- Great Lakes AR-15 GLFA .223 WYLDE - Unboxing, Disassembly and Reassembly (Field Strip)
This is not only GLFA's best selling rifle, it's our best selling product. Not only is it damn good looking... it's extremely accurate, afforable, and made in Michigan! This thing is a tack driver!
In the fall of 2012, Matthew and Rebecca Baker began discussing the excitement in the gun industry and their desire to get involved. By April 2013, they opened Great Lakes Firearms and Ammunition, LLC, a retail store in Sparta, Michigan. Becky's brother Nick was brought onboard to help run the company, and by the end of the year their first year in business they began producing their own line of ammunition.
They quickly discovered that there was a need in the market for well built, affordable, American-made firearms and thus began their expansion into manufacturing. They started producing components to build complete AR uppers (handguards, barrels, muzzle brakes, and gas block), then eventually expanded into manufacturing GLFA lower receivers.

Great vid! Im about to pick mine up from the local dealer in a few days and this just made me 10 times more excited! 👏🏽👏🏽🤝
Yes, that's the video, because everyone knows how to disassemble the AR15 :-D Just a video for the collection (for me) :-)
Very helpful thank you very much for making this video!
I have one of these. Mainly bought it because I'm from Michigan, but its very high quality. Barrel is mil spec steel 1:8 twist extremely accurate. Very good purchase for the money
may i ask how much you paid please
I paid 650 I believe. Straight from their website
Im from Michigan as well. Of course i want to support local businesses, but Ive heard nothing but great things about its quality and accuracy. Put my order in today and can't wait to get it.
@@jaminabbey8640 yea I just dropped around 700 for mine can’t wait to pick that bitch up
@@user-yh9oy2vz5z found mine on sale for 589
Just picked up the tungsten grey with the S/S barrel. Can't wait to see it in person!!
nice video. very simple and clean.
thanks for this video. not many out there, just picked one up a couple of days ago. hope it’s a reliable tool
I hope so too. Not everyone has to have DD :-)
Own one in burnt bronze with a sig sauer romeo5 red dot and a bull barrel. Louder than most ARs I’ve shot in the same caliber but still a good gun
Great fire arm, I’ve got 1 my self
Just brought the green with stainless steel barrel a couple weeks ago, runs like a champ 👌🏾‼️, I think the dealer may have switched my Bc because mine came with a Ar Bolt carrier and not m16 🤦🏽♂️
I have completely built gun from them and its great. i have zero issues with the lower and upper, though I did swap out the BCG for a lantac milspec bcg. My gas key also was not staked properly, and it came loose, but i was going to buy a higher quality bcg anyways. Upgrading the bcg and the charging handle made this gun even smoother than what it was, and it was a noticeable difference when shooting.
the bcg is standard low-end stuff. (probably to cut costs, using cheaper parts in it, probably a sub $100 bcg). I've shot about 600 rounds out of mine so far, consuming 5.56 frontier brass 55 gr, .223 winchester match hbpt brass 69 gr, .223 tula steel 55gr, and .223 norma brass 55gr, and the gun ate all of it with pin point accuracy.
The only thing concerning is the actual quality of the barrel. On the GLFA website, they are selling .223 wylde 4150 nitride barrels for $109. (they also sell 416R - SS barrels that are extremely accurate but idk the price) and thats pretty damn cheap considering Aero barrels go for like minimum $175+.
When you buy any gun (or part) at this price from a smaller brand like GLFA, its going to have quality control issues. i picked mine up from a local store near in the Chicagoland area, and besides the BCG swap, i have had zero issues.
I'm glad that those videos people discuss and talk about weapons. This is exactly the goal of the videos. I don't have to teach you how to disassemble weapons. Most of you can do it without instructions. People's opinions are much more important than mine.
What is a bcg?
@@colteurcarter8371 you might be on the wrong page if you don't know what it is
@@colteurcarter8371 bolt carrier group
My dumbass can’t even put it back with the vid 🤣
Got one of these in grey over the summer. Looks really cool but I haven’t shot it once without having problems. It came with the fcg installed incorrectly which caused light primer strikes. But even after I fixed that it still turns into a bolt action after about 2 mags.
I got a grey one about a year ago and I haven’t had a single malfunction yet, granted I’ve only put about 500 rounds of .223 through it. Do you have enough lube on the bcg?
Any idea if the buffer tubes on these are Mil-spec or commercial?
How did you change your trigger guard, having trouble geting the rear pin out
Need more great lakes firearm and Ammunition 350legend shooting videos - please 💪🏽
Awesome I’m getting ready to order mine and very important to support local
I like mine for the most part however my main use for it is thermal hog eradication, that said does anyone have any suggestions on mods to make the gun lighter?
I have the same rifle bought not too long ago. Ran over 100 rounds of 5.56 through her a couple of weeks ago and she shot flawlessly and smooth.
