This guide details the mud testing procedure for the FN FS2000, as demonstrated by Karl Kasarda of InRangeTV. The test focuses on the rifle's reliability under extreme conditions, highlighting its sealed design and forward-ejecting mechanism. Kasarda, a recognized firearm testing expert, emphasizes the FS2000's ability to function despite heavy mud contamination, even with the ejection port open.
This comprehensive review by Small Arms Solutions examines a wide array of magazines for the AR-15 platform, categorizing them from military-grade to plinker-grade. The instructor, with extensive experience in manufacturing and troubleshooting, highlights the historical evolution of magazines, from early steel waffle patterns to modern polymer designs. Key insights include the impact of follower design on feed reliability, the durability issues of early polymer magazines, and the superior performance of modern options like the Magpul PMAG and Lancer AWM. The video emphasizes that magazine quality significantly influences weapon system reliability, often being responsible for a majority of malfunctions.
This video provides an in-depth review of the FN FS2000, the civilian variant of the F2000 rifle. It highlights key differences from the military version, such as the barrel length and optic, and draws parallels to the P90, particularly in its ambidextrous safety selector and charging handle. The unique forward ejection system and its implications for reliability and maintenance are discussed, along with the rifle's non-drop-free magazine system and its impact on its commercial success. The presenters note its discontinuation and potential for increased collector value.
This review highlights the Lancer Systems L5 AWM as a superior AR-15 magazine, combining the durability of USGI metal magazines with the lightweight and weather-resistant properties of polymer. The L5 AWM features a durable polymer body with enhanced grip textures and wraparound metal feed lips, addressing common failure points of all-polymer magazines. The reviewer, from Locs N Load Firearm Reviews, emphasizes their reliability and recommends them for their best-of-both-worlds design.
This video from TFB TV, hosted by James, discusses 'Gun Speculating' – making strategic firearm and accessory purchases in anticipation of potential future bans or increased demand due to political climate shifts. The focus is on identifying items that may become difficult to acquire or significantly increase in value. Key recommendations include stocking up on USGI and aftermarket AR-15/AK-47 magazines, purchasing AR-15 stripped lowers as registered components, and considering niche magazines for less common platforms. The video advises against purchasing handguns or obscure battle rifles for speculative purposes.
This video demonstrates the functionality testing of refinished USGI magazines for an AR-15 platform. The creator previously showed the refinishing process and now confirms that the tested magazines performed flawlessly. The video also includes promotional codes for Battle Arms Development and TekMat. It's a straightforward showcase of magazine reliability after refurbishment.
This video details how to restore worn USGI aluminum AR-15 magazines to a like-new condition using a Mil-Spec dry film lubricant, Perma-Slik G. It also covers upgrading internals with Magpul anti-tilt followers and Ranger floor plates for improved reliability. The process involves thorough cleaning, degreasing, oven drying, and careful application of the Perma-Slik G coating for a durable, corrosion-resistant finish.
