight under adverse conditions and concludes with a headspace test using a no-go gauge.
This video addresses common questions regarding firearm headspace gauges, specifically focusing on Go, No-Go, and Field gauges. The description emphasizes that the content is for learning purposes and explicitly warns individuals without the necessary skills not to attempt the procedures shown. It also includes a Patreon link for viewer support.
This video debriefs a 5000-round test of a VSKA AK47, with the instructor admitting he was wrong about the S7 trunnion material. Despite extensive use, the rifle showed minimal wear on critical components like the bolt carrier, trunnions, and hammer. Accuracy remained consistent, and no parts breakage occurred, leading to a positive assessment of the rifle's durability.
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 YouTube video from VSO Gun Channel delves into the critical distinction between a "NO-GO" gauge and a Field Gauge, specifically in the context of 7.62x39mm ammunition. The description emphasizes VSO's role as an educational resource and a contract research and development lab, clarifying that they do not sell firearms but rather focus on objective testing and responsible gun ownership. The video likely demonstrates the practical application of these gauges to ensure firearm chamber safety and proper ammunition fit, a crucial aspect of firearm maintenance and safe operation.
This comprehensive 5,000-round durability test of the Romanian Paratrooper AK reveals its structural resilience and reliability with various ammunition types. While the rifle held up well overall, significant barrel erosion was observed after 3,500 rounds, impacting accuracy, especially when hot. The test highlights the importance of barrel inspection and managing heat during rapid fire. Expert analysis suggests potential modifications for the trigger and recommends specific muzzle devices due to barrel weakness.
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 guide details how to check AK headspacing using go, no-go, and field gauges, as demonstrated by experts Rob Ski and Chase Sisgold. It emphasizes proper technique, the importance of not using excessive force, and identifying signs of wear that indicate a need for gunsmith attention. Proper headspacing is crucial for safe and reliable firearm function.
This guide, presented by Larry Potterfield of MidwayUSA, details the critical process of checking headspace on an AR-15. Proper headspace is essential for safe and reliable operation. The procedure involves using specialized 'go' and 'no-go' gauges after preparing the bolt and thoroughly cleaning the chamber. Failure to achieve correct headspace can lead to malfunctions or dangerous conditions, necessitating bolt or barrel replacement.
