This video debunks the myth that new firearm barrels do not require cleaning. Brownells Gun Techs Steve and Caleb use a borescope to demonstrate that factory-new barrels, particularly AR-15s, often contain grease in the bore and chamber. This grease can cause extraction failures, pressure issues leading to malfunctions, and in extreme cases, a catastrophic weapon failure or 'KA-BOOM.' The experts advise a simple cleaning with solvent to remove this protective shipping grease before firing the first round, regardless of whether the barrel is a replacement or part of a new firearm.
This video addresses a common AR-15 malfunction: the bolt failing to close (go into battery). Brownells Gun Techs Caleb Savant and Steve Ostrem identify five primary causes. These include an overloaded magazine, excessive grease in the chamber (especially on new firearms), a worn-out buffer spring in older rifles, improper manipulation of the charging handle, and issues with reloaded ammunition due to improperly resized cases. The video offers practical solutions for each scenario, emphasizing simple fixes like cleaning, proper magazine loading, and charging handle technique.
