My Yeager recently got his concealed carry license revoked because of some of his youtube videos for making threats. Additionally he likes to put camera men down range, challenge people to duels, and other crazy stuff. Yeager is, in my opinion, unfit to be an instructor of anything and should have his mental health evaluated :tiphat:

With that said I could never endorse a video he appears in or produced regardless of the content.
How do you explain a dog named Sauer without first telling the story of a Puppy named Sig?

I understand what you mean. I have a love hate relationship with him and his videos. He does have some good info on some of them. He got me to try wheel bearing grease on my AR and I will probably never use anything else. It just works. His video where he made threats wasn't really what the media is making it out to be but he definitely sounded crazy on it. He was basically saying if our POTUS passed an Executive Order to ban guns he was ready to fight back. He used some poor wording and just looked all around insane on the video. That video in combination with his video to fly anyone down to TN to call him a coward(A.K.a. the Duel video) were the last straws with me. I won't endorse his videos anymore either no matter whether I agree with the content or not. .

ive watched Yeager's AR15 lube video and i tried it on my rifle with great success. My only issue was after the range trip, i didnt clean my rifle. After a couple of weeks I went to clean the rifle and it was a pain in the butt to clean. The grease and powder dried up and it took some elbow grease to get it all out. I now only use grease on the bolt carrier rails and cam pin. Everything else gets hit with mobil 1 20w50. Plus it is easier to relube with oil than grease.

I admit I didn't watch the video yet. Am I the only one who only uses CLP on everything and lets it run a bit wet?
