How to Clean Your AR15: Fast + Simple Step by Step

This guide details the essential steps for lubricating a new AR-style rifle before its initial firing, as demonstrated by an experienced instructor. It covers proper disassembly, specific lubrication points on the bolt carrier group and trigger mechanism, and reassembly. The video emphasizes the importance of lubrication for new firearms, drawing a parallel to car maintenance, and highlights the performance of the We The Pieu MX1 lubricant in hot conditions like those found in Utah.

This video provides a straightforward, step-by-step guide on how to field strip and reassemble an AK-47. It emphasizes safety by starting with a clear firearm and walks through the removal of the dust cover, recoil spring, charging handle, and bolt carrier group. The reassembly process is then demonstrated in reverse.

John Lovell, demonstrating expert-level knowledge of the AR-15 platform, explains the function of the forward assist. This feature is designed to manually drive the bolt carrier group fully into battery when fouling, debris, or other issues prevent it from seating properly. Lovell compares its utility to backup sights, emphasizing its value as a redundancy for ensuring reliable operation, especially in adverse conditions.

This video demonstrates the correct procedure for checking a firearm's barrel for obstructions. It emphasizes that looking down the barrel from the muzzle end and seeing no 'daylight' is not a reliable indicator of an obstruction, as the bolt face will naturally block the view. The correct method involves disassembling the firearm, removing the bolt carrier group, and then inspecting the barrel from the breech end.

This video demonstrates how to improve shooting accuracy through dry fire practice using the Laser Ammo Flashbolt system. The system replaces the standard BCG, allowing for laser-based trigger pull and reset simulation, enabling users to practice trigger control and speed drills at home without expending ammunition. It highlights the importance of dry fire for consistent shot placement.

This guide explains the function of the buffer tube in an AR-15 or AR-pattern rifle, as demonstrated by Jared from GUNBROS. The buffer tube is a critical component of the operating system, housing a buffer and spring. Upon firing, the bolt carrier group compresses this spring and buffer assembly as it moves rearward, and the subsequent expansion of the spring drives the BCG forward to chamber the next round. This process is essential for the semi-automatic function of AR-pattern firearms.

This guide details the operation of the Genesis Gen12 shotgun, a 12 Gauge short-recoil semi-automatic firearm. It covers equipment preparation, loading with high-capacity magazines, and engaging targets with a rapid-fire sequence. The instruction emphasizes smooth magazine transitions and proficient recoil management, highlighting the platform's AR-15 style controls. The video showcases the Gen12's cycling speed and effectiveness on steel targets.

This video showcases an advanced 3-Gun shoot house drill, demonstrating rapid target acquisition, efficient weapon transitions, and controlled movement through a complex environment. The drill emphasizes proficiency with both rifle and pistol platforms in a dynamic setting. Instruction is provided by Farewell Firearms Training, highlighting professional-level competitive shooting techniques.

This video demonstrates an advanced firearms training drill at West Orlando Firearms Training (WOFT), focusing on high-speed steel target engagement and rapid reloads. The instruction, provided by a professional firearms instructor, highlights techniques such as rapid target acquisition, sub-second reloads using extended baseplates, and proficient use of a Trijicon SRO red dot sight on a custom Glock-style pistol. The drill emphasizes advanced recoil management and target transition skills essential for competitive shooting.

This video showcases the G9 Defense External Hollow Point (EHP) .45 ACP ammunition. It highlights the unique solid copper, fluted projectile design, emphasizing its potential for effective defensive performance. The presenter, from Farewell Firearms Training, focuses on the projectile's construction and the ammunition's specifications, including its 117-grain weight and 1400 FPS velocity.
