You may want a different barrel twist-rate, a different barrel metal type, or to acquire accessories that your current barrel doesn\u2019t have. Whatever the reason, changing out a barrel is something all AR15 owners should know how to do. This task may seem intimidating to do yourself at first, but following the instructions in this article and video, taking your time, and having confidence in your abilities will all help you to be successful. Uninstalling and installing an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bearcreekarsenal.com\/ar-15\/ar-15-barrels.html\">AR-15 barrel<\/a> take several steps, though it does not actually take that much time to do. Specifically for this article, I installed a new barrel on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dpmsinc.com\/556-ORACLE_ep_135-1.html\">DPMS Oracle AR15<\/a>, so some of the parts may be a little different than yours, but generally the steps are the same.

This vice block is custom built for AR15s and is designed to securely hold the upper and lower independently of one another in a vice. The vice block and armorer\u2019s wrench can easily be found online or at most AR15 dealers. A torque wrench can be found at most any hardware or automotive store. This wrench has a learning curve, but is pretty easy to figure out how to use with accompanying instructions, or finding them on the web. A small amount of firearm grease is needed, though the type of grease is up to debate, as you will find varying recommendations out there. Shop rags are nice to have as well to keep parts, and your hand clean.<\/p>\n<h3>Steps to Uninstall\u00a0an AR15 Barrel<\/h3>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Step One<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1922\" title=\"AR-15 upper into a vice\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/TReilly-20170126TReilly-20170126_DSC4084-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"The upper receiver of an AR-15 placed into a vice\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/TReilly-20170126TReilly-20170126_DSC4084-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/TReilly-20170126TReilly-20170126_DSC4084-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/TReilly-20170126TReilly-20170126_DSC4084-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/TReilly-20170126TReilly-20170126_DSC4084-2048x1151.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>Remove the upper receiver, which includes the barrel and handguard, from the lower receiver of the AR-15.

You\u2019ve successfully installed and uninstalled an AR15 barrel. With this new skill, you will now be able to change out your AR-15 barrel for a different barrel \u201ctwist rate\u201d, a different barrel metal type, or to buy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/index.php\/cName\/accessories\">AR-15 accessories<\/a> that your current barrel doesn\u2019t have. Remember, this task does not take a long time, but it does require taking your time, and having confidence in your abilities to be successful. Putting in the time to make sure you perfect the install can save you a lot of headaches at the range &#8212; or worse. Of course, we have to suggest if you&#8217;re not comfortable installing a barrel yourself, don&#8217;t be afraid to consult with a trained gunsmith to ensure your next training trip is as safe as it can be. <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-1906\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/TReilly-20170126TReilly-20170126_DSC3998-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/TReilly-20170126TReilly-20170126_DSC3998-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/TReilly-20170126TReilly-20170126_DSC3998-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/TReilly-20170126TReilly-20170126_DSC3998-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/TReilly-20170126TReilly-20170126_DSC3998-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you shoot as much as we do, it&#8217;s inevitable that you&#8217;re going to need to change out your AR-15 barrel at some point.
