So, you've got your hands on an AR15, and you're curious about what makes it tick. You're in luck. Peeling back the layers will help you to understand what makes up this iconic gun. Read more now on AR15 Parts
First off, let's get something straight--this isn't rocket science, but it can feel like a jigsaw puzzle if you're new. Trust me, once you're familiar with your AR15 Parts, it'll be like understanding the quirks of your favorite video game.
The Upper Receiver: The Brain Box
Start with the upper receiver. Think of this as the brain box of your rifle. This is where the action happens--literally. The barrel, the bolt carrier group (BCG), as well as the charging handle are all housed in this compartment. The barrel is where the bullets leave. The BCG? It's like the engine, cycling the rounds. The charging handle is it? It's similar to the way you start a lawnmower by pulling a string.
The Lower Receiver: the Heart of the Matter
Let's talk about the lower receiver. It's not as glamorous, but this is the heart of your AR15. This is where the magazine well, trigger and buttstock are located. The trigger is the direct link to action. You can start by popping in a new magazine in the magazine well. Buttstock? The gun is resting on the shoulder.
Handguards and Rail Systems on the Swiss Army Knife
Have you ever heard of a Handguard? It's a Swiss Army Knife attached to the barrel. It offers a place to mount accessories and protects you from the heat of the barrel. Picatinny, M-Lok, or KeyMod rails? Yeah, those are just fancy terms for different mounting systems for lights, lasers, and grips.
The Middleman in the Gas System
Your rifle also has a gas system, the middleman in the firing process. Gases are released when you fire the gun, and they also cycle the BCG. This is like killing two birds at once: the bullet moves and the gun is ready for the next shot.
We're not talking about ultra-obsessive routines here, but it is important to keep your AR15 clean. A dirty rifle is like trying to drive a car with mud all over the windshield--not ideal. It will treat you well if it is kept lubricated and free from gunk.
