Oiled yes, cleaned no but most of the time an oilings all you need anyway

[@JacOb-tj8zs]

Notice the oil HARDLY MOVED its because those pieces dont touch inside the receiver!! Gotta lube the right parts of the bcg. The 4 rails

[@TheWeirdedBeardo]

They'll never get it dog. That was a rough watch😅

[@Wretched2JZ]

Yup!!!

[@Bjgetsturdy]

Not the port holes!!!😮

[@royceschoice7106]

Exactly what I thought🤦🏻‍♂️

[@WesternEagle223]

I’d separate the upper and lower with the back pin and do that, maybe take out the bolt assembly and lubricate that too. But that isn’t cleaning

[@8BloodyKnuckles]

I dig the videos and info. I don’t work on guns for a living… which is not only why I watch these videos… it’s why I don’t get paid to be an armorer. I read through the comments. Thank you for the explanation regarding the bolt closed vs open during the cleaning and oiling.

[@TrajectoryArms]

Glad they are helpful! Some videos like these are just for fun but we really do try to help as many people as we can.

[@brandondang7156]

Is this enough to maintain ar?

[@Ryan-cx5zr]

@@brandondang7156this ain’t it at all. It’s not hard at all. Your basic oiling takes 2 min tops. What this guy is doing does nothing. Take your Bcg out, look at the places it’s wearing and oil that.

[@stoapy.]

I will be needing that

[@Mako-sz4qr]

Another oil the exhaust ports video 😂

[@CompanyHaze]

😂yes...that's a no

[@offhand_dominant]

The wetter the better🤌🏼

[@TrajectoryArms]

[@mikeanthony07]

Watch an instructional video on cleaning and lubing your AR.

[@DerWaidmann_]

You need to oil the cam pin and the lugs. The exposed part of the bcg doesn't even need anything that's not even a contact surface

[@REDNECKROOTS]

You kno that part of the bolt carrier dont even ride on anything or even touch inside the receiver for thst matter right. 😂

[@quickshot100]

Just hold the barrel straight up and pour a judicious amount of oil down the barrel then cycle the bolt several times. After that shake the excess oil out and you're good to go😮

[@mike81egan]

What optic mount is that & is it lower 1/3rd?

[@CompanyHaze]

I was told NEVER put lube there....was i told wrong????😮

[@TylorAcosta]

Welpthatswhatnottodo carbon

[@22lrSavage]

I would take out bolt and lube contact points but that’s just me

[@Elchucknorris6414]

I would not put oil in the two holes where gas is to escape. I don’t think there’s any value in that other than may be attracting dirt and causing a failure somewhere down the road potentially. Those two holes are for gas to escape and I don’t believe lubing does anything positive on that.

[@FierceMouse]

It oils the rings

[@jawnlaughlin5]

Thats a badass looking AR, what color is that?

[@Decoda.]

Looks like OD Green

[@jawnlaughlin5]

​@@Decoda.True. I guese i meant to ask who's finish because i have an od green build and its completely different looking but i know screens can display shades differently.

[@CaptnHampton22]

So all the non friction parts and the vent holes. Also, that’s just oiling not cleaning. Your rifle hates you.

[@Smokeylj203]

Hi I have some gun oil and cleaning kit like one of those big expensive ones but do i need a different type of oil for an ar 15? Just got mine wanna make sure its ok to clean with

[@log7029]

Nah, use what you got.

[@Smokeylj203]

thank you@@log7029

What's the first thing he sprayed

[@zesty4011]

Some sort of liquid. Hope this helps :)

[@Truth24434]

This wasn’t “cleaned” let alone oiled properly lol

[@whatsamazing1531]

how to clean AK Go Rub some dirt on it… that AR looks like its never been fired, looks like you just rack the charging handle a few times a day..

[@SalamiDiscipline]

Lol😂

[@Whiskey.Tango.Actual]

Putting oil in the gas ring area. Lol

[@TrajectoryArms]

If the bolt is closed the oil goes up around the bolt ring and cam pin, not the tail where it would just be blown out on the first round.

[@Whiskey.Tango.Actual]

@@TrajectoryArms Today I learned. I retract my retarded comment.

[@linkbond08]

​@@TrajectoryArms would it make it all the way up to the cam pin??

[@robs93jdmaccord]

Imagine firing that thing at the range and he soaks the guy next to him once the oil shoots out the gas port

[@linkbond08]

@@robs93jdmaccord the oil is in front of the rings while the gas blows from the back so no it won't be blowing out of the side.

[@Thawhitestguyeva]

Let’s inject oil in the holes where the pressure will litterally blow it right back out….great…

[@xsixinfantryx]

Your just going to attract a crap load of dirt now...... now you're going to ACTUALLY have to clean it lol

[@brett9382]

Bro just take the bcg out and oil the rails, it takes an extra 10 seconds

[@Scooby4344]

Damm that shi dry asf 😂

[@johnsellers9623]

That’s how I would do it if I just took it off the shelf. But if I shot a few hundred rounds through it, that’s not how I would do it.

[@robertlaws1678]

No! Don't do that......😢😢😢

[@gabodeldocke93]

Lubricación no es limpieza

[@tharockefeller]

That’s oiling . Not cleaning .

[@MLG_Bigpoppa4987]

Im an AK guy so we dont need any of this at all.

[@bradsteeves5403]

That is not how to clean an AR

[@Anon62796]

If Trajectory Arms does it, so can I. I don’t have to feel bad about never cleaning my guns now lol

[@TrajectoryArms]

There's a time and place for deep cleaning your AR, but the traditional white glove cleaning after every time you shoot it actually wears the gun faster than just leaving it dirty. Nothing wrong with an occasional wipe down though.

[@jimmyrecard6021]

@@TrajectoryArms how would it wear the gun faster?

What red dot is this? :)

[@Zillozee]

Holosun

[@johnsellers9623]

Doesn’t look like any holo sun I have, well I only have two. But never saw that one before. Probably put it out of my mind because of the price difference. Just like the reason I don’t have eotec cause of the 6 or 7 hundred dollar difference. But I might break down one day.

[@darthdavid2275]

First half is fine but never put oil directly into those holes, gas comes out causing smoke and isn’t necessary

[@TrajectoryArms]

When the bolt is closed, the oil goes to the cam pin and support ring because it is forward of the gas rings. If you try to do it when the bolt is open, then yes all you are doing is dumping oil into the internal piston and its a waste.

[@IntermissionPrairieWolf]

This is, in fact, not how you clean an AR-15.

[@11binfantryfollowmeus.army95]

Right‼️‼️

[@huntercolbert6879]

Can your poverty build not handle a little carbon buildup?

[@dariodicarlo8745]

@@huntercolbert6879 what’s your point there 😂😂😂 why wouldn’t you wanna clean you’re gun and most of my poverty ponies like Anderson am15 or palmetto state pa15 fired for at least 200+ rounds before cleaning was even a thought but my question is why? Ar15s are so easy to take apart and clean I don’t see any logical excuse not to
