Navy SEAL Pro Tips: AR-15 Cleaning and Maintenance, Part 2

[@mikebeddingfield2144]

A 12 gage barrel brush works great to clean the upper receiver

[@TridentConcepts]

It certainly does...

[@MrEKG123]

So the patch probably looked fairly clean because after that many rounds, the fouling just gets turned into baked on carbon. Super hard to get out, you need one of the chemical cleaners formulated to lift it off and probably would take application and removal over several days.

my left ear enjoyed this

[@tonyc223]

Chrome lined bores do not get that dirty. The chamber and locking lugs and back do. I clean the chamber every time I shoot.

[@irafowlerjr.7492]

Very helpful, thanks

[@Movingtheworldtogetherasone]

every time I clean my gun, from the method which you use in this video my round grouping at the range on paper is always off and I have to re-adjust My optic sites almost every time it seems..I follow your instructions and procedures to the tee exactly as shown in your video I clean it exactly like you do every time I almost always have to readjust my optics … mybe I should put it. In an standard gun holder stand before hand so while cleaning I’m not putting pressure on my optics and barrel, when banging it to get any debris out while banging my rifle unevenly on my table top my optics and barrel are hitting the table on a stand it would protect those parts to keep everything aligned…and ready to go I aways clean my gun at the range before I go and take one five round grouping to insure if necessary I’m sure my rifle is in ready status before I put it away if needed in an emergency situation..she’s ready to go .. and every time I buy a new gun, i lube it with Lucas Oil High Mileage Oil Stabilizer 32 oz. car piston, oil then I clean it right after and I never get part wearing ,look and shoot’s like a brand new gun but broken in.. Lucas is a great product for cars and guns because it puts No wearing on moving parts and never breaks down. I don’t know why more people don’t use it 😮 it’s cheap and lasts forever.. they do sell a gun product as well but it’s like a grease…

[@TridentConcepts]

So, just to be clear this method of oiling is recommended to our students during a high intensity training course where there will be several hundred rounds fired. For routine cleaning, we would recommend a different method as an FYI.

[@coreyb.3127]

I used to believe that you should clean a gun every time its shot, or fairly frequently. It's just not true.

[@TridentConcepts]

Far from it and we punished rifles back in the day. While developing our rifle with LWRC we torture tested our prototype rifle in excess of 35k rounds with serious cleaning. When they requested we send it back at about 15k they had to wipe some of the junk off to inspect, but they gave it back as is and we pretty much stopped counting after 35k. Still have that upper😉

[@Vipersshorts]

Served in the Army arms rm aloud us to use shaving cream to clean

[@mmgross144]

Multiple camera angles and better lighting would do wonders for this instructional video, but thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

[@TridentConcepts]

Thanks, the video was produced over 10 years ago so a lot has changed since then.

[@askaryambus]

Things have change a lot since this video came out. Nowadays you can just put your rifles in the dishwasher, top rack only tho.

[@TridentConcepts]

Haha, that might be true...but still🤣

[@bigprestony9836]

Piston guns do have a cleaning advantage over di guns .

[@christuttle3980]

Brake cleaner does wonders

[@davidjirvin5410]

I wish you would have added a couple arrows to pinpoint the spots because your camera just gave a general area it would have been nice with a couple arrows just saying😊

[@TridentConcepts]

Thanks, the video was recorded over 10 years ago, but there is an updated video on our channel as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ2Zc5KGjtKlgrssi=mF8du4weppdvoUIR

Hi Jeff: What's your opinion on Frog Lube? (assuming you have one)

[@JimmyCzerwinski-p4g]

Its froggy

[@markjackson7717]

Banging your upper a lot… you just like to re-zero your rifle after you get done cleaning it 😂😂😂

[@TridentConcepts]

Pretty sure it can take it 😉

[@scottkelly7051]

Yep. If that amount of banging knocks your optic off zero, you need a better optic.

[@NortheastSurvival911]

I'm dying to know when the last time was that weapon was cleaned prior to this. Holy shit that's a lot of buildup. 🇺🇸

[@TridentConcepts]

It was a lot😁

[@NortheastSurvival911]

@@TridentConcepts I see that. I am OCD when it comes to gun cleaning. If I fire a gun once or a thousand times it gets clean the same. I actually picked up a ar12 today.. and I cleaned it thoroughly. I can't help it. 🤷🇺🇸

[@TridentConcepts]

@@NortheastSurvival911 No need to worry, everyone has their own system.

[@NortheastSurvival911]

@@TridentConcepts oh I know. I have this OCD method. I can't help it. Then there's my buddy who's the opposite of me he never cleans anything. Ever. My method disturbs him and his disturb is me but whatever. That's his stuff I mean treat it however you want to treat it just as long as you're safe.

[@TridentConcepts]

@@NortheastSurvival911 Over the years I've seen some good and bad methods. If you have a system in place and are consistent then for the most part you are good to go.

I think you'll find in real life, people who are high level experts tend to be less anal about things that less skilled/ experienced people are, cheers!

People who know what truly matters know what truly matters. This man actually uses his guns and doesn't just post pictures of them on Instagram and reddit. ffs guys

Shooter lube work great to try that
