It's changed quite a bit. It runs great. I used it a lot before 7N6 dried up. Unfortunately, I don't shoot my AK's all that much these days.

Is it one of the tapered pins that can only be removed opposite of what's in the video?

@@TheBrackishCoast I tried both ways and no movement whatsoever

Out of curiosity, is your rifle well worn or built from a parts kit?

@@TheBrackishCoast its well worn. Its a CETME technically but has a ton of HK parts too. This particularly is CETME

No, it should not. The little nub at the end of the charging handle slot should sit in a recess in the handle. Kinda locks it in place when folded.

@@TheBrackishCoast is there a piece that goes in between the cocking handle Mount and the carrier? I can't find it in the diagram anywhere but I recall there was a piece . it was cracked and I lost.

@@danquartullo8677 I was referring to the nub permanently affixed to the cocking tube. The spring tension on the handle causes the handle to engage the nub and stay in place. The cocking lever assembly consists of the piece inside the cocking tube, spring, pin and handle. Is your spring missing from the lever assembly? That could cause this issue.

It's self cleaning. If you need to disassemble it.... Remove/separate handguard. Remove BCG. Hold piston forward with one hand, then grab the knurled section of the small rod in the middle. Pull rearward on the rod until it clears the piston cup, then pivot the rod out. Then the piston and op-rod(?) can be removed. The whole process only takes a few seconds.

@@TheBrackishCoast thank you for the reply! Spent a min yesterday trying to get it lgs has a used m6a2 I’m new to piston guns and like taking them apart and cleaning them whole process was easy putting it back though that sucker was a little harder

Yep. Not a fan either. It was ok'ish 10yrs ago. Trash now.

You have a link to this? And will it be compatible with a CETME C as well?

The rifle is now in storage and not on-hand. So I can't say with absolute certainty, but from what I remember, it was a standard upper receiver.

@@TheBrackishCoast I appreciate it.

There's a MOLLE adapter for the Flektarn double pouches. Edit: It's actually an ALICE adapter but MALICE clips will work to attach them to the MOLLE webbing.

I still have it, though it's being stored elsewhere. I put over 10k rds through it. Probably got close to 15k. Unsuppressed, it's the cleanest AR I've ever fired. It stayed remarkably clean internally. Suppressed, it was almost as dirty as any other AR. I replaced the buffer spring and piston return spring(like $5-10 or so each) every 4 thousand rounds. Only had 4 malfunctions. Two were directly attributable to ammo. Primers popped out of reloads and bound up the FCG. The other two were back to back on the second day of a 1,500 round carbine class, shooting suppressed. No cleaning. Went another 200rds to the end of the class without issue and no cleaning. Overall it was a fantastic rifle. My only real gripes are the barrel weight and the complete lack of a decent modern handguard for this older model with a standard upper receiver(the handguard in this video is not recommended). The new production uppers have a proprietary receiver with an extension that a proprietary handguard mounts to. IDK what model you are looking at.

It's a Choate Machine & Tool, Mark 5 stock. It came stock on a Mossberg 500 I had purchased many years ago. I just swapped it to the 590A1 when I got it. www.riflestock.com/store/product/mossberg-500-590-600-835-and-maverick-88-mark-5-pistol-grip-stock/

Some of the pins are tapered and only come out one way. Is this the case with your rifle? Maybe it's a one way operation.

@@TheBrackishCoast It seems like it was, I was installing a new spring as my dad messed the last one and destroyed it. Managed to get it in after 3 hours of cussing and screaming. If the pin came out it would've been a million times easier

Clear the weapon. Remove the upper. Remove the BCG. Access the gas system by whatever means your particular rifle has.... Hold the piston cup forward while pulling the center rod rearward. It will separate from the piston and can be angled away and removed. Then remove the piston cup. Then the op-rod and return spring can be removed. Assemble in reverse order. Once you access the gas system, all that comes out in a few seconds.

@@TheBrackishCoast *Thanks!* *(EZ, like changing a toilet paper roll, lol)*

It will fit the older models like this with the standard upper and barrel nut. It will not fit the new ones with the proprietary uppers.

@@TheBrackishCoast Thank you very much! I’m pretty sure mine is 6-7 years old. Will that work?

@@edikku6461 Not sure. It all depends on the upper receiver. Is it the standard style GI/MilSpec or does it have the bell/direct mount for the LWRC handguard on the front.

@@TheBrackishCoast Id have to check.. Let me see

The LWRC BCG in this video was the piston BCG from an old M6A2. The LWRC bolt in this video is no longer offered in 5.56(only 6.8 SPC) due to a lawsuit from the companies previous owner. The LWRC DI has a standard style bolt. The carrier has unique features that make it nicer than the average carrier. The entire LWRC DI bolt and BCG will interchange with a GI style BCG. The bolt from the old M6A2, while different in design as this video points out, is still interchangeable as well. The M6A2 carrier is not, as it is proprietary to the piston system. That said, if you already had a premium BCG like the DD, I don't think your gonna get much more from the LWRC DI BCG other than coatings and a improved gas key setup. Probably not worth the money. If you were buying an entire rifle (in DI), the LWRC DI in my opinion, though equal in terms of quality, is a better value. A DDM4 V7 and LWRC DI for the most part, have many of the same features. Flared magwells, pinned gas blocks, CHF barrels, H buffers, etc. The LWRC DI adds full ambi controls, better furniture(IMO), improve bolt carrier design and coatings and a much better(though proprietary) handguard to upper interface. It does this for $500 less than the DD. You aren't gonna go wrong with either in the end.

@@TheBrackishCoast thanks for the reply !

No. On both a DI and Piston AR, the op-rod/gas tube(gas pressure inside BCG) move the bolt carrier rearward. The rearward motion of the carrier moves the cam pin down the cam path and rotates the bolt to unlock. Same basic function in most modern rifles. Gas pressure, carrier moves, cam path rotates bolt, bolt unlocks.
