This video provides a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to properly install a Quick Detach (QD) muzzle device on a firearm. It covers crucial pre-installation procedures like cleaning and inspecting threads, selecting the correct shims for timing, and the importance of using thread locker such as Rocksett. The tutorial emphasizes correct torque specifications to avoid overtightening, which can negatively impact accuracy. Additionally, it briefly touches upon alternative shimming methods like Accu-washers and different types of muzzle devices, suggesting further related content for deeper dives into these topics. The video aims to educate viewers on best practices for muzzle device installation to ensure functionality and firearm performance.
This video provides an overview of the T.REX Criterion Barrel Kit, highlighting the value and performance of Criterion barrels. It details their construction from 4150 CrMoV, chrome-lining for durability and corrosion resistance, and advanced finishing processes that overcome the stigma of reduced accuracy. The video specifically discusses the CORE profile's .625 gas block journal and constant taper, emphasizing its benefits for handling and balance, especially with front-end attachments. It also mentions included assembly components like Aeroshell 64, Loctite 620, and Flexbar Rocksett, suitable for various upper receiver builds.
This video provides practical guidance on the appropriate times and situations to use Rocksett and HotLock, two common thread-locking compounds, specifically in the context of AR-platform firearms. The content aims to educate viewers on the effective application of these materials to ensure secure component attachment and proper maintenance of their AR rifles.
This video provides a crucial tip for AR-15 owners regarding the use of Loctite (thread-locker). Brownells Gun Techs Caleb and Steve explain that Loctite should generally be avoided on AR-15s where steel parts thread into aluminum, as it can strip the softer aluminum threads. Specific components to avoid Loctite on include the castle nut/buffer tube connection and pistol grip screws. While some aftermarket grips might include alternative thread-locking material, Loctite is not recommended. For barrel nuts, proper torque is emphasized over thread-locker. Muzzle devices get too hot for Loctite to be effective, with Rocksett being a suggested alternative for high-temperature applications. The video concludes that while Loctite is a useful product, its application on an AR-15 is often inadvisable.