Hi, Can you help me please, I bought this rifle but I am confused with the type of bullets that I should use for that rifle? Thank you .
@@anibalvalle9026 if its .223 wylde you can shoot .223 and 5.56.
@@anibalvalle9026 that's the point of this rifle. There isn't any ammo actually called 223 Wylde. It can shoot 223 Remington and 556 Nato without the risk of premature damage.
@@anibalvalle9026 223 Wylde is a chamber not ammo. It can shoot either 223 or 556
Not me. I haven’t shot mine once without problems
Very happy with mine
What is the button/knob on the right side of the pistol
My friend and I just bet at the beginning of this video whether or not you check/ depress the buffer.....someone owes me a 20😆😊💯✌🏼👊🏻 Great Video!
:-D
What scope do you recommend for this? And other accessories to make it cooler? My husband got this gun for his birthday and I’m trying to surprise him with some add ons. I have no clue who to ask or what to google. Thank you!
HannerNanner, Watch this vid he speaks about his scope th-cam.com/video/FQAkOoF5IZE/w-d-xo.html
How does this compare to the Rugar AR556? I'm debating between these two but obviously cannot hold or shoot a GLFA before buying one.
Have you made your decision yet I am torn between the two guns also I have held one though and they're very similar and very high quality feeling
What sights are everyone using on the rifle. I am thinking about getting one and need sights.
I just bought the OD green with black nitrate barrel and i also have no clue what optic to put on it i dont want to break the bank its going to be a fun shooter and for hogs anyone have any ideas?
I know this is a year old, but I'm running a Primary Arms 3X prism on mine and 45* Sightmark red dot back up. Accurate out to about 200 meters.
Waiting on mine. Do you recomend this rifle and the quality?
I can't say that yet. I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Build quality looks good.
@@Guntuber cool... I picked up some handguns and the ATI this week. Test time this weekend. I'll let you know what I think aswell
@@Guntuber any updates on how you feel about this rifle 7 months later?

.223 rem. / 5,56×45mm NATO
Dude if you bought a gun and don’t know what ammo to use then you probably should get some more practice or do a lot more research….if the Barrel says .223 Wylde you can shoot 5.56x45 and .223 Remington … if the barrel says .223 Remington or just .223 you can only shoot .223 rem… if the barrel says 5.56x45 you can shoot both 223 and 5.56 x45
This or a Radical Firearms?
Got this same rifle, shot around 400 rounds with no hiccups.. I purchased it for $529, brand new, would recommend to anyone wanting to buy an AR platform rifle. Thinking about buying a 7.62x39 upper from Bear Creek Armory…. Anyone have info on that?
You better buy a weapon that is directly chambered for 7.62x39. The AR platform is built on .223 and anything else is just a mutation and will never work like the weapons that are built on it from scratch
Did I see a piston? Sold.
Can you mount accessories on the side of this specific barrel?
Mlok so yes.
Just got one. Tungsten blue with stainless barrel. $573-575 on lockedloaded.com, just search GLFA. Charcoal gray, tungsten blue, OD green, burnt bronze and white in stock with either stainless or nitride barrel options.
Price is now $699
Lol, this rifle is a steal for the money.....
Interesting opinion, will you write why?
Friend picked one up and he’s already calling me that it doesn’t cycle. Anyone have same problems , checking before I get started
I’ve heard the bcg or the firing pin could be the problem I just ordered mine so I’ll see if I have any problems out of it.
Found the blue one for 900, is that too much for one of these? All the sites say out of order.
I paid 700 for mine in tungsten color,it’s sweet keep searching.
paid 589 for mine
@@darkgray1 I have the blue one got it for 650 at a gun show
@@hunchofg9810 Nice, I’ve taken mine to the range and it ran like a dream (223)
@@darkgray1 Had a few hiccups when I first got mine it came with a Amend 2 jammed every time till I bought some Pmags. Then about 600-700rds through it wouldn’t eject casings it was dirty as hell though I would half ass clean it
I'm on my second one keeps jamming I wouldn't recommend
headquarters are 30 minutes from my house.
15 mins for me. Just ordered one. If I have problems it will be easy to take in.
anyone have the AR 10 gl no reviews anywhere is it better the pa10 by palmetto
Just bought .308 from them yet to shoot it hope all good🙏🏼
I don't even know what to say ! I got one to separate the upper n lower is a battle you have to fight to take apart and to assemble. I am goin
g to the range tomorrow n will see . I am not impressed with the quality of the product it doesn't fit properly. not even close not only the upper n lower don't fit properly the bolt n bolt carrier don't fit properly either.
Simple act to dismantle bolt n bolt carrier not with this one. Not happy at all according to denohlega pawn and gold in ga. i have to press the trigger to assemble the lower and upper or fire 1000 plus rounds to break in the rifle. I have never heard such crap .if anyone care please 🙏 help its really crap I am not a complainer but this is not even close to being right.
