[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 5643732, member: 18110"] First off, I want to acknowledge that I'm aware of Google, and the likely millions of videos online. I trust you guys more than some random dumbass mall ninja that makes videos.(yes, I know there are also good ones). Just asking for some help. Although I've owned a couple ARs over the years, I never got "into" them. Usually the ownership was the result of a trade, and was very brief. Consider me a newbie... Can someone recommend a good video for how to disassemble and clean/oil an AR? Optics...this AR will serve double duty... hunting/home defense. I mounted a low powered scope on it in high rings, and still had to use a set of risers to get it high enough for proper eye alignment. The AR is a flat top. Honestly...it looks kinda stupid. Any other suggestions on how to mount a scope? Next, how do you mount a single point sling? Is there something else to put on the rifle first? Where does it mount? This is a 556 chambered rifle. My plan is to shoot factory ammo... probably 223. I reload 223 for a bolt rifle, but generally use slower powders than what's typically used for an AR. My understanding is that the slower powders are still too hot when the "flame" gets to the gas block. Am I understanding this correctly? Also, I don't crimp....isn't that necessary for a semi auto? I'm sure I will have more questions as I work through this, but these are enough for now. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
