Videos tagged with Overall Length

This video provides a detailed review of the MAC Agency Tradesman 1014 shotgun, highlighting its M4-style platform and numerous Agency Arms enhancements. The hosts verify key technical specifications such as overall length, height, width, weight, and trigger pull through hands-on measurement and testing, offering insights into the shotgun's build quality and performance.

This video explains the key legal distinctions between an AR-15 rifle and an AR-15 pistol, focusing on barrel length and overall dimensions. It highlights that rifles require a 16-inch barrel and 26-inch overall length, while pistols must be under 16 inches with an overall length of 26 inches or less. The instructor emphasizes the severe legal consequences of improperly configuring an AR pistol, particularly regarding the addition of a stock, which can reclassify it as a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) requiring ATF registration.

This is the second part of a "Reloading 101" course, focusing on creating consistent and precise ammunition, particularly for long-range shooting. The video covers essential reloading steps, including using a mandrel die, handling small rifle primers, priming brass, organization tips, powder throwing techniques, seating depth, overall length measurements, using a Datum Dial Kit, understanding bullet jump, determining powder charge weight, performing OCW tests (though questioned), and seating bullets. It's presented as a "how-to" guide for beginners in reloading.

This video details an advanced load development technique for the 300 Win Mag using Berger 200.20X Hybrid Target bullets and Hodgdon H1000 powder. The instructor employs a 'plateau method' by testing 10 charge weights across three overall lengths, aiming to identify charge weight regions where muzzle velocity remains consistent despite minor charge variations. The analysis focuses on correlating velocity data with accuracy to find a forgiving and precise load, while also exploring the impact of overall length.

This video details a personal challenge to achieve a high score on an ATF-related brace assessment, likely a subjective scoring system for firearm braces. The presenter meticulously measures and evaluates various features of their firearm setup against the criteria, highlighting potential ambiguities and subjective interpretations within ATF regulations regarding overall length, design features, and firearm classification. The process involves detailed measurements and point accumulation based on specific criteria.

This video clarifies the distinction between legal pistol braces and Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs) under current ATF guidelines. It emphasizes that the legality hinges on specific measurements like overall length and length of pull, as well as the brace's design for forearm use versus shouldering. The presenter advises against proactively seeking ATF approval, suggesting that most existing configurations that were legal previously remain so, and the new rules primarily impact manufacturers.

This video details the process of setting up Hornady reloading dies, specifically focusing on the installation and use of a micrometer seating die for precise bullet seating. The presenter demonstrates how to install the micrometer, select the correct seating stem for different bullet types, and achieve consistent cartridge base to ogive (CBTO) measurements. The guide also touches on the importance of proper die adjustment and the benefits of a micrometer for repeatable accuracy in handloads.

This guide details the process of reloading 300 Winchester Magnum cartridges using 200gr Sierra MatchKing bullets. It covers inspecting brass for potential failures, proper resizing and trimming techniques, accurate powder charging, and precise bullet seating to achieve specific overall lengths. The video also touches on troubleshooting stabilization issues and potential problems with sizing dies and reloading presses.

This guide details the ATF's updated rules on measuring AR pistols for National Firearms Act (NFA) compliance, particularly concerning stabilizing braces and vertical foregrips. Expertly explained by Guns & Gadgets, the information clarifies that braces are accessories and OAL is measured with folding braces in the folded position. The guide emphasizes understanding AOW classifications and the impact of vertical foregrips.

This video provides a quick overview of the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact pistol, highlighting its features and competitive positioning. It covers the firearm's 9mm caliber, 15+1 capacity (expandable to 17+1 with extensions), aggressive grip texture, interchangeable backstraps, ambidextrous safety option, stainless steel barrel and slide finish, front and rear serrations, ambidextrous slide lock, and standard 3-dot sights. The review also touches on its trigger pull weight, overall weight, dimensions, and estimated pricing.

This video details the reloading process for cloning Mk 262 Mod 1 ammunition, focusing on testing Sierra MatchKing and Nosler Custom Competition 77-grain bullets with Accurate 2520 powder. It covers brass preparation, including decapping, tumbling, resizing, trimming, and primer pocket crimp removal, followed by powder charging, bullet seating to a specific overall length (2.246 inches), and light crimping. The instructor also conducts ballistic testing to compare velocities and accuracy between the two bullet types, aiming to replicate the performance of Black Hills factory ammunition.

This video details the process of preparing previously fired 22 Nosler brass for reloading, addressing extraction issues encountered in previous videos. The presenter focuses on resizing, trimming (or deciding not to trim based on measurements), and seating bullets for optimal magazine fit. The guide highlights the importance of careful brass preparation and monitoring case dimensions to ensure reliable function, especially when dealing with potential extraction problems.
