The bolt carrier group is the heart of every AR15. Keeping it clean and lubed is vital to the lifespan and reliable function of your rifle. Kirk walks us through how to do just that.
Really nicely done. The resolution is good enough to actually see what you’re doing, and the camera work was good. One question: you mentioned that getting lubricant on the bolt face can lead to issues. What sort of issues are you referring to?
Had my ar a little while now, went through 1k rounds as of yesterday so decided to finally clean it (didnt clean it when i first got it) it took me an hour of searching and 5 videos of me tryong to figure out how the "bottom part" of the cam pin was supposed to go back in before i finally realozed the cam pin is broken lol
Loved the video. Helped explain a little better to a buddy. What brand of long cotton swabs do you use? Any of the long ones I’ve tried so far snap with more than slight pressure. 😑
Don’t need to clean and lubricate anything if I ain’t got no ammo to shoot. My BCG has been squeaky clean for a year! I may or may not have cleaned it multiple times for no reason....but I do love my aero and ballistic advantage products!
I’ve been getting bored and started to take apart my ar and all of my other guns here soon I’m gonna get a gun cleaning kit bc I have a few guns I’ve owened for over 7 years that have NEVER been cleaned
Exactly... good videos, but they usually leave out some critical point as I discovered on my 1st Aero build; fortunately I never trust just 1 source of info. Extremely pleased with my Aero coyote rifle build (upper and lower). Any USMC grad would freak out on this cleaning omission.
Good simple video. One comment, hint. It is not a race to the end of the video. Slow down your talking and make sure that you enunciate. Also, the background music adds nothing. Actually it is somewhat distracting.
I wonder what happened to the guy that got told to shut up. Feels like I am the one that got told to shut up cause my comment got deleted with the reupload. I love your stripped lowers by the way.
If the carbon on the back face of the BCG is allowed to retain carbon and continues to layer upon itself eventually there will be a problem. That carbon needs to be removed. IMO
While videos like this are greatly appreciated, I wish this fellow would have slowed down a bit. He doesn't enunciate well, almost mumbles at times. It would also be nice to actually see the parts he's trying to describe. I'm not familiar with this cleaning process, this video leaves much to be assumed by the author.
Don't purchase AP products. 1 BCG has the worst finish out of the box and 2 weeks ago I purchased a NB BCG for an AR-10 build and it does not cycle. They will not return emails after sending pictures and now have to spend another $240 to get the rifle running again. Go with a brand that has good quality control and good customer service. Aero has lost their way and will bad mouth them every chance I get.
@@scout3058 Had 2 issues with their uppers as well with no reply from service. After researching, I'm not the only one with issues. They have s**t QC now. Their lowers seem to be fine.
@SHOKona-wp4vr I've been running an Aero upper with Aero BCG (not NB) since 2017, and had zero issues. Maybe you're right though. Maybe they lost some focus after that.
