Is Aeroshell 33 really the best for this job? Wish I'd known that, I would've saved a tube back when I was lubing landing gear. Used to come home completely caked in that crap every night. There's gotta be an alternate high temp grease.

Thanks for the video. I just did this for the first time tonight. When I initially hand tightened it, I needed about 270 deg of rotation to get it lined up correctly. I was skeptical as to whether I'd be able to get that much rotation out of the crush washer, but I did like you said, tighten, loosen, repeat, until it went around enough to line up properly. Some of the folks have asked how to secure the barrel in the vise. I used the Magpul BEV block and it worked quite well.

Great advice and video. A tip that would help make it as exact as possible is something I learned when putting barrels on Garand actions. Ensure the upper is perfectly level in the vice. Take a long and straight rod or dowel (a thin, squared-off piece of wood works best) and lay it on the upper receiver T-rail so that the ends of the stick extend out perpendicular to the barrel. Then take a slender rod or stick (a Popsicle stick works, but the longer the better) and slide the stick through the lateral flash hider ports in the A2 birdcage. Stare at the rifle from the muzzle end and look to ensure the two sticks are parallel and tighten as needed to make them exactly parallel. You should approach the final tightness before using this technique, leaving a slight amount of tightening left to achieve a perfect parallel result with the guiding sticks. As you said in the video, you don't want to loosen anything to get the right alignment, you should tighten to get there and then stop when it's good. That technique works when you really have to make sure it's exact, as with the M1 Garand where the front sight attaches to the barrel on the gas cylinder, so the threaded barrel going into the receiver needs to be as exact as possible. For the A2 birdcage, this kind of precision is not a necessity like it is on a Garand, but it's a technique to use if you really want to make sure it's the best you can make it. Great video, thanks!

I have always tightened it so that the centerline of the barrel is between two slots with the extra slot on the right. I'm right-handed and this pushes the barrel slightly to the left, compensating for the tendency of the rifle to pull to the right. It also ensures that the flash from the two slots straddles the sight line so you don't look directly at the flash.

WARNING: anyone doing this, you MUST lock your barrel from turning while doing this. otherwise you can end up turning your barrel, breaking the pin holding it place and knocking your barrel out of alignment which will almost certainly end in a catastrophic failure. Not fun when your bcg releases at 60,000 PSI. You won't have a good time.

There are several and some will lock like the one from RealAvid.com called LUGLOK for $79 which will probably be the one I will get since you can lock your barrel in multiple angles. Just saw a video about about several tools from them to work on AR’s and was impressed. Just getting into building my first AR and I know some people will probably just laugh and say you don’t need all that stuff but I like to work in a real clean environment and I’m pretty sure this won’t be the only AR I will ever build. I hear it’s contagious and you can’t stop. I hope so....

For flash hiders, compensators, muzzle brakes (not "break"), you must secure the barrel. DO NOT USE an action block for this. If you do, the barrel will twist in the receiver, and the index pin on top of the barrel will dig into the index slot in the receiver and the front sight base will be canted to the shooter's left. By the same token, when mounting a barrel to the receiver, DO NOT USE barrel vise jaws. When the barrel nut is tightened the receiver will be twisted against the barrel's index pin and the front sight base will be canted to to the shooter's right. Always use vise jaws for muzzle devices, and always use an action block for mounting barrels.
@colterdoerr6227
@colterdoerr6227 Жыл бұрын
an action block (midwest) acts as an extension of the barrel, does it not? As it fits into the barrel extension itself, so be being held in the vise it really acts like a barrel vise (with torque stress on the barrel extension teeth)? This is how it was explained to me by the people at brownells. Im still trying understanding it all. so you're saying to buy a vise that clamps over the outside of the barrel instead? (whereas the midwest action block locks into the inside). So really its inside vs outside clamping?
@saxmusicmail
@saxmusicmail Жыл бұрын
@@colterdoerr6227 A "reaction rod" fits into the barrel extension. Most action blocks I have seen (and I own two different ones) do not. The device I was talking about is barrel vise jaws. They come as two L cross section vise jaws that have cutouts to fit small dia. and large dia. barrels. These are used to clamp on to the barrel itself. This way any torque applied to the muzzle device is isolated only to itself and the barrel. It can't twist the barrel in the receiver or unscrew the extension. I've done this for more than 30 years. One last tip... when using an action block, remember to use the receiver insert or a bolt carrier inside the receiver so that you do not bend the sides of the receiver.

I thought the reason the bottom of muzzle devices were solid or without ports/slots was so the gas being forced up and out keeps the barrel from rising? Gas being forced down besides kicking up sand/dirt/debris while in a prone position would push the up, correct?

The tightening and loosening was a good point. Something I would do naturally but I've been a mechanic for over 20 years. Not so sure about Aeroshell 33 though. It wasn't made for guns it's used on aircraft landing gear. It is high heat grease but not something we would use in extreme high heat applications like ignitor threads. That would call for high temp antiseize compound.

Just looking at the VG6, it's a tad too tight based on the different holes. Think of it this way. The VG6 is designed to compensate for muzzle rise, so directs exhaust force downward. As long as this is aligned with muzzle rise, then it's working as intended. However, because that force down is no longer aligned with muzzle rise, it's pushing a tad off to the right side.

@@Xandrosi Sounds like you have it on upside down. The exhaust should be expelled upwards which pushes the end of your barrel downwards (opposite the direction of kick). Since you likely have it on wrong (I can't see it, maybe you have it on right) you can reinstall it using a new crush washer (single use item) and some shims to get the proper alignment. Midway and Brownells both sell shim kits exactly for that purpose and they aren't too expensive either.

Good info with the Arms Guide articles too. I'm installing a standard A2 flash supressor on a 9 mm AR carbine barrel. The A2 needs to be timed about 210 degrees--I know max 45 degrees per tightening. Any comment on how to secure it in the vice? Wood or leather got it. Any concern about deforming the barrel? I reckon not since it is steel. Thanks for the help.

Giselle reaction rod works great. A little pricey but worth the expense. I have it between two pieces of wood in a 3 inch vice. The vice needs to be tightened significantly to avoid the rod/upper assembly from moving but that was more of an issue with the barrel install than what I anticipate with the muzzle device as no torquing is needed and the loosen/tighten methodology NZ85 mentions will be used.

Thanks! I ended up using a wood vice at a local school- oops, sorry about that indention, teacher. That'll sand out right? Anyway, you are right. Wood is good in metal vice. It's good to go now. Happy shooting!

The only thing one really needs to know is how do you get the old crush washer off.
@JenkinsStevenD
@JenkinsStevenD 4 жыл бұрын
Well...it has been 2 years. Did you get the old one off? You might need to use a heat gun. You could take your rifle to the range with you and get the vice/reaction rod all set up and send 30 rounds through it, clear it, move it to the vice/reaction rod and then torque it too. Should be pretty hot. I prefer that method over standing in my garage with a heat gun.

no matter how hard i try to get with in at least half a turn before i have to start using a wrench i can't get there. i get stuck at 3/4 of a turn before i need a wrench is that much ok? i see here you were just under half a turn until it was set.

@Patrick Faricy I don't have much experience with ARs so I don't like doing work without making sure I'm not going to screw something up. I've had the vice block for awhile now. Still concerns me that some part of the barrel is going to get damaged so I used a strap wrench bracing in the opposite direction of torque. I didn't have any anti seize. Do you think that's necessary? I really don't understand why someone would use Aeroshell 33. I would think that a rifle barrel gets much hotter than what that is rated for. That grease is for aircraft landing gear which gets hot but not rifle barrel hot.
