My g3 a4 is from 1977 in outstanding condition, cleaned it all but the only pic that does now wana come out is the pin for the cocking handle, its just not budging, sprayed it with wd40 and put oil and still does nit wana come out😂😂😂 i dont wana bash the hell out of it. Any ideas in hand, love to know.
My g3 a4 EN from 1977, the pin is just not comming out even tho i put oil and wd40 lol its just stuck, i dont wana be banging tje hell out of it, as you said it just pops out, guess i got to hit a lil harder lol. Good vid ya did🤜🤛
sorry but thats apples to oranges! why are you comparing them? i dont see the point of comparing a lwrc bcg piston to a bcm di bcg. good video quality!
@@TheBrackishCoast is there a piece that goes in between the cocking handle Mount and the carrier? I can't find it in the diagram anywhere but I recall there was a piece . it was cracked and I lost.
@@danquartullo8677 I was referring to the nub permanently affixed to the cocking tube. The spring tension on the handle causes the handle to engage the nub and stay in place. The cocking lever assembly consists of the piece inside the cocking tube, spring, pin and handle. Is your spring missing from the lever assembly? That could cause this issue.
It's self cleaning. If you need to disassemble it.... Remove/separate handguard. Remove BCG. Hold piston forward with one hand, then grab the knurled section of the small rod in the middle. Pull rearward on the rod until it clears the piston cup, then pivot the rod out. Then the piston and op-rod(?) can be removed. The whole process only takes a few seconds.
@@TheBrackishCoast thank you for the reply! Spent a min yesterday trying to get it lgs has a used m6a2 I’m new to piston guns and like taking them apart and cleaning them whole process was easy putting it back though that sucker was a little harder
I thought legally the hole can’t be over 1/8” and you need a pin with a bushing made inside the frame and it has to be a blind hole the other side of the reciever must not be drilled through. You can drill deep enough the pin sits in and the open end welded on. That’s my understanding bcos other wise if you install it to hk spec it is a mg folks be careful
If your target is close, 50 meters or less...... don't bother with the rear sight, both eyes open look over the rifle and use the front sight only, that's what's it's designed for and that's why it's so big.
LWRC guns are a system, designed to work in harmony. The DIY’ers who assemble from parts will never appreciate the difference’til they’ve driven one. The attention to detail is remarkable. Btw, all of their designs were for military contracts. Their stuff is torture tested which is why they are so obsessed with the parts working as smoothly as possible.
Can you tell if the upper receiver is standard Milspec where the piston enters into the upper? The reason I asked is that I recently purchased some LWRC barrels that are the same length as yours and look to be the same generation (legacy models) for around $50 a pop on Gunbroker and I see that LWRC has all the parts available from the piston cup, spring cup, rods and BCG, which made me consider adapting this to a receiver like the Aero Precision M4e1 just for shits and giggles. Aside from the barrel, the remaining parts would only be around $300 total, plus shipping.
Does anyone know why when I install my extended charging handle on a PTR91, it bends up the charging handle spring and never gives much return power? I've had an issue with The rifle not locking up in battery and it looks like the charging handle never pivots away from the 90° unlocked position and essentially slams on the piece at the end of the cooking tube.
There's a MOLLE adapter for the Flektarn double pouches. Edit: It's actually an ALICE adapter but MALICE clips will work to attach them to the MOLLE webbing.
Excellent video I know this is old as shit vid but do you still have this gun and have you had any problems with it , I found one cheap for today's prices and I'm about to buy it for 750ish lol
I still have it, though it's being stored elsewhere. I put over 10k rds through it. Probably got close to 15k. Unsuppressed, it's the cleanest AR I've ever fired. It stayed remarkably clean internally. Suppressed, it was almost as dirty as any other AR. I replaced the buffer spring and piston return spring(like $5-10 or so each) every 4 thousand rounds. Only had 4 malfunctions. Two were directly attributable to ammo. Primers popped out of reloads and bound up the FCG. The other two were back to back on the second day of a 1,500 round carbine class, shooting suppressed. No cleaning. Went another 200rds to the end of the class without issue and no cleaning. Overall it was a fantastic rifle. My only real gripes are the barrel weight and the complete lack of a decent modern handguard for this older model with a standard upper receiver(the handguard in this video is not recommended). The new production uppers have a proprietary receiver with an extension that a proprietary handguard mounts to. IDK what model you are looking at.
It's a Choate Machine & Tool, Mark 5 stock. It came stock on a Mossberg 500 I had purchased many years ago. I just swapped it to the 590A1 when I got it. www.riflestock.com/store/product/mossberg-500-590-600-835-and-maverick-88-mark-5-pistol-grip-stock/
Just got mine. Put it onto my Mossberg 590A1. The shells are super tight in the pockets. I put them in with brass down, the promptly fell out onto the ground while shooting. Shells need to be brass up.
@@TheBrackishCoast It seems like it was, I was installing a new spring as my dad messed the last one and destroyed it. Managed to get it in after 3 hours of cussing and screaming. If the pin came out it would've been a million times easier
Just a suggestion but you might want to do this video over and tell viewers to put that spring under tension before it goes into the slot. I had to fight with this thing for much longer than necessary because a critical piece of information was left off.
Clear the weapon. Remove the upper. Remove the BCG. Access the gas system by whatever means your particular rifle has.... Hold the piston cup forward while pulling the center rod rearward. It will separate from the piston and can be angled away and removed. Then remove the piston cup. Then the op-rod and return spring can be removed. Assemble in reverse order. Once you access the gas system, all that comes out in a few seconds.
Will the Daniel defense DDM4 15’ quad rail fit the M6a2 without modifying the gas block? I never liked the short quad rail.. made the gun feel heavier..
@@edikku6461 Not sure. It all depends on the upper receiver. Is it the standard style GI/MilSpec or does it have the bell/direct mount for the LWRC handguard on the front.
The LWRC BCG in this video was the piston BCG from an old M6A2. The LWRC bolt in this video is no longer offered in 5.56(only 6.8 SPC) due to a lawsuit from the companies previous owner. The LWRC DI has a standard style bolt. The carrier has unique features that make it nicer than the average carrier. The entire LWRC DI bolt and BCG will interchange with a GI style BCG. The bolt from the old M6A2, while different in design as this video points out, is still interchangeable as well. The M6A2 carrier is not, as it is proprietary to the piston system. That said, if you already had a premium BCG like the DD, I don't think your gonna get much more from the LWRC DI BCG other than coatings and a improved gas key setup. Probably not worth the money. If you were buying an entire rifle (in DI), the LWRC DI in my opinion, though equal in terms of quality, is a better value. A DDM4 V7 and LWRC DI for the most part, have many of the same features. Flared magwells, pinned gas blocks, CHF barrels, H buffers, etc. The LWRC DI adds full ambi controls, better furniture(IMO), improve bolt carrier design and coatings and a much better(though proprietary) handguard to upper interface. It does this for $500 less than the DD. You aren't gonna go wrong with either in the end.
At about 48 seconds, you state that “this is the bar that pushes the bolt carrier”. I think in an AR the gas pressure coming down the tube is only responsible for unlocking the lugs, and the gas pressure down the barrel moves the bolt carrier. That’s the way I understand it. Thanks for the informative video.
No. On both a DI and Piston AR, the op-rod/gas tube(gas pressure inside BCG) move the bolt carrier rearward. The rearward motion of the carrier moves the cam pin down the cam path and rotates the bolt to unlock. Same basic function in most modern rifles. Gas pressure, carrier moves, cam path rotates bolt, bolt unlocks.
