Young Manufacturing BCG Examinations (1 Physical/ 1 Autopsy)

"Don't do this at home." Yeah, cause I have a bench full of gauges at home like that. 😅

I recently installed the most expensive BCG I’ve ever bought for a personal upper. Hand cycling revealed unusual resistance going in and out of battery. I tried a much less expensive BCG, no problem. I borescoped the interior of the carrier, and found not only significant tool marks in the gas ring bore, but significant burrs inside the gas relief ports. It’s going back to the manufacturer.

It's like Déjà vu all over again! I can say without a doubt my two Young Manufacturing BCGs have run flawlessly after the SOTAR treatment.

I would love to see your recommended parts list for replacement parts and what you think about bolt carrier coatings.

These videos are outstanding. I have multiple armorer certs from Glock, LWRC, HK, and FN, but these are incredibly informative and cover minutiae that I'd never received on the AR. And yes the camera work is really good.

Thanks to Ms. Donna for the stellar camera work! Thanks also to Chad for putti g this jazz o line for those of us, 2A supporters, to learn from the best!

Off topic of the video but whenever I’m cleaning one of my ARs or building one, swapping parts or whatever I’m doing I love to just hit play on the playlist and listen while I’m working. I’m not listening to videos regarding the work I’m doing, I just like to listen to Chad while I’m working on my rifles.

You mentioned it in the video but I’ll repeat it. Your wife is a really good camera operator. Great views on all of the details.

Thank you for the great content. Very informative. Best format on Youtube.

Love Love Love these types of vids. Please keep em coming and thank you for making them.

Also so enlightening...you do an excellent job at teaching! Thanks

Another excellent video! No issue with audio. Thank You so much for sharing your knowledge, it is most appreciated.

YAY! new autopsies... been waiting for some new content. keep up the good work

So I read YM statement on screw staking... it doesn't actually say why they don't stake. It just says we don't do it, here's what mil-spec calls for, and here's what we. Should you stake it, we won't warranty it. None of that really answers the question of why they don't do it though

Absolutely love this video, a lot more in depth into the gun smithing/machining side. Love to know how everything coexists together and how everything is made, also what it's made of (for best performance) I so wish I could be a young squire to you and absorb the vast river of knowledge in which you covet concerning the Riffle "WE" love as Americans.

I love your videos, I have learned so much and am excited to continue learning. I hope I will have the opportunity to own and utilize a majority of the tools, gauges, and devices you use. Thank you and your amazing wife for providing such wonderful content.

Great video & terrific content as always! Thanks Chad & Donna.

These vids are so satisfying for some reason. Wish he d have a page that ranks all the bcg s . He should almost buy which ones he thinks best then put the parts on it he likes , then sell them. People always will pay for the best

I bought my BCG a few years ago at a gun show and the only thing I knew about inspecting it was the staking. It's a no name brand made in a small shop somewhere in Ohio, the guy I bought it from for $150 couldn't give me any information either. Now that I've been watching these videos and know what to look for I have taken mine all apart and examining everything. I can't believe what I'm seeing! Everything I look at based on these videos looks freaking awesome. This thing is so good and the machining inside is excellent. I'm not sure if it's Chrome plated or nickel boron, the color looks similar to the ones in this video but I'm just not sure. The bolts and extractor are black. The sides of the bolt carrier have that kind of cool looking faceted shape. What I do know is everything looks really good. I am thinking about ordering some of those Springco springs though, just for good measure.

love your content . big thank you for teaching me so much... I'm a hobbyist I'd love to be high caliber (hhaha) in smithing and all the things you're teaching... I build out rifles but I'd if there's much of a market in my area for these skills. Oh well at least I can live vicariously though you!
