I *can* make these at home, but from how much I've learned over the years from your videos, I feel like I owe you a few bones! Thanks for all you do, Chad!!
Chad I’m older and retired and I’ve learned more about AR -15 rifles in the last year. I will be getting some of your inspection tools soon. Thanks I appreciate you
Nice tip. I do have my Jerry Miculek 5.56 comp clocked to the 1 o'clock position. Big difference when shooting. Does make a difference. Especially the RIA medium size comp i got on my VR80 shotgun.
Great tip! I have often used the flats of a muzzle device to eyeball alignment with the side of a rail, but it never occured to me to accentuate the angles with a rod. Then again, if it's so close that I can't see the difference, then 1/2 degree of port timing is probably not going to throw off my shooting perceptibly, so I just call it good enough. However, I can see how a person of more meticulous predilections might find the slightest misalignment irksome.
This is a great tip! On some muzzle devices for AR-10 in .308, for example, you may actually want them canted to counteract the twist during recoil, if the muzzle device is designed to do so.
I thought one should use a barrel vise block instead of an upper receiver rod for torquing/loosening muzzle devices to prevent damage to the barrel extension index pin?
I understand no-one uses them anymore except me, but what about the 3 prong XM16E1 or M16A1 flash hiders? I also use some Sig 3 prongs on suppressed M-4's
Machine (or even 3D print) a fixture that fits the specific muzzle device you are using. Going off of memory, isn't the only substantial difference between the A1 and A2 flash hider is that the A2 has a closed bottom section?
In my eyes, it's a 5.56, and I'm never shooting past 500. I'm building the rifles for me. If I can't tell if it's off a little bit between the top port of a birdcage and the gasblock, I call it good. Even maybe a tiny bit canted, I don't care. I want it to hide flash. Does it hide flash? Good!
The thing about that is it involves a fair amount of work-reaming out the pin holes and such-which while not overly burdensome if you have the tools and skills, it will often fall into one of two categories: Either it's a cheap barrel, in which case it's not worth the labor, or it's an expensive barrel, in which case it should have been right to begin with and you ought to RMA it.
Does anyone make AR master tool with alignment bubbles mounted in them, or wouldn't it be better to buy a separate bubble alignment tool and mount it to the tool?

Ma! He did it again!
They are dropping like rain!

Thanks for all you do, Chad!!
I imagine there are thousands of tools in this platform running better thanks to these vids 👍
That's my goal
Keep them coming

Chad had a LOT of coffee today lol. Thanks for the free education!!

Wow, we'd missed seeing your content for a while but you're really banging out some videos now. (No pun intended!) This is awesome.
Great idea. I typically use my small magnetic levels but I'm try this out next time
Great videos..Keep them coming, SOTARACHA!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good way to check the front sight/pic rail as well.
Learn something new each and every day ... thank you

Loving these short tech tips
Great stuff!
Thank you for sharing, these short format videos are great!

Nice thanks for the tip I’m ocd I’ll run a line and get perfectly straight 👍🏻saweeet
I kinda already do this with a magnetic bubble level to time muzzle devices. I guess this works too if you don't have a level.
Great tip!
I thought one should use a barrel vise block instead of an upper receiver rod for torquing/loosening muzzle devices to prevent damage to the barrel extension index pin?
Ha! Used to time FAL barrels with rods as well.
Now some people will have more excuses why they can't shoot straight. They're muzzle device wasn't timed properly. lol

This is genius!
Love the work around. AI won’t figure out you are promoting anything… or will it?
Or just turn the muzzle device till the cent port is top and center
With a birdcage, this is the answer. Enough of the bottom is closed for it to not matter (much? at all?).

a sick video would be aligning a front sight that is canted
The thing about that is it involves a fair amount of work-reaming out the pin holes and such-which while not overly burdensome if you have the tools and skills, it will often fall into one of two categories: Either it's a cheap barrel, in which case it's not worth the labor, or it's an expensive barrel, in which case it should have been right to begin with and you ought to RMA it.
@@doktorfaustus oh lol, i had no idea
Cool..ill remember this...
Can these be used to check suppressor alignment? Because the price of the geissle one is just robbery
👍👍👍
Low tech is just as good as high tech sometimes
Does anyone make AR master tool with alignment bubbles mounted in them, or wouldn't it be better to buy a separate bubble alignment tool and mount it to the tool?
When mine don't time right I put the crush washer on the surface grinder and take a few thou off until it's perfect
Mark me down for a member of the 'close enough' tribe.
Clever
Aint nobody got time for dat
Great tip!
