What better way to celebrate our country’s independence than by ensuring that we have the well maintained tools to protect and defend it.

I fear a ton of crappy ARs coming to market because of the recent panic buying. This is how the Chinese AR parts got into circulation during the last panic :(

[@lucassolomon1079]

Honestly, the AR market was the one thing that I didn't think I had to worry about where the parts were produced because you cant technically have foreign parts in a firearm that was made in the US. Not including materials or accessories, I didn't think I would have to look for a "Made in China" sticker on AR parts. Now that I know that is a thing to look out for I'll do my best to do so.

[@johnphillips222]

When firearm quality is compared to automotive quality, the firearm industry is a hard failure. If 2% of automotive components failed in a similar manner, I would be instantly fired. If 0.2% of the automotive components were like this, there would be endless meetings and "help" given. The process controls in the firearms industry are garbage, although the military does have much better process controls and a TDP that are bot enforced. Civilian guns have garbage quality controls. I've had the experience of testing handguns and rifles for acceptance and legal purposes. The results are not pretty. The dishonesty in firearms marketing is creepy. Lies, lies, and more lies. Many "experts" are paid off or are useful idiots. It is refreshing to see people like Chad do the right thing. Facts do matter. The only saving grace for the civilian firearms industry is that 99% of all guns see less than 50 shots in their lifetime. I made up that statistic. An unused Taurus handgun will never fail. A safe queen AR will never fail, because it is never used. Imagine the warranty horror for a civilian AR company, if every owner fired a small amount like 1,000 rounds through their AR each year.

I'd really like to hear your thoughts on imported steel ammo, and the effect that it can have on your rifle

[@commodore92]

If that's all you shoot, then perhaps keep a rod handy in case one forms to tight, and maybe a spare extractor and you'll be fine.

[@workingguy-OU812]

The balance is, reportedly the training for cost you get while wearing out a barrel a little faster - just a little. I've seen the calculation, and considering how modular AR-15's are, it makes sense that the money one will save by shooting out a barrel with steel-case ammo will make up for buying a new barrel. This would seem especially true for a general-purpose AR with barrels that aren't $600 or more. Many shooters are quite happy with mere $120 barrels, so... hell, shoot them out (if you really can, and if you really have the time), then buy another barrel with the money saved.

[@Sickofsociety1]

Along time ago when steel cased was coming into the country by the boatload, I would shoot thousands of rounds of it. Just about everything I could get. .45 acp, 9mm, .223 and 7.62x39. I was curious if I could reload it. I figured what the heck. The primer was a little difficult to get out because it was swaged in place BUT the steel case was just as soft as brass for as far as I could tell. In the reloading process, I would treat the case the same way that I treated brass and couldn't feel a difference in resizing or any of the other steps involved. I don't know if that's the CASE (see what I did there?) now but they were fine back then. It was the late 90s, so things may have changed.

[@texasviking1]

@@Sickofsociety1 there’s a video on KZbin where a man does several Rockwell test on different steel case and brass cased ammunition. The results of this show that there is very little difference between the brass case and steel case. The steel they use is very soft.

[@Shieldsz]

Would be interested to see how many flaws you can find in my DD with a thorough inspection like this.. Something to start with the bolt catch can't properly reach the follower of multiple different magazines so it jumps over it and shears the edge of the follower off.. Resulting in the bolt not locking back on an empty magazine and sometimes getting the magazine stuck when the bolt catch jumps over the follower.

[@southernplinker9380]

He has a DD BCG inspection.

[@ovk-ih1zp]

I wonder if Anderson is using the sharp shoulder om the bolt-to-hammer interface to delay the bolt unlock fractionally, in the same manner that on a 1911 in .45 Super the square bottom on the firing pin retainer plate delays the unlocking on a 1911? If not that, it might just be sloppy machining on the carrier.

[@GClein72]

Been watching for awhile first time commenting love all your manufacturing level equipment you have to work with. but I did have 1 question at the beginning of the video when you compared firing pins the inadequate protrusion was attributed a defective firing pin but later in the video when you measured the cam pin hole in the bolt from my point of view it showed bolt stretch. in your opinion could that account for the protrusion issue. Just trying to understand if firing pin was actually out of spec as well as the bolt. Great video as always very informative

On top of that it gets even better I used a cheap Amazon Chinese armors tool that got chewed up and is chewing up my buffer tube trying to get it back off and I think I overtightened it some with the armors wrench so now its stuck on with the retaining pin stuck erect and trying to get it off with that tool I boogered up the threads some so hopefully not to bad to get it off with a vice and a real wrench but idk if I will be able to.
