Field-Stripping and Cleaning AR Platform Rifles. Let’s face the facts: Black Rifles are dirty. AR-platform rifles have a gas system that blows powder and carbon residues back into the bolt carrier group and action. ARs should be cleaned frequently and quickly. You should also disassemble the bolt carrier to reach any recesses or parts that have accumulated greasy lube or hard carbon. This video will show you how to field-strip AR-platform rifles. This video is worth watching if you have an AR. This video has been viewed more than 2.7 million times on Shooting USA’s YouTube Channel. MOA Definition — Jim Scoutten explains Minute of Angle (MOA). This is the most common measurement for group size and therefore rifle accuracy. Many people are unable to give a precise definition of the term “half-MOA” or 1 MOA. MOA is actually an angular measurement which equates to one-sixtieth degree of Arc. John Scoutten, the host, explains MOA in this video. He then shows how MOA can translate to accuracy on target. He then shows how a Les Baer Custom rifle can achieve accuracy of one-half MOA. The rifles come with a three-shot guarantee and a half-MOA guarantee. How to Adjust for Parallax. Most precision rifle scopes have a parallax adjustment knob located on the left side. What is “Parallax”? And why is it important to adjust optics to achieve the best parallax setting? John Paul from JP Rifles explains parallax in this Shooting USA video. He also explains why it is important to correctly set parallax for the distance to your target. The video shows how to adjust parallax properly, starting with the scope’s optical focus. How to Mount a Riflescope You will also need to adjust the scope’s fore/aft position so that the eye relief is correct. The ideal scope position can be different for shooting prone or from the bench.
