Excellent video.  Arguably the best series on YouTube about the subject.  

I even have my sons watching it as they learn how to build ARs as well!

Bump to keep this alive.  Why is this not tacked?

I agree with this.

I have built several lowers over the years and I have used manual. (I am old)
I started using a video a few years ago on every build.
None I have used are as easy to follow as this one.

I go back to my Rigger days of using a manual to rig loads for air drop.
So, now I use a video to put together the lowers.
Could I build one without the video? Yep! I could.
Thank you for making the video. This will be what I use now.

@nsz

Have you thought about moving your videos to a site like https://www.full30.com/ (or another gun friendly video site), just in case Youtube pulls your videos? You're vids are great and useful.

NSZ does have some of the most easy to follow and informational videos anywhere.  I used his video on my very first build, in fact it may have been this video.

I agree.  I used this video when I started out, and now I send the link to all of the people who ask me for info on their first builds.

I liked the video and appreciate all the time and effort needed to put that together. Thank you for sharing.

Old skool, I like pictures on paper in front of me.

It's ok to write notes and draw more pictures in the book!

It doesnt seem like NSZ has been active on youtube in some time, shame he made great content.

You can (and I suggest you do) download videos from youtube using various programs or free through conversion sites online. Im pretty sure I have his lower build videos saved, if full30 ever opens posting content to the public I will repost it there along with many other excellent videos that have been pulled by screwtube lately. Of course credit will be given to the content creators.

The thing that sucks is alot of these guys go MIA, who knows if they are even aware that their vids are getting pulled? Do they still have the original files to repost? Who knows.. Then theres the issue of full30 only letting the "big boys" post content. There are many less known creators with excellent vids that are not "invited" to post on full30. You need to be tight with the powers at full30 to get in.

Someone needs to swoop in and create a vid site that is uncensored, shutting down and taking all the traffic from screwtube. Not impossible, look what facebook did to myspace.

Wow, you're right. I saved a bunch of his videos using 4k video downloader many months ago, and I'm pretty sure his lower build was one that I saved. Just looked, and it's gone (or I didn't actually DL it at the time)

Folks, there are many screwtube video dowload programs and free online conversion sites that allow you to save screwtube videos. I higlhy suggest saving (downloading) videos you find interesting or helpfull when you come across them. screwtube has been pulling tons of firearms related videos and there is no gaurentee Full30 will ever open content posting to the public (aka not the big sponsored players). On top of that there is no gaurentee the content creator would be motivated to reupload the content onto another site or that they even have the original files to reupload.

There are some other less known video hosting sites (like archive.org) that do not censor, which would most likely have no issue hosting firearms related videos.They are not nearly as popular, well known or intuitive as screwtube though.
This may be a solution, where the community can download from screwtube and repost on archive.org or other site so this content wont be lost.

Full30 has a video after about 30 minutes of searching.

I actually *did* download the video.

Any suggestions on easy ways I could host it? Not looking to take away from his revenue streams or anything, so I'll defer to his wishes.

Archive.org doesnt seem to censor. I would say full30 but its invite only for the elites. Or make a throw away youtube account, post the vid but set to private and post direct link in this thread.

I’d like a link as well. Full30 now seems to be something called “juxxi” with no search function at all.

Would you (or one of the other people who downloaded it) mind sharing the copy you downloaded?

Rumble.com allows firearms videos... seems to be where a lot of former youtube gun folks have migrated to...

Well, no one who has the video ever responded or uploaded it anywhere that I'm aware of, so, I managed to find a copy and uploaded it myself.

NSZ85's videos were critical to my first ever AR build, way back when.  Even though there are better tools for some of the things he does these days, they're still useful, and I was distraught to learn they were being deleted and he was MIA.

I hope they help other new builders like they helped me.

BTW I downloaded a bunch of his videos, but Rumble doesn't seem to allow batch uploads or anything.  If anyone knows how to *easily* upload videos, please share the secret...

Thanks, and enjoy!

Did I miss something, or did he forget about the takedown pin detent and spring?  It's been so long since I watched it all the way through that I didn't even remember that.

The guide he refers to is still up and located here

On my first build, I also used the ITS Tactical walkthroughs...
