From the gunsmiths bench 5/31/16 TOPIC: Important Information Regarding Barrel Nuts and Barrel Removal on Carbon Fiber Rifles ... I've had a few customers call me since we introduced the Carbon Fiber rifles saying they were trying to install a free float handguard and the barrel nut would not fit on the upper receiver. The barrel nut on our Carbon Fiber rifles has a different diameter thread than a standard AR15 barrel nut. This area of the Carbon fiber upper was beefed up to make this critical area stronger. In so doing it was necessary for us to increase the size of the threaded area and therefore change the thread on the barrel nut to fit this. The outside dimensions of the barrel nut are exactly the same as a standard barrel nut. Only the inside diameter and thread of the barrel nut was changed. Any carbine length free float handguard that is designed to work on a standard AR15 barrel nut will work fine, but no free float handguards that require the change of the barrel nut will work. Also for gunsmiths that are trying to remove the barrel on a Carbon Fiber rifle, it is important to have the upper on a barreling device that engages the lugs in the barrel extension. The clamp style vise blocks will not fit the Carbon Fiber upper, and you should never secure the upper by only the upper receiver takedown and pivot pin lugs. Torqueing against the lugs is likely to cause damage to the receiver.. When we barrel the uppers at the factory we only use barreling spuds that engage the lugs in the barrel extension. Also note that we use a bit of Loctite on the threads. So if you remove the barrel nut it is very important to clean all of the dried Loctite out of the threads on the barrel nut so you don't risk cross threading during re-installation. It is also recommended to reapply a little red 262 Loctite to this area, and not exceed 30 foot pounds of torque when tightening the barrel nut. Cleaning/Maintenance I've also had inquiries about whether we offer a cleaning/maintenance video for our rifles. We do not but I don't think we could offer any video better than the excellent one put out by NSSF. On YouTube.com Therefore I always refer people And lastly, we are now offering this excellent tool that makes cleaning your bolt carrier very easy. It is a bolt scraper, firing pin cleaner, scraper for removing carbon inside the carrier, and has a slot to hold a patch for swabbing the inside of the carrier out. If you ever have questions about your rifle, you are always welcome to call 816-288-4047

The level 8 was amazing. It took 6 -62. Grain green tip 5.56 rounds and 5- 147 grain Winchester 7.62x51 rounds and stopped all 11 rounds. We have more ballistic test coming soon if interested in our products feel free to message me at [email protected] for pricing and quotes on ballistic glass and custom built frames to hold them

I tested 4 different calibers 9mm, 7.62X39 , 7.62X54R, & 30-06

Good afternoon out side doing ballistic testing and getting my deer rifle ready at the same time. The 1/2" thick Lexan bullet resistant glass with several layers of DuPont Kevlar

So after many months of testing I have found actual bullet resistant glass. That we can confidently offer our customers.

Original look of the Mosin Nagant

3/4" level 2 bullet resistant glass this stuff impressed me it took 10 rounds of 147 .gr hollow points and did not allow 1 to pass through But again I was told it could handle 223 /5.56 #notachance it did slow them down and that did impress me I shot both standard pmc ammo at it and some 62 gr 5.56 green tip and the glass did slow it down but they still passed through, and the 7.62x39 cut through like a hot knife through butter. Stay tuned for more testing later this week we will be testing level 5-8 glass hopefully those actually stop rifle rounds we shall see If interested in purchasing any bullet resistant plastic, or sheet goods feel free to message me for pricing and check out mikesgunworx.com Thanks Mike

Had another fun afternoon testing " Bullet resistant glass" I'm yet to find one but thank you to my supplier LTI. For the product to test this is 1 1/4 level 2 I was told it would stop 223/5.56 that it did not do and the 7.62x39 really ripped her up but it did handle well against the .357 mag hollow points and hornady critical defense.45acp rounds

Round entered straight on

FROM THE GUNSMITH'S BENCH Mike Perez , Owner Mikes Gun Worx Gunsmith Independence Missouri TOPIC: Installation of the Elftmann Tactical Drop In Trigger... First make sure rifle is unloaded then remove upper from lower. Now drive out the hammer and trigger pins to remove hammer, trigger and disconnector. Then unscrew and remove pistol grip screw and carefully remove being sure not to lose the safety detent or spring. Note orientation of detent for reinstallation later. Remove safety selector. Included is a bottom plate that is optional. It's primarily for carbon fiber lowers so the tensioning screws don't crack the lower. But there's really no reason not to install it as it will keep the tensioning screws from marring the finish on the inside of the aluminum lowers as well. Make sure the tensioning screws are even with the bottom of the assembly on both sides and drop the trigger in. Install pins and safety selector. It's important to install the safety selector before securing the tensioning pins as it will not go in after tightening them down Now tighten the tensioning screws evenly on both sides tightening each side turn each until the screws are snug and the hammer/trigger pins are secure. Then install the locking screws on top of the tensioning screws to keep them from backing out. Also note there is a trigger pull weight adjustment screw in the rear of the assembly which allows you to adjust the weight of the pull. Clockwise makes it heavier, counter clockwise makes it lighter. If it is adjusted too heavy the trigger won't pull, if it is adjusted too light the disconnector won't release.
