Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succor of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.
I think SOTAR can confuse new AR owners into thinking their working AR might have a problem if they don't check to see if it meets "specs".
His videos should come with a caveat, (for educational purposes only, not for standard maintenance application)
It's good to watch when trying to relax or take a nap.
Some interesting stuff. But he under lubes his BCG, I prefer to dip the whole rifle in oil after I slather & pack the the BCG with grease.
I substitute 2 dimes & a nickel for the quarter, I'm a bit of a econoclast.
The coins won't increase the gap, but I can tell my wife I saved a little change while shooting.

Dudes get so assed up over Chad's videos and content and all they have to do to live a peaceful life free from all the strife that he's caused them is to just not watch the videos. The only test of his that I've ever done is the quarter test. All of mine passed albeit one was a hair tight. I find the videos highly educational and informative as a way of identifying why a particular gun or part will not run reliably.
He's never said all the gauging and inspection is necessary and he's not pushing anyone to buy gauges and start tearing their guns apart. He even goes so far as to point out that when, say, a BCG fails the three bore test that it doesn't mean the gun won't run or that it should be scrapped, just that it might not be as gas efficient as it should be.
I swear some of you act like he slapped and insulted your mothers.
Another test I learned from the videos was standing the bolt carrier upright with the weight pushing down to test if the gas rings were worn. If the bolt doesn’t hold the carrier up the rings are worn. Simple field test.
Agreed. I do think a lack of knowledge about AR's & along with OCD, will cause some who watch SOTAR videos to stress themselves out.
No fault of SOTAR. I myself did the quarter test. Like all YouTube, I take with a grain of salt.
SOTAR videos are the only 45 min videos I don't FF
He gives the details, use them or not, still good content.
I also think it's great how much he lubes his BCG, & love to see, the just a drop here & there guys pulling their hair out. And I thought I was going overboard using red & tacky#2, plus a little oil just in case, his lube video made me think I probably could use a touch more.

Looks like he is forming his own service and getting off the big tech platforms.

I’ll support anyone giving the middle finger to the communists at YouTube.
