This SmythBusters episode tackles five common myths surrounding AR-15 rifle builds. The video debunks misconceptions about using reaction rods, the state of raw aluminum after lapping, gas block alignment, clamping the barrel for muzzle device installation, and the practice of using a torque wrench for barrel nut removal. Key takeaways include alternative methods to reaction rods, the protective benefits of grease on lapped aluminum, the forgiving nature of gas port hole sizing, the acceptability of clamping for muzzle device work, and that torque wrenches are not ruined by barrel nut removal. The video aims to educate viewers and set the record straight on these building practices.
