This guide details the installation of a tungsten guide rod and a heavy brass plug (Covert Magwell) on a Gen 6 Glock, as demonstrated by Lenny Magill, Founder/CEO of GlockStore. These upgrades are designed to significantly reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip, enhancing accuracy and speed during rapid fire. The process involves a standard Glock field strip, replacement of the guide rod, and a simple press-fit installation for the brass plug, with specific attention to reassembly steps.

This video from Desk Pop demonstrates a compatibility test for the C.A.R.L. three-round limiter, primarily with AR-15 platforms and their variants. The presenter, exhibiting expert-level knowledge, details how the limiter's functionality is dependent on proper hammer reset and cam rotation, often requiring specific trigger group components like a milspec trigger. Crucially, the video provides a detailed modification guide for the 'third sear' to ensure correct engagement with the cam, addressing issues that lead to more than a three-round burst. It also explores compatibility with various platforms including AR-9s, .300 Blackout, and .22LR AR-15s, highlighting the importance of back pressure from suppressors and clean firearm operation.

This guide covers essential stocking stuffer ideas for firearm owners, focusing on maintenance, customization, and safety.

It features multiple optics, lasers, lights, and is demonstrated with rapid fire, hip sniping, and Tannerite explosions.

This "ultimate AR-15 meltdown" test pushes a custom build to its limits, revealing key durability insights. The Faxon barrel ultimately burst after 830 rounds, but critical components like the Sharps SRC bolt carrier group and Geissele rail demonstrated impressive resilience under extreme stress and heat. The test highlights the AR-15 platform's robust design, even when subjected to conditions far exceeding typical operational use.

This video showcases an extreme full-auto durability test of a premium Definitive Arms VEPR AK, comparing it to a budget WASR-10. The VEPR AK demonstrated exceptional resilience, enduring 895 rounds before failure, significantly outperforming the WASR-10 and even a previously tested AR-15. The expert analysis highlights the AK platform's inherent durability and heat management characteristics, even under severe stress.

This video demonstrates the legendary durability of the AK platform by subjecting a Yugo M92 PAP to a 700-round continuous firing test. Despite extreme heat causing significant smoke and glowing metal, the firearm remained functional, showcasing Mikhail Kalashnikov's robust engineering. The test concludes with a cooling process and a tribute to the designer's legacy.
