Made something similar several years ago. I used large snap swivels to attach zingers and other items. I've tried adding tippet spools, but I'm not sure I like the way I've attached them. Other then that mine has worked well. It's great in the kayak too.
I take it that making sure the barrel surfaces and barrel nut surface are flat is not as important. Probably because they're steel and likely machined better?
OK, that's for assembly. What about dis-assembly? How do you remove the barrel when that is necessary? Cured Loctite 620 retaining compound does not become elastic until 572°F.
5:00 Headspacing DOES NOT happen between the outside of the barrel extension and the upper receiver. It DOES happer between the bolt and the barrel extension. I know you are probably thinking in terms of a bolt action but the headspace is set when they install barrel extensions on the barrel. headspace gauges are only needed if you install the barrel extension yourself
I dont get it is it a fashion item, do make matching earrings, what has it got to do with fishing, whats with the beads, you need to explain what use its for?
He lost me with the headspace issue headspace is set by the barrel extension. And where is the anti seize or aero shell grease, he probably just galled the threads on his receiver. If anyone is watching this please continue to look at more content from others between that and common sense you can learn to do things in a way that won’t damage your gear.
I hate when I look to the web for how to and I get bullshit nitwit with bullshit information stop making videos about guns till you know what you are doing please believe me you don't know what you are doing
Use shim material from any auto parts store like you are supposed. Loc-Tite is bull shit for this, sure it works , but what do do you want that dried goop in their is beyond me. Shim ss comes as this one wrap around the tighten & you got it. Even without anything you'd been fine, that is what the barrel nut is for.
the loctite 620 works awesome for this and is much tighter than you will get with shim stock. I have done it both ways. People are so scared of the loc tite its hilarious tbh. It's not even a poroblem if you need to change the barrel later, heat gun and 30 seconds the barrel slides right out.
Ya, ah what happens when you fire the AR for even 10 shots? It gets hot. What about when 20? What about a mag dump? You're the one that's Hilarious.😨😰@@pwn3426
Great vid - built ARs for years and I'm pretty sure I just ran across my first noticeably out-of-true receiver face. Got my lapping tools coming in the mail. Looking forward to better alignment and tighter shot groups!
Nice! Looks great and like you said, safety! My grand kids are going to love the pontoon boat when they see these light up after sunset next weekend at Anclote Key! Thank you for a great video sir, fish on!
You take material off the face you risk the extension moving to far into the upper (just a few thou) which will cause the feed ramps on the extension to overhang off the ramp cuts (m4 cut) in the upper.
A little bit of advice and do not listen to this idiot find someone else but actually knows what they're talking about The fact that he thinks you can change headspace of your barrel by lapping your receiver is one of the many things he says that is incorrect and shows his ignorance
FWIW, lapping the front of the receiver is only going to get you part of the way there. That's a really loose fit. You need to add shim stock or get a custom barrel extension from BAT that's oversized the correct amount to fit your upper. You may not expect 1/4 MOA, but if your using a single round sled, an AR is capable of it. If you're ripping rounds out of a loaded mag, 1/2 MOA is pretty good in my book.
Looks like you followed the same path I did--bought the Wheeler kit and discovered it had an unacceptable amount of runout. Then bought the Pacific Tool lapping rod and used the Wheeler lapping compound with it...
@@pwn3426HAHA! How so? Prove it. All it did was make it “smoother” I absolutely guarantee you 200% that it made absolutely zero impact whatsoever on accuracy or function. Choose your response carefully. There is copious data and examples to prove that AR lapping is useless. If your upper is so bad that you think it needs lapping, return it if it makes you feel better, because your shot grouping surely won’t.
@@zeck8541 Well buddy you can believe what ever tf you want, no one cares . Those of us who know, know. You sound ignorant about the "copious data and examples to prove that AR lapping is useless" when i have seen just the opposite of that, exactly. My question is honestly why do you care so much about someone lapping the upper? I have done before and after and seen the results, and I have no desire or need to prove to you buddy. How bout you prove to me it doesnt work if you care so much...... I'll be waiting for this "copious data and examples to prove that AR lapping is useless" that you talk about.... "Choose your response carefully" GTFO ROFL
That's a machined surface lapping it isn't needed. When you lap you mate two surfaces like when valves are lapped into a valve seat. Your only doing one side on a part that's already flat you can't lap a surface flat you need to machine it flat.And stop using lock tight not needed and only creates problems later.
Probably only works for extremely loose fitting parts. I bet there won't be any difference if he tested this gun with or without. He should prove it by testing with aeroshell, nothing, then loctite.
I have tested without bedding and with bedding both after lapping the upper, and there is a difference. My groups tightened up at 100y. Mine has a sloppy fit just like his. Colt upper with a ballistics advantage barrel.
headspace is not affected in lapping a reciever.. the barrel has an indexing pin. if you take a little off the reciever that pin still stays in the same place.....
If your barrel wiggles in the receiver then you need a different receiver, a higher quality one. If tge tolerances are off in tge front, then they are most likely off over the entire receiver. A good quality upper, lower, and barrel will provide better results that bedding will.
Ok bro i have watched quite a few build video's and i have seen in each and everyone of them that they back off the nut after tightening it ,several times before they send it home. They "all" say it helps the greese spread threw the threads so it wont be hard to get back off again later. This isnt something you do? Why not???? Like i said im a greeny my friend so dont take it the wrong way! lol
