Field Stripping the AR15 - Picture intensive!

I shamelessly stole this from the good folks over at AR15.com. It's a post the beavo451 made and it's excellent from my point of view. I'm recreating here only because links have a way of disappearing and his work is just too good not to have it available. To make things right with them, here's the link.

The pink strap has got to go !

If only all rifles were that easy. No tools, and very few pieces to get lost, etc.

You should have seen all the neighborhood gals that stopped to look at it. (yes, the strap). Sort of like being the only guy in Home Ec. class. Laugh all you want.

Very cool, very simple , most I have seen seem to go into detail of things not needed, and miss the high points.
Thanks

Nice find Rick, Thanks.

In my ancient time we never seperated the upper and lower units and the buffer spring was never removed for field strip. We never took the extractor off in the field either.

We were so afraid of malfunctions that an SOP was issued that no unit in the field was to have more than 50% of their rifles broken down at any time. It seemed that every time we stopped moving everyone in the patrol would break their rifles in half and start wiping down the bolt lugs and locking recesses. We carried a piece of old tee shirt tied around our necks for this use.

We lived in terror of losing the firing pin retainer cotter pin in the field.

Now,that is an excellent "how to do". Someone without experience certainly could do an AR type breakdown with it. Many with a military background do it by "Muscle Memory". This will make it easier to explain it to others. Thank you

Cool. Excellent training pics. That's an interesting AR variant. While I've never lost a part of my M-16 in the field, I have lost a tiny spring on my Detonics once, turning it into a single shot wonder. It sprung right out into the twilight zone. You learn to be very careful after that. Never again.

Never having had an AR in my hands before it was pretty simple to tear down once I had seen this. I must admit that putting the bolt and charging handle back in is a bit of oddball until you figure out the proper sequence. I doubt I would ever remove the cam pin or the extractor pin in the field for any reason. Those things are just way too small to mess with unless you have a nice, clean, flat surface and plenty of light.

There is over five pieces. Too complicated.. I'll stick with my Rk...

I like the AR-15 as being a "simple" weapon to assemble. Kind of like Legos, it can be configured many different ways. Field stripping one has been ingrained into me by the AF. I have learned to assemble or repair one fairly well. I have also built a few from parts. I can't exactly say it is my favorite weapon, but I would not be uncomfortable if it was the only one I owned.

My AR is a lefty so I had to tip the monitor on it's side!! LOL. Good info Rick!

So, you can take a M-16 apart to clean it! Whooda thunk it?:no:

Rick, if you do it enough, it just sticks with you. One thing I never did in the field, but did right before returning to the armorer, was taking the trigger mechanism out and really cleaning in that small dust collector. However, I always did it with another rifle next to me, to ensure I put it back together correctly.

Ditto on not having more than 50% of rifles being cleaned at any given time. Our unit sop was no more than one third. The 2/3's not cleaning pull security. Also ditto on not separating the halves no need to for fiel Never go further than wiping down bolts at night. Buy extras of all the small pins and take to field with you. Use hat to keep all little parts in while cleaning and clean sitting on top of poncho. Also dry the bolt face, chamber, and barrel of oil so as not to ruin the round in chamber. If you haven't fired in several days put a fresh round in chamber. Put those rounds into target practice rotation. I also taped a section of cleaning rod with a shell extractor to the forearm. It is then easy to acess to unplug the barrel if you accidentally stick the muzzle in the mud or if you have a ruptured case stuck in the chamber.

There's something - I can't place my finger on it - but something about that pic reminds me of COWBOYSURVIVAL. :innocent:

Good info Rick.

It is no surprise the brethern at AR15.com let you use it since you obviously let them use your hong as a sling! :tt2:

"Girlifying" an AR15 with pink straps?? :scared:
The horror!

An AR15 is on my wish list, and I will probably purchase one in the next 18 months or so. This was a good walk through. Nice steal.

Great post. I remember the first time I tried to field strip an AR...

I like the piston version better but thats just me.

What is the lever thing above the trigger?

I went to the site but I don't understand the purpose of the pins or how they affect the operation of the trigger/hammer??

They really don't do any thing for most. They are tacticool.

https://youtu.be/IGGLit16keg

Not going to find them on my guns.

Occasionally the hammer or trigger will bind on the pin and cause it to rotate in the frame and wallow out the holes to an egg shape. On precision AR rifles that will affect the trigger pull and cycling speed of the hammer, as well as ruining a good frame.

The locking style pin locks cut out the possibility of rotation in the frame and any damage that could occur.

As a side effect, they are also made oversized if needed so that if you already wallowed out a egg shaped hole in the frame you can ream it round and tighten up the whole outfit and possibly restore some of the trigger pull crispness.

I might consider them if I was using a poly frame, or if I screwed up while drilling a poly frame build.

But like Batch says, on most guns they are for the taticool affect.

Looking at the price I see that you can almost buy a new stripped lower for the price of those pins.

I wish I could see the pics. I guess those are just in the wind. I have broke down my AR twice. Those little springs are not my favorite. They fly. I lost one... twice. The guy at Ruger was really nice. He laughed and sent me a bag of them... for free.

I'm waiting on a AR pistol kit. I really hope I can redeem myself.

Stupid photobucket. Go to the first post and click on the link. They are still in the link. You're welcome.

Thank you.
