PSA's new JAKL 308 Battle Rifle.

This guide details the disassembly of the Daewoo K2 rifle, a standard South Korean service rifle. Expert Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, demonstrates the process, highlighting its hybrid design incorporating elements from the AR-15 and AK-47/AR-18 platforms. The guide covers removing the upper and lower receivers, bolt carrier group, bolt, and gas piston, emphasizing inspection and cleaning for maintenance.

This guide details the field stripping process for the FN SCAR 17S, a battle rifle known for its reliability. The video, presented by Administrative Results, a high-level firearms influencer, covers the steps for disassembly, including removing the lower receiver, bolt carrier group, stock, and barrel. It emphasizes the importance of safety checks and highlights the SCAR 17S's short-stroke gas piston system and quick-change barrel feature.

This guide details the disassembly of the Armalite AR-16, a rare 7.62 NATO battle rifle. It highlights key components like the short-stroke gas piston system and stamped sheet metal receiver. The video, presented by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons, offers an expert-level look at this historically significant prototype.

This comprehensive guide details the field stripping, cleaning, and inspection process for the FN FAL and STG58 rifles, led by an expert gunsmith. It covers essential steps like safety checks, receiver separation, gas system disassembly, fire control group breakdown, and critical headspace measurement using specialized tools. The instruction emphasizes the rifle's robust design and mechanical intricacies.

This guide details the field stripping process for the FN SCAR-17S, focusing on its unique short-stroke gas piston system. It covers identifying the BCG, understanding the piston's function, and the role of the adjustable gas block. Proper safety protocols are emphasized throughout.

This guide details the field stripping procedure for the rare Ingram Westarm .308 battle rifle, as demonstrated by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons. The process highlights a unique disassembly method initiated by a spring-loaded button on the sling swivel, allowing for the separation of the receiver from the stock. Expert insights cover the rifle's internal mechanics, including its long-stroke gas piston and rotating bolt system, and its historical context as a never-fully-produced prototype.

This guide details the proper technique for safely loading the M1 Garand, specifically addressing the common 'Garand Thumb' phenomenon. It emphasizes maintaining downward pressure on the en-bloc clip during loading to prevent the bolt from slamming forward prematurely. Expert instruction from Garand Thumb highlights this as a key safety measure for new shooters.

This comprehensive review of the Russian Altyn helmet, presented by Garand Thumb, details its construction and ballistic performance. The helmet features a 3mm titanium shell with an aramid liner, rated for pistol and fragmentation threats. Testing reveals it stops 9mm and .44 Magnum rounds but fails against rifle calibers like 5.56x45mm and 7.62x39mm. Despite its robust construction for its intended role, its significant weight and lack of rifle protection are noted as drawbacks compared to modern alternatives.

Garand Thumb, a recognized subject matter expert in tactical equipment, critically assesses the effectiveness of ballistic face masks. The video details rigorous testing using realistic ballistic dummies and various firearms, from handguns to rifles, to measure projectile stopping power and backface deformation. The conclusion highlights significant risks associated with these masks, primarily due to severe deformation, suggesting they are often 'gimmicky' and less effective than traditional head protection.

This guide details the correct technique for loading the M1 Garand rifle, specifically addressing how to avoid 'Garand Thumb.' It emphasizes the 'bladed hand' method, a crucial technique for safe and efficient loading demonstrated by the speaker. Proper execution involves a swift, decisive motion to seat the en-bloc clip while protecting the thumb from the forward-moving bolt.
