AR-15 Chamber Polishing: BRM Flex-Hone® for Firearms Tools Polish AR-15 Rifle Chambers, Promote Smooth Ejection of Spent Cartridge Cases
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 08, 2014 -- Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM), Made in the USA maker of Flex-Hone® tools, is announcing user feedback that describes how flexible honing polishes AR-15 rifle chambers. By removing residues and imparting a plateau finish, the Flex-Hone® for Firearms produces a long-wearing surface that prevents plastic buildup and supports the performance of rifles, shotguns, pistols, revolvers, and paintball guns.
AR-15 Maintenance
The AR-15 is a lightweight, magazine-fed rifle with a bolt and carrier mechanism. As the bolt carrier fills with pressurized gas, the bolt unlocks and moves rearward to extract the empty cartridge case from the chamber. When the neck of the case clears the barrel extension, a spring-loaded ejector forces the case through a port on the side of the upper receiver.
Designed and built for the U.S. military, the AR-15 is now popular with hunters, target shooters, and law enforcement personnel. The long gun’s weight and accuracy contribute to its popularity, and many gun owners ask for advice about AR-15 maintenance. The website for Gun Magazine offers maintenance tips for tasks such as cleaning and polishing.
Flex-Hone® for Rifles
In an on-line article entitled AR-15 Building Tools – Part II, a Flex-Hone® user mentioned the BRM chamber hone by name. The author also emphasized the importance of polishing AR-15 chambers to ensure that spent cartridge cases eject properly. Other gun tools on the list included a bolt disassembly fixture, a front takedown pin detent installer, and rear-sight spring tools.
BRM Flex-Hone® for Firearms tools are available for any type or size chamber, cylinder, barrel, slide, or magazine tube. In the case of AR-15 rifle chambers, the Flex-Hone® for Rifles safely removes corrosion, oxidation, residues, and machining marks. BRM rifle brushes feature flexible filaments with globules of silicon carbide abrasive, and are available in overall lengths of 6”, 8”, 12”, and 14”.
Plateau Finishing
Flex-Hone® technology uses a low-temperature, low-pressure abrading process to produce a long wearing surface with a minimum of stock removal, keeping bores at the precise dimensions required. As this video shows, Flex-Hone® tools are also easy to use. They can be used with handheld electric tools or machine centers, and are trusted by gunsmiths and the firearms industry alike.
Flexible honing also produces a plateau finish that optimizes lubrication. To impart this ideal surface finish, Flex-Hone® for Firearms tools remove highly-stressed surfaces that can contribute to the formation of corrosion. Smoother surfaces also prevent plastic buildup and support the proper performance of firearms such as the AR-15 rifle.
