These are the most informative videos about working on the AR platform I've ever seen. Keep up the great work. I appreciate when you talk about your tools and who makes them. As a hobbyist, I'd love being able to have access to professional tools, some of course are way outside my budget, but it is nice to know the names of the companies which make them.
Another great video, thanks Chad. I'm grateful you take the time to teach us. Your channel is one of the best resources I've come across, to date, to help make my rifles as reliable as possible.
Thanks for all the knowledge that you share with us, I really appreciate it. Yesterday I followed your advice and made a container of mobile 1 grease with mobile 1 oil. I did something that your wife wouldn't approve of though, I used my kitchen blender with one paddle to mix it with. Worked perfect.
a cleaning rod chucked into a drill with a plastic or brass cleaning brush worked well for me. My wife would not have been happy about using her blender lol!!!!
What is the actual minimal measurement of gap between the carrier key and the receiver? I run Vltor A5's and would like to check this. Please and thanks.
Very informative video. Any chance you could make a list of the size of gauges for each specific test or a diagram of the lower receiver with those dimensions?
Really glad I watched this one, turns out the gas key on my main rifle is extremely close to hitting my lower, added 2 quarters to the back of my buffer tube and now we’re good to go
Question...if any of your tests you performed were to “fail”, what would the remedy be? Say, for instance, the take down pins didn’t match up with your measurement tool? What would you the do to “fix” that? Great videos!
"Slave pins save lives!" Call me "cheap" but I save old drill bits or find them at garage sales to turn into slave pins. Just have to remember to anneal them first with a torch or they won't want to cut!
@school of the american rifle : Could you share with us the diameter of the gauge you use for checking the distance between the receiver and the back of the gas key? Thanks

@@SchooloftheAmericanRifle I don't see your email address listed anywhere on your website, and FB/IG messages are disabled. How does one go about getting in touch with you, sir? I'd like to send you a TRIARC for a physical, ideally for the channel as I've seen numerous people asking about them in the comments of your videos. *Edit:* Disregard the aforementioned request. I just came across your PSA "I'm completely overwhelmed with messages, texts, and emails, and I just can't anymore. I'm completely burned out. I'm at least 4 months backlogged in responding to just emails due to the volume I receive." This was from three months ago so I presume it's gotten even worse, as I just discovered you about three weeks ago. Don't want to add to the stress. Carry on, sir. I'm learning a lot through your RU-vid channel alone. Invaluable stuff, can't thank you enough for being so kind as to share your knowledge to help expedite the learning process for us.
First part of that question should be, how much will it cost me for you to implement the skills you've acquired and knowledge you've gained doing this for many years.
@@jordansprad I’m a single 21yo with a decent job lol with what I seen on his videos I’ll pay whatever price he wants haha I know a lot about them I don’t have to tools or the time to do a full look over.
I don't use every tool or gauge in my videos. I do own a digital version as well as a certified weight set. This one is the most affordable so I show it in videos.
