These are by far the most informative and enjoyable firearm related videos on TH-cam

Exactly what I was looking for. A digital training series manual.
The instructor reminds me of my old boss from Michigan. A crotchety wise type of gent. Well spoken and to the point.

[@brownells]

Awesome! Congratulations!!

[@mmier6343]

Fantastic video series for someone as myself that just purchased his very own Springfield M1A Scout Squad. Thank You!!!

[@jerrylast4461]

I got my socom 16 a few months ago and finally got out to the range to shoot it. Love it. Your videos were a great help in taking it down, cleaning it, and reassembly. Once you've done it, the next time will be a snap. Thanks again

[@bobbymiranda366]

Seen your videos and by watching them I am comfortable breaking down any gun following your instruction that you teach you are a wonderful person for this job and I hope God blesses you for your work

[@aaronk6616]

Thank you for this. I'm new to the M1A and this has helped a lot. I'll make my way over to your website and check out that chamber brush for sure.

[@brownells]

Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@jrussell4711]

Thanks for the fantastic set of videos. I watched him every time I do a cleaning job on my beloved M1A1.

[@jackdeyoung2576]

These video's are outstanding! I play them on my laptop in the garage every time I clean. I order all my supplies through you guys because of these videos.

[@hitman_zulu]

Just purchased an m1a this is great!

[@2late2stop]

That was a great series. If it makes a difference I'm going to load up on all these Brownells' items because of them.

[@brownells]

We appreciate that so much @2late2stop! Thank you!

[@harrycallahan4773]

One always refreshes or learns something new. Thanks for the video series.

[@jakeorama]

You guys do the best job on these videos

[@brownells]

Thanks so much! We certainly do our best!

[@TexasDog3]

Thank you very much for these kinds of instructional videos. They are very helpful and I appreciate them very much.

[@skitterman5]

Always good stuff!

[@jamesdelong6401]

Thank you for this video. I will save it and the other 3 for when I buy my M1A.

[@rocky4976]

Great job. Really professional. Thanks...

[@alanhigh8125]

Great video series. I run my M1As a bit "wetter" than what is shown here. It's just a personal preference.

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

Brownells, Inc. - thanks for a great series of videos; they are very helpful. Concerning care and cleaning of the barrel, how often do you recommend additional steps for removing built-up copper fouling and deposition in the lands-and-grooves of the barrel, as opposed to simply cleaning to remove fouling from carbon, soot, and other combustion by-products? If a specific procedure is recommended, please outline the steps. Lastly, what product (s) do you recommend for removal of copper? I have the solution Hoppes makes for this purpose; do I need any others? Thanks again....

[@trav1971]

Good videos

[@donaldduck4867]

Thank you.

[@kellymcguire2055]

GREAT video!! Thanks

[@brownells]

Thank you so much for watching and being a part of the Brownells Family!

[@kreedo11]

@@brownells I came across to your video today and I enjoyed it very much it was very helpful. I am a new owner of M1A Scout Squad and I have come across couple of videos about glass bedding the M1A, is this necessary to all M1A's? how do I know if my rifle needs to be glass bedded?

[@jerrytalon7676]

awesome thanks :)

[@jessehall8835]

I wonder how hard this is with a scope mount and scope on or will I have to take it all off I also have the arcangle precision stock so it's a really tight fit

[@wjr3388]

Great videos. As long as the gun is kept for the most part clean, do you think lubrication is required after firing the gun a few times a year or would once a year work?

[@brownells]

The best schedule is to grease and oil after every time you bring the gun back from shooting. :)

[@MatthewBaileyBeAfraid]

It is rather interesting that the “… and M14” is included with this. Anyone who has an M14 M14 is likely to have a rather large investment in their knowledge of respective firearms they own.
But that they are covering the bases by adding “Oh! And in case you own an M14, but don’t know how it works….”

[@ArmonMitchell]

Uuuuuh can you do a quick thumb rules on the difference in maintenance parkerized v stainless.

[@brownells]

Thank you for the suggestion. We certainly can look into doing so!

[@kennycarr3366]

Reassemble m1a

[@pauld9570]

Now i know why the government went to the m16. Taking that thing apart and reassembling damn near sent me over the edgs!!!

[@littleteethkeith]

I agree. I can clean 20 AR15's in the amount of time it takes me to get the operating rod off my M1A. However that is one bad mother to shoot. I was hitting milk jugs at 230 yards with open sights right out of the box. I love my M1A.

Whoever gave the thumbs down must be some liberal snowflakes
