This guide details two methods for removing lead fouling from revolvers: using Shooters Choice Lead Remover chemical solution and the mechanical Lewis Lead Remover tool. The chemical method involves saturating patches and allowing the solution to dissolve lead, while the Lewis tool uses a compressed brass screen to scrape lead from the barrel and forcing cone. Both methods require thorough cleaning afterward, with an emphasis on safety due to lead exposure risks.

This guide details the cleaning process for the Pindrop XL suppressor, emphasizing that most suppressors don't require frequent cleaning. It highlights the specific risks associated with .22LR lead fouling and advises against regular solvent use due to potential lead poisoning. Recommended cleaning involves dish soap and hot water, with mechanical methods for carbon deposits. The Pindrop XL's design allows for body replacement without a new Form 4.

This guide details the process of deep cleaning a firearm barrel to restore accuracy and prevent malfunctions. It emphasizes safety, proper cleaning direction, and the use of specialized solvents for different types of fouling. The importance of inspecting the barrel with a bore light or borescope is also highlighted.

This guide details advanced modifications to the Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 rifle for marksmanship training, specifically for Project Appleseed. It covers stock and sling setup, optics and charging handle installation, trigger and internal component upgrades, and extensive gunsmithing for accuracy enhancement. The instruction comes from an expert with a deep understanding of the AR platform and rimfire nuances.

This video details the extensive cleaning process required for a heavily fouled Tikka T3 Light rifle chambered in .308 Winchester. The speaker encountered significant lead and copper fouling, necessitating multiple cleaning cycles with various specialized products and borescope inspections to assess progress and identify potential barrel defects. The process highlights the challenges of maintaining firearm accuracy when dealing with severe bore contamination.

This video details a significant lead fouling issue encountered with a SIG P322 pistol, even after the barrel was reportedly replaced by the manufacturer. The presenter conducts extensive testing with various .22LR ammunition types, using a borescope to document the rapid and severe lead buildup. The findings suggest a potential systemic issue with the P322 barrels, as the fouling occurred much faster than expected and even with ammunition types cited by SIG as being used for testing.

This video demonstrates a realistic home invasion self-defense scenario using force-on-force training with Simunition. Expert instruction from Chris Cerino highlights the importance of tactical techniques like the 'Shoulder Bump' for improved weapon handling and cover utilization. The training emphasizes stress inoculation and identifying areas for improvement to increase survivability.

This guide, based on instruction from Mike Seeklander, a professional trainer and competitive shooter, details tactical movement and cover techniques. It emphasizes proactive avoidance, proper use of cover, and minimizing exposure when engaging threats. The techniques are demonstrated using various firearms and accessories, highlighting practical application in self-defense scenarios.

This video demonstrates critical self-defense principles through simulated real-world scenarios, emphasizing the importance of situational awareness, cover, and verbal de-escalation. Instructor Chris Cerino, a high-authority figure, guides participants through mistakes made in high-stress situations and provides actionable training to improve performance. The content highlights the necessity of practical, stress-inoculated training beyond basic concealed carry.

This guide details the operation and shooting of the North American Arms (NAA) Ranger II mini revolver, focusing on its unique break-top design. Expert Ryan Gresham highlights the ease of loading/unloading and its historical appeal, while demonstrating effective shooting techniques for this compact firearm.
