Disassembly of SU16

A real-life view of the process required to disassemble the SU-16 variants ...
(Please be kind with your comments as my hands/finger have suffered neuropathy due to high exposure to chemotherapy)

[@yl4773]

Same here, just got mine. I’ll be rewatching this quite a few times! Thank you for being very thorough with disassembly and assembly!

As a cancer survivor I wish you the best in your fight against cancer and it's a hell of a fight especially with strong chemo which I had also, I was 11 when I was diagnosed, I beat it within a few years and I'm now 39.

[@geomall]

That makes me happy to know that you also won the fight against cancer. Peace brother .

Would you recommend doing this type of disassembly / cleaning before a first range visit?

[@geomall]

your cat wants to join in

Pets always steal the show 🤣

[@Afro137]

Can you completely remove the stock and buffer tube it looks like it’s only screwed on and not an important part like a traditional AR-15

[@geomall]

@Afro137 it can be completely removed. An AR style buffer can replace it I believe.

[@Fzkzjfm]

How reliable is this rifle? Will it hold up to 5,000 rounds without anything breaking ?

[@geomall]

I haven't fired 5000 however I am well over 1000 and no issues.. gas system great

[@Fzkzjfm]

⁠@@geomallthanks man appreciate it

[@vi3tbwoi]

Did you use it straight out the box or did you clean it first?

[@geomall]

@@vi3tbwoi I always clean a new gun.. always.

[@vi3tbwoi]

@@geomall thx for the video and reply. This is literally only vid i can find of how to disassemble it!

[@geomall]

@@vi3tbwoi I hope it all is well.. thanks.

[@bryanvetor4529]

Is the very first pin to take out when you fold it in half a punch out or a button??

[@mnyee1995]

It's a punch out pin. There are some videos showing that you can replace that with a pin you can buy from Home Depot. Just Google pin for SU-16. Somebody also sell pin replacement with ring on the end to make it easier to pull out without tool.

[@sophielegaudiet8699]

I just got mine but Its all very stiff and I’m having a hard time taking it apart. I can’t even get the gas tube pulled back. Any suggestions or tips?

[@geomall]

Are you turning the piston rod tube so that the tab is turned upwards? If the position of the piston. You should then feel spring tension on it. Anyway you can send me a vid so I can see what you doing?

[@geomall]

@sophielegaudiet8699 sorry I missed your msg.. if it doesn't go back then you need to turn it more to free it up.. the first time I had trouble as well

[@krisz0632]

I still cant get the gas tube out, i turn it from 3 to 12 and it still is stuck. Super frustrating

[@geomall]

Make sure the bolt head is extended out when removing or placing back in. Is it getting caught after removing the charge handle and tilting it back or is it not moving at all? Look at the gas tube placement..is the tab is not at 12 o'clock and physically move it till it clears

[@geomall]

If not I can send you another short clip on that
