This guide details how to inspect an AR-15 Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) for critical defects, specifically peening marks on the carrier rails. Instruction from School of the American Rifle highlights how improper peening can lead to significant damage to the upper receiver. Proper inspection is crucial for ensuring BCG longevity and firearm safety.

This guide details the inspection of an AR-15 bolt carrier group (BCG) after extensive use, focusing on identifying wear and potential failure points. It covers checking the bolt, gas rings, extractor, firing pin, and bolt carrier for stress fractures, damage, and carbon buildup. The video emphasizes that parts wear out over time and regular inspection is crucial for maintaining reliability, especially after high round counts exceeding 30,000 rounds.

This video provides a detailed guide on installing Geissele Brownells exclusive AR-15 triggers, differentiating between single-stage and two-stage models. It highlights the unique retaining clip system used on these more affordable Geissele triggers compared to standard models. The installation process is demonstrated step-by-step on a cutaway lower receiver, emphasizing proper pin insertion and function checks.

This video demonstrates an inspection of a PSA M16 Phosphate/Chrome BCG using a reject gauge. The BCG fails the gauge test, indicating dimensional issues that could lead to premature wear or cracking. A Microbest BCG is shown for comparison, which passes the gauge test.

This video addresses common issues found in two KAK bolt carrier groups (BCGs), specifically focusing on damaged extractor pivot pins. The instructor demonstrates how rolled-over pins prevent proper extractor function and require replacement. Additionally, rough surface finishes in the carrier key tunnel bore are highlighted as potential causes of premature wear and cycling issues.

This video demonstrates a critical quality control check for AR-15 bolt carrier groups, specifically focusing on the fitment of the carrier key. Instructor shows how to use a Go gauge or a gas tube to verify that the carrier key's opening is within tolerance. A significant failure rate was observed in the tested batch, highlighting the importance of this inspection for reliable firearm function.

This guide details the process of diagnosing and repairing an owner-induced feeding problem in an AR-15 upper receiver, specifically addressing a burr on the barrel extension's feed ramp. Expert gunsmith Chad Albrecht demonstrates meticulous inspection, burr removal, and polishing techniques to restore reliable feeding. The video emphasizes that such modifications, while often overlooked, are valid solutions for specific AR-15 malfunctions.

This guide details a diagnostic technique for AR-15 bolt carrier groups, focusing on efficiency rather than simple pass/fail. Developed by Chad Albrecht of School of the American Rifle, it uses custom gauges and cutaway components to illustrate gas dynamics, critical seals, and potential failure points like gas leaks. This advanced method helps troubleshoot functionality issues and understand the nuances of the AR-15's internal gas system.

This video provides a critical, expert-level inspection of a problematic AR-15 Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) by Chad Albrecht of School of the American Rifle. The analysis details numerous manufacturing defects, including an undersized bolt tail, excessive firing pin protrusion, oversized firing pin and cam pin holes, and a failing headspace check. The content highlights the importance of precision gauging in identifying critical failure points that impact rifle reliability and safety.

This guide details a specialized technique for swapping an AR-15 rear takedown pin without requiring a full disassembly. It leverages insights from Chad Albrecht of School of the American Rifle, emphasizing the use of a modified 1/16 inch Allen wrench or a specialized tool to manage the detent. This method is particularly useful for AR-15 variants with collapsible stocks, offering a more efficient approach to maintenance.
