Hello again everyone.  Well, I have my first AR on order and I have one question.  I am new to AR's and I wanted a video or book to get me familiarized with the AR before the gun arrives.  I have found a couple of videos and I wanted to ask which you all think would be better before I buy one.  Or is there something better I can get?  The videos I found are;

Mastering the Ar-15
  by  Lenny Magill  and   Jim Clark

and

American Gunsmithing Institute  (AGI)
  The AR-15  Armorers course and
  technical manual

Please if anyone could recommend one of the two or maybe something else.  Thanks in advance for your help!  I really appreciate it.  Oh, I ordered a RRA.

Thanks again,

_Lloyd

Although I myself have never seen it, I've both heard & read the Magill video to be a pretty good one.  I would get that one before the AGI one, as you'll more benefit from the familiarization/usage aspect than gunsmithing.

Spider,

Thanks for the info.  I was leaning more towards that video.  Just wanted some expert advice.

Thanks again,

I have the video Mastering the AR15 and it is well worth the money . I have watched and rewatched parts of it many times. It will show you basic AR disassembly and cleaning. It helped me have confidence in my upgrading to a match trigger I put in myself as an example. Has MANY thoughts and ideas on zeroing sights,  different shooting positions,etc.

Get both. The AGI video will teach you how to build an AR.

[blue] I have the AGI video's and I would recommend them to anyone . It's like having someone to help you properly care for and do basic things to your weapons. I find the video quality real good , the close ups are as if you were standing right over the instructors shoulder.
