Magpul PMAG Dis-assembly and Install 10 Round Limter 
An Embarrassing First Start On YouTube


So everyone starting a business or starting a new hobby have their fair share of embarrassing first actions. From my froggy voice to the iPhone being positioned the wrong way, I got it out of the way back in July.

In this video I discussed:

Using a 10 round block to convert a 20 round Magpul PMAG into a California Legal 10/20 round Magazine for the AR-15 platform.

AR15 Info and Parts List



The AR-15 

ar15



The AR-15 (ArmaLite Rifle-15 not Assault Rifle-15) is a
 lightweight, 5.56 mm(Other calibers now available), magazine-fed,
semi-automatic rifle, with a rotating-lock bolt(Bolt carrier group),
actuated by direct impingement gas (Gas Upper) operation or long/short
stroke piston (Piston Upper) operation. It is manufactured primarily
 of aluminum alloys (Usually 7075) and synthetic materials (Your plastics).


The AR-15 was first built by ArmaLite as an assault rifle for the United
States armed forces.Due to financial problems, ArmaLite sold the
AR-15 design to Colt. The select-fire version of the AR-15 entered the
U.S. military system as the M16 rifle. Colt then started selling the
semi-automatic version of the M16 rifle as the Colt AR-15 for civilian
 sales in 1963.

Although the name "AR-15" remains a Colt registered trademark,
 there are variations of the firearm independently made, modified and
 sold under different names and multiple manufacturers. Today there are
 dozens of manufacturers creating entire rifles and/or specializing in specific
 parts of the rifle.

Almost all manufacturers hold to the same Mil-Spec standards or higher
when making parts, so there isn't much concern when choosing a brand.
There are some companies that have built their reputations around their
 meticulous attention to detail and additional chemical treatments
 which provide piece of mind for some when making a purchase.

This section will be covering many different topics including; AR-15
General Parts List, AR-15 Part Descriptions and Uses, AR-15 Caliber
Selection, Defining The Purpose of Your AR-15, and Barrel Length Selection.

The question that most often comes up is “What type of scope should I be using with my AR-15?” There are an infinite number of factors that go into the selection of scope – price being a major one. To help you out, American War Machines has developed a list of our Top 10 1x4 Scopes for your AR-15.


1. Burris Generation 2 Xtreme Rifle Scope
Though it’s at a higher price range, you get what you pay for with this model. This scope boasts a 5.56 Ballistic with Fastfire II Features, including low profile knobs, 30 mm scope tubes, and water to bead and shed off for a clearer view. This scope is waterproof, fog proof, and shockproof. It’s Hi Lume multi-coating boosts clarity while its large, ultra-premium lenses offer unsurpassed resolution, clarity, and brightness. Built for its accuracy, this model comes with a double-force coil spring suspension to lock the inner tube in place.
2. Leupold Mark AR Mod 1 Rifle Scope
For about half the price of the above model, you can get this Leupold Scope. Equipped with a proprietary lens coating system to enhance image, and Multicoat 4 to increases the amount of available light while reducing reflection, this model is a great option for someone focused on increased visibility at a lower cost. As with all Leupold products, this scope is protected by a high end waterproofing system.
3. Burris MTAC Rifle Scope
Great for hunting or tactical shooting, the Burris MTAC Scope model was developed for accuracy and precision. Known for its wide field of view, the MTAC is ideal for use with an AR-15. The illuminated reticle allows for immediate instant target acquisition regardless of lighting condition. Despite it’s lower price, this scope delivers optical performance on par with ultra- premium scopes. This model offers precision ground optical glass that is multi-coated with Hi Lume for clear, high-resolution images.
4. Leupold Patrol Vx-r Rifle Scope
The second of three Leupold’s on this list, the Leupold Patrol Vx-r Rifle Scope is more expensive, but it comes with more features. Each lens surface boasts a different specific coating, based on the lens’ index of refraction, placement and function, layering each coating to eliminate reflections and maximize light transmission. The result is unparalleled brightness and extremely sharp resolution across the entire visual field. This coating has proven useful in battle, and will prove itself in any other capacity. Plus, it’s waterproofed.  
5. Leupold MR/T Mark 4 Rifle Scope
Another Leupold? You betcha. The fact is they make a great product. This particular model, the MR/T Marl 4 Rifle Scope give you a major boost in magnification and clarity. A favorite among hunters and competitive shooters, the Xtended Twilight Lens System gives you tremendous visual clarity in low light. This model also includes a blackened lens edge, lessening glare and increasing resolution.
6. Millett Dms Tactical Rifle Scope
From recreational hunting to law enforcement, the Miller DMS Tactical Rifle Scope will help you get the job done. Generally found at about $200, this is easily one of the most affordable scopes out there, but your money goes a long way. This model includes 4x magnification, and an illuminated circle dot reticle that helps you aim more precisely and at faster speeds.
7. Burris Fullfield TAC30 Rifle Scope
Designed for tactical shooters, this model has some great features, including high quality lenses with HiLume multi-coatings, aircraft grade aluminum, and Burris-exclusive quad seals to seal out any moisture. The general consensus among owners is that for the price, the glass is surprisingly clear, and the reticle extremely precise.
8. Bushnell AR223 Rifle Scope
This Bushnell scope features Rapid Adjustment Magnification, target turrets for precise adjustments, and caliber specific reticles to ensure the accuracy of each round. Its fully multi-coated optics allow for noticeable brightness, while the new Drop Zone-223 Ballistic Reticle boasts aiming points out to 500 yards.
9. Trijicon Accupoint Rifle Scope 1-4x 24
A premium scope at a higher price point, the Trijicon Accupoint Rifle Scope is perfect for big game hunts or shorter distance shooting. This scope used fiber optics to increase illumination, giving a vivid aiming point without the need for batteries. The AccuPoint is also waterproof to ten feet.
10. Bushnell Trophy Xlt Rifle Scope
A popular and highly respected Rifle Scope, the Bushnell Trophy is one, nearly indestructible part with 91% light transmission. Its features include fully multi-coated optics for ultra-bright images, rigorous recoil testing for dependability in the field, and 100% water, fog, and shock proofing.

Thanking our brave heroes in our own way.

This year we launched
Operation American War Machines creating a hub for kindhearted people, like you, who want to do more than support in spirit.  Our last package went out to Kandahar, Afghanistan filled with lots of holiday goodies hoping to bring some holiday cheer to our warriors.  It is solely because of these brave men and women that we have the opportunity to live safely and securely at home.  We will NEVER FORGET that!  Thank you!

American War Machines continues to explore options on how to support our military and our second amendment rights.  We hope our business continues to flourish in 2014 so we may continue our efforts. So please  keep that in mind when you choose a place to shop.
