you guys seriously make THE BEST instructional videos for firearms! thumbs up!
Thank you so much for watching & being a part of the Brownells Family!
I always figured the M1A would be a pain to disassemble/reassemble like the Mini-14 is. This looks easy breezy in comparison!
Outstanding set of videos. Thank You for the great camera work. I realize that too you some time, and I certainly appreciate it.
This guy is so helpful
Excellent series thank you
This dude right here knows his stuff. 🤙
My favorite
Thank you.
The good thing is that the most you'll probably ever have to take these guns down, is just pulling the barreled action out of the stock. And all there is too that is yanking the trigger guard down, and lifting the action up and forward. Other than that you probably never have to take anything else further apart.
great video!
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! :)
great easy to understand thanks
👌 video
Lol yours is worn in , mine is still new ,,, stiffer in some places. But thank you for the help. Great video thank you
Dam he makes the op rod removal look like nothing
Glad I'm not the only one
@@Spudmuffinz a M14?
@@HazmatUnit new m1a
@@Spudmuffinz yeah
Holy shit i thought i was the only one wtf
I've always thought that the safety should be on (pushed inside the trigger guard) before removing the trigger assembly. You show the safety off (outside the trigger guard). Does it make any difference?
I just did it with the safety off. Luckily nothing happened but if you were to accidentally squeeze the trigger assembly and the hammer fell, it might do some damage to you.
I cant find the bore guide on your site. Can you put links in the description to the products you used? Great video!

Can the Sodom 2 barrel be swapped out for the 20" barrel?
Can't quite get my op rod out of the receiver, any tips or tricks for that? Definitely did not pop out as easy as the video. Maybe I missed something but I've played this over and over again. Other than that, this definitely made cleaning a breeze. Thanks.
I had same problem, there is a video on TH-cam on how to remove a stuck op rod on m1a. Check it out. He uses a gunsmith hammer and a screwdriver. It works perfectly and does no damage, just make sure you have it lined up correctly before doing it.
@@Eric_the_miserable_midget saw that one I was just a little concerned about damage, but I mean if it works for you and others I'll give it a run. When I pick up a gunsmith hammer lol
Is there a way to get the plastic hand guard off the Rifle with out taking it apart ?
It is best to do a proper field strip to remove the handguard.
Idk why but my m1a trigger assembly won't come out of the stock while trying to take it apart. I bought it yesterday brand new at my local Rulal King and I'm planning on putting a scope mount on it for a scope but some reason I'm having trouble taking it apart. Is it because it's new
I just ordered mine and I'm worried about the scope mount getting in the way of disassembly. Please let me know if that becomes a problem
@@philgilz1821 the scope mount won't get in the way. I've seen people taking theirs apart and it having the scope mount still attached. What my problem is on mine is that everything seems tight on the stock and nothing want's to come out so I can take the stock off so I can get started putting a scope mount on it. To be able the put the mount on it you have to take the stock off and flip it upside down and knock out the pin that's in the stripper clip mount because the stripper clip mount has to come off. But some people's M1A don't come with the stripper clip mounts and don't have to deal with that but mine came with a stripper clip mount that's alright install to the gun
What's the deal with the painted fiberglass stocks?
You mean the handguards? Very early M14 stocks were wood, but the wood split under the heat of full auto fire, so the US switched to fiberglass, some closed and some vented. Iron-sight users sometimes complain about heat mirage affecting their sighting with the open top design (and dirt and grime can get in there too), so the most popular solution was the closed fiberglass top handguard. Springfield uses, yes, a plastic top, which I also found off-putting. I went with a black slotted/vented top on mine that I picked up as military surplus.
Why do you need the "buddy" when the rifle already has a clip on the side to hold the bolt back?
Because if u hit it with the cleaning rod after the bore brush looses resistance when entering the chamber u damage the bolt face or the cleaning rod with a steel cleaning rod and the bolt will release
I have a brand new socom16 and the trigger pack will not come out. Somebody help me please.
What is the stock on that rifle?
Just a follow-up Brownells. Any info on that stock?
It looks like the standard black composite stock that was on pre-2010 Scout Squad models. You can tell by the 4 divots on the butt rest.
What is the main difference between the military version?
the military version goes brrrrt and the civilian one goes pew pew pew
@@payfone Thanks for that!!
Hilarious!
Just the small detail of full auto. Which I'm sure is pretty much uncontrollable. 5.56 is even a beast full auto.
Camera work is not very good. At 3:13 to 3:27 he is looking off into space which is a bit creepy lol
Yeah, great video otherwise, but it is funny to go to the trouble of doing a two-camera shoot but only have the actor look into one camera.
Did I just see a cleaning patch being pushed from the muzzle to the mag well? WTF? Go on, continue to damage the rifling of your barrel for fucks sakes. Fucking civilians
Ur joking……right
Great video.
Dude looks like he just found out his daughter is marrying a Democrat.
