This YouTube video from Brownells features Caleb providing a detailed tutorial on how to swap barrels on a BRN-4 upper receiver, which is an HK416 clone. The demonstration involves replacing a 14.5-inch nitride barrel with a 13.7-inch chrome-lined barrel. Caleb explains the rationale behind this upgrade and emphasizes the advantages of chrome lining for firearms.
This video analyzes a batch of Del-Ton carrier keys, revealing a concerning 66% failure rate during gauging. The analysis suggests that the failing keys lack chrome lining, while the passing ones exhibit it. The creator has contacted Del-Ton, who have agreed to take back the defective parts and issue refunds upon receipt, providing a return label.
This video provides a comprehensive guide to selecting the correct AR-15 barrel, highlighting how an improper choice can severely damage the rifle. It delves into various crucial aspects, including barrel length (from SBRs to 20-inch), profiles (pencil vs. heavy), materials (4150 CMV, 416R stainless), coatings (chrome lining, nitriding/Melonite/QPQ), rifling methods (button vs. cold hammer forged), twist rates (1:7, 1:8, 1:9) and their relation to bullet weights (55gr, 77gr), and the importance of the gas system and BCG for reliable cycling. The video categorizes AR-15 builds into general purpose, long-range precision (DMR), and CQB/SBR/pistol, explaining trade-offs in accuracy, weight, and handling. It also covers chamberings like 5.56 NATO, .223 Wylde, and .223 Remington, emphasizing the barrel as the most critical AR-15 component.
This YouTube video features a Q&A session with Nathaniel from Faxon, delving into the intricacies of barrel manufacturing. The discussion highlights the differences and pros/cons of nitride versus chrome lining treatments for firearm barrels, touching on their impact on accuracy and durability. The video also explores the history and evolution of barrel manufacturing processes, including cold hammer forging and cut rifling, as well as advancements like button rifling and progressive twist rifling. The discussion extends to the metallurgy of stainless steel barrels and the potential benefits of nitride treatment for other firearm components.
