Tips for cleaning and maintaining your AR-15

March 9, 2019 by Scott Witner Leave a Comment

Tips for cleaning and maintaining your AR-15

Kyle Defoor’s teaching methodology is second to none. He takes what he learned as an assaulter in the SEAL Teams and breaks it down for us to learn. There are a lot of instructors out there and videos on YouTube explaining how to clean and maintain your carbine rifle, but how reputable are they? Kyle is one of those guys that walks the walk and talks the talk. Take a look at the following video to see what Kyle recommends for cleaning and maintenance of the AR15 platform.

“Any oil right into those two holes and it will work. This is the best way to lube while completely loaded as well. After shooting approximately 5-6 rounds the lube will be spread to all the internal parts properly.” – Kyle Defoor
