This guide details the process of replacing the mainspring on a Swiss Luger 1900. It covers identifying a failed mainspring, the correct direction for removal, manipulating the grip safety, compressing and installing the new spring with safety precautions, and reassembly. The new spring is noted to be significantly stiffer, requiring a specific operational technique for this model.

This guide details the disassembly process for a specific 19th-century Warner revolving carbine, highlighting its unique design that omits a traditional ramrod and loading lever. The process involves removing a single screw to detach the barrel assembly, which then rotates and slides off. This method is distinct from typical percussion revolvers.

This video provides an expert-level overview of Daniel Defense's Cold Hammer Forging (CHF) process for rifle barrels, led by Engineering Team Lead Lee Woody. It details the preparation of precision blanks, the simultaneous forming of chamber and rifling through hammer forging, and the final precision finishing steps. The explanation highlights how CHF creates compressive stresses for enhanced durability and consistency in high-volume production, ensuring precise alignment between the chamber and bore.

This guide explains the sear mechanism in single-action revolvers, as detailed by The Yankee Marshal. It clarifies that revolvers do have sears, which are the engagement points between the hammer and trigger. The process involves cocking the hammer, which pulls the trigger until the trigger's leg locks into a notch on the hammer. Pulling the trigger further disengages this lock, allowing the hammer to fall and fire the weapon. The guide emphasizes the simplicity of this mechanism compared to semi-automatic firearms.

This guide details an expert firearm instructor's attempt to disassemble the Madsen 1945 pistol. Despite extensive knowledge and comparison to other models like the Colt 1903 and Ruby pistols, the instructor faces a challenge with this specific firearm. The video highlights the difficulty in identifying the correct disassembly procedure, focusing on the barrel's knurling and a non-obvious slide plunger mechanism.

This video provides a detailed breakdown of the SKS rifle, challenging the common perception of it as a 'garbage commie rifle.' The instructor meticulously disassembles the firearm, explaining the function and design of various components, including the unique tilting bolt mechanism, the integrated bolt cover, and the fire control group. The explanation highlights the SKS's surprisingly refined engineering and safety features, offering valuable insights for firearm enthusiasts and designers.

This guide details the installation of a Geissele MK8 Super Modular Rail on an AR-15 platform. It covers securing the upper receiver, installing the barrel nut, gas system, and the rail itself, emphasizing the use of specialized tools and proper torque specifications. The process requires an intermediate skill level and careful attention to detail for a secure and functional build.

This guide, based on expert instruction from Brownells, details essential practices for proper ammunition storage. It emphasizes using airtight containers, managing humidity with desiccants, and maintaining stable temperatures to ensure ammunition reliability and safety. Proper storage is crucial for preventing corrosion and propellant degradation, especially for sensitive components like primers.

This guide details the process of upgrading an AR-15 from standard A2 furniture to Magpul components. It covers the removal of the A2 pistol grip and installation of the Magpul MIAD Grip and Magpul PRS Stock. The video demonstrates efficient assembly using specialized tools, highlighting the ergonomic benefits and adjustability of the Magpul parts. Instruction is provided by Brownells, a recognized industry authority.

This entry details the creation of a movie prop suppressor for a Remington 11-87 used in 'No Country for Old Men.' Prop master Larry Zanoff explains how the suppressor was designed to look homemade and was non-functional, with sound effects added in post-production. The process highlights the creative problem-solving involved in film armory.
