Warsport LVOA (AR-15) Field Strip

Published on November 4, 2019
Duration: 8:43

This video provides a detailed field strip guide for the Warsport LVOA AR-15, applicable to most Direct Impingement (DI) AR-15 platforms. The instructor demonstrates the step-by-step process of disassembling the upper and lower receivers, including the bolt carrier group, and offers insights into specific components like the nickel boron BCG and aftermarket parts. The guide emphasizes safety checks and proper reassembly techniques.

Quick Summary

To field strip a Warsport LVOA AR-15, first ensure it's unloaded by dropping the magazine and clearing the chamber. Then, push out the rear takedown pin, pivot the upper receiver, and remove the bolt carrier group. Disassemble the BCG by removing the firing pin retaining pin, firing pin, and cam pin.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start the field strip process for an AR-15 like the Warsport LVOA?

Begin by ensuring the firearm is unloaded. Drop the magazine, visually inspect the chamber to confirm it's clear, and then drop the bolt. This safety check is crucial before proceeding with any disassembly.

What are the benefits of a nickel boron bolt carrier group (BCG)?

Nickel boron BCGs are known for being very slick and naturally lubricated, making them easier to clean. Much of the grime and dirt can often be simply wiped off, simplifying maintenance.

Why do Direct Impingement (DI) AR-15s get dirtier than piston systems?

DI systems direct hot propellant gases back into the receiver to cycle the action, which inevitably carries more fouling and carbon buildup. Piston systems isolate this gas, keeping the receiver area cleaner.

How do you reassemble the bolt carrier group (BCG) for an AR-15?

Reassembly involves inserting the bolt into the carrier, followed by the cam pin and firing pin. Finally, secure the firing pin with its retaining pin. Ensure the bolt is pulled out when reinserting the BCG into the receiver.
