This video from Brownells Gun Techs debunks the myth that you cannot "over-clean" a gun. While cleaning won't wear out a firearm, disassembling it too often for cleaning can shorten its service life due to wear on pins and screws. For modern polymer pistols, hosing them down with cleaner is sufficient. Older firearms like the Colt 1911, M1 Garand, and AR-15 are designed for regular disassembly, but care should be taken not to lose small parts. The video also touches on barrel cleaning for precision shooting and the clean-burning nature of modern .22 LR ammo.
This video showcases the transformation of a standard Ruger Blackhawk revolver into a custom firearm. Brownells Gun Techs Steve and Caleb, along with Bobby Tyler of Tyler Gun Works, detail the process, including a Bisley grip frame, custom grip panels, barrel shortening, partial engraving, color case finishing, and upgraded sights. The internal action is meticulously smoothed for a 3.5 lb. trigger pull and tight lockup. The video addresses whether the custom work stayed within the initially quoted price, debunking the myth that custom guns are unaffordable.
This "Smythbusters" video from Brownells debunks the myth that AR-15 rear sights from different manufacturers are not interchangeable. Gunsmiths Steve Ostrem and Caleb Savant explain that AR-15 rear sights are manufactured to a standard height, ensuring compatibility. They clarify that if a current rear sight works with a front sight, a replacement will also work. The video highlights the AR-15's versatility through easy parts interchangeability but cautions that this applies to current production models, with variations existing in older or retro reproductions.
