Install flash hider - clamp on upper or barrel?
I am assembling a new upper. I am trying to figure out how I will secure the upper while tightening the flash hider. Is it better to use a barrel clamp in a vise or to use the upper receiver block and clamp it from the upper? Thanks for your thoughts!- Tango24

Clean AR barrel with no solvents, dry brush only?
This past weekend I saw a demonstration of cleaning an AR in which the instructor said to never use solvents.

How critical is bolt selection?
In planning my build I've started looking at bolts. My understanding so far is that it is preferable to get a bolt with the barrel. The only part I have decided on so far is the barrel, which I purchased from White Oak. They told me so long as I buy a bolt that is mil-spec I'll be okay. They...- Tango24

Building an AR, does choice of receivers matter much?
I have been doing a lot of reading (especially on this site!) trying to work out what will go into my upcoming AR-15 build. I find a lot of material regarding barrel choices and triggers, no problem there. And things like hand guards, muzzle devices, sights, etc. seem to rely mostly on the...- Tango24
