HAHA i have a brand new vice block......but i have never done more then put a few lowers together! But i think i can handle putting together a few uppers and my one AR10 i plan to build as i had ot promise my wife i would only build one in order to purchase the lower! LOL i had all the other parts. Waiting on my NIC's to come threw some time the beginning of this week coming up? Use to take an hour or two not take almost a week !!! :>(
I have these for both AR15 and the AR10, I have yet to find a receiver face that was actually true after anodizing. No matter the brand Aero and Up through LaRue and Bravo Co. All have been off one side or the other. The only thing I do different is I'm anal about any grit getting down in receiver I never want the inside scratched up.
Sounding so very professional with describing every single micro step of your procedure there, but there is no “ paint” on that upper. What you are scraping off ( for whatever reason) with your “ lapping”is the nitride finish.
This isn’t nitride, this is anodizing. One is a chemical process, one is a coating. In that context it’s closer to a paint than nitride, but either way this process has a few benefits if reassembled properly.
It’s a process that ensures the surface of the upper is “true” where the barrel shoulder mates up with the upper. Sometimes the coating could be thicker in one are compared to another and on the face of the upper this could effect accuracy. Some people swear by it. Some think it’s a waste. Ultimately it’s up to the owner of the gun how they want it. 🍻
Yeah I can’t see much harm in lightly lapping an upper if it makes someone feel better, but if an upper *needs* to be lapped in order to function or seat the barrel extension straight, I’d call that a defective upper and get a refund on it.
I cant believe you lapped the anodizing from the metal....... Anodizing provides a corrosion resistance and most of all makes the aluminum surface harder and more wear resistant..... If anything lap before anodizing.. Now it is soft aluminum against hardened steel..... Shaking head.... again and again....
@@douglass56also aluminum does not corrode as fas as like steel. With barrel nut torqued properly there shouldnt b any movement and very little wear. Even if there is wear I would prefer a better seated barrel that is potentially more accurate and eventuall replace a 100 dillar reciever after decades.
I’ve had more than one receiver not 100% squared off. Lapping helps align the barrel thus improving performance. Not saying it’s a dramatic improvement but proper alignment helps
I never saw such a bright, clean and new looking vise.

I think in true “PROOF” form. Let’s see the difference between one that is lapped and one that is not as in performance and accuracy.

Lol what exactly is wearing there? It's not a moving part. I think you misunderstand how an AR-15 works...😂
Most end consumers buy upper after anodizing. When assembled the area is heavily covered in lubricant/anti seize. Minimal worry of corrosion

Anodizing does not provide further strength, just corrosion protection which isn’t really a concern here given proper greasing on installation.
You have to admit, he sounded very “ professional” in ruining that upper😂😂😂
What a waste of time and anodizing.
Total waste of time and u will not be a better shot because of it.
So stupid.. it's a damn AR
And this improves the performance…
@@atox4957 nope.. it doesn't

@@TheSixpkAmerican, yeah. I’d rather have mine optimized regardless
