This expert advice from GUNS and American Handgunner Magazines strongly advises against using steel wool for gun cleaning unless specific products and tools are known. Instead, it recommends utilizing professional gun cleaning services offered by full-service gun stores once or twice a year. These services are presented as a cost-effective way to ensure firearms are properly cleaned, lubricated, and undergo a safety inspection, potentially identifying and rectifying minor issues.

This video demonstrates John Lovell's preferred method for lubricating an AR-15, prioritizing oiling over extensive cleaning for standard maintenance. Key steps include applying Slip 2000 EWL directly to the Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) through the ejection port and magazine well, ensuring lubrication of vent holes and internal components. The process also covers lubricating the receiver and star chamber, followed by cycling the charging handle to distribute the lubricant effectively.

This guide provides essential steps for cleaning and maintaining firearms with scandium frames. It emphasizes treating scandium like aluminum, using light cleaning and oil, and avoiding abrasives. The importance of checking for flame cutting, even with protective guards, is also highlighted.

This guide provides a crucial maintenance tip for the Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22, addressing a common issue with the ejector assembly during cleaning. The School of the American Rifle instructor demonstrates how to protect the ejector from damage by using a simple tool like a drinking straw or heat shrink tubing, preventing costly repairs. The advice comes from an expert armorer, highlighting the importance of proper firearm care.

This expert-level guide details the proper field stripping, cleaning, lubrication, and reassembly of the Springfield Armory Echelon pistol. It emphasizes safety checks at the beginning and end of the process. The video demonstrates the use of the Tactical Elites gun cleaning kit and specific cleaning solutions and lubricants for optimal firearm maintenance.

This video hilariously tests a heavily accessorized AR-15, dubbed the 'Zombie Carbine,' as a parody of excessive tactical gear. The build, based on a Smith & Wesson M&P15, weighs 23 pounds fully loaded with 270 rounds across nine magazines. 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.
