At 4:58 timestamp. They make tools to install those clips. They are made size specific if anyone is looking to buy them. You have two different size clips there, so it would require two different tools. It makes life so much happier when you have them.

@williamharvey3658 they can get expensive if you need several different sizes. I worked as a mechanic for John Deere many years ago when I learned about them. John Deere used those clips in some places where you could barely fit your hand, the old man mechanic saw me struggling with one one day and he told me that I needed a Jesus tool. I ask him why he called it a Jesus tool and he said that if you don't have one then you'll spend all day praying to Jesus for help.

@williamharvey3658 I pulled out my Ruger American Gen 2 to work on my trigger and wanted to let you know that I use the Waldes Truarc e-clip install tools and I used the E15 .025 size for the large e-clip you removed in the video and the E12 .015 size for the smaller e-clip. The ones used in the trigger assembly may be metric, but these standard sizes do work. I've removed and installed the clips several times as I'm adjusting the trigger travel length on mine, and these sizes work flawlessly.

Well, the Vanguard is quarenteed to shoot sub moa. 2nd, all copper projectiles tend not to group super tight for me. Have you tried other brands of ammo and weights? P.S. Make sure your stock screws are torqued to 35 inch/pds, tighten front 1st. Very, very important for consistent accuracy.

I own 3 vangards. One shot great Other 2 were not satisfactory to me. Free floated both and am very pleased with accuracy. My reasoning was they are Howas in a Weatherby stock, just make them back into a Howa. Have since replaced stocks with aftermarket wood stocks and am never going to sell or trade them. Do not know if this is common but worked fantastic for me.

I'm in the middle of this same issue. New Vanguard First Lite edition in 6.5 Creedmoor. Shooting .25" groups at 50 yards. Spread to 2.5" at 100. Moved my front bag to be closer to the receiver, and my poi dropped 3 inches! Which means my barrel is being deflected upward by where my front rest is located because the barrel contact with the stock. In the process of floating the barrel now. Hopefully this will fix it.

You wouldn't expect it, but they ship without gear oil and they dont make it very clear that you need to add it before using it. You need to add 80-90 weight gear oil. Doesn't take much, but it does need to be added.

@@williamharvey3658 You actually remove the grease fitting and there is another brass plug 180 degrees across from it. With both the grease fitting and the plug removed fill one side or the other with gear oil until it comes out of the other side. Reinstall the plug and the grease fitting and you are good to go. Not sure why they put a grease fitting on it. If you go to AGT's website, you will see this cutter. Somewhere down in the description there is a sentence telling you that you have to add gear oil before use. They have several brush cutters and they all have the same warning. It's really dumb and there are numerous people that have seized them up because of this and have to install new bearings. I also replaced the bolts that hold the blades to.the bottom plate. Those tend to break from the factory as well. Upgrade to a higher grade bolt. Once you do both of thees things, it will work awesome and for a quarter the price of some others. Hope that helps.

@@williamharvey3658 I hear you, and to answer your question in general - AGE APPROPRIATE things. Not operating heavy equipment or machinery of any kind and for a very good reason - children do not have the same cognitive abilities as adults, and most importantly the same physical strength and stamina. If something went wrong a child could panic in this situation and you wouldn't be able to do anything with your camera in hand except unwillingly document a disastrous event, which unfortunately you created. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say, it's not from envy or hatred - its out of love. I want to leave you with this, as it always reminds me why we should not allow kids to PLAY with ADULT toys, it happened back in 2008, copy and search this into google to read the story: "Police Chief Among 4 Indicted in Boy’s Death at Gun Show"
