Brett --
Nice job. Couple of comments.
1. Removing the trigger: The selector/safety does not need to be removed. Not sure why yours had to come out. Easy to push the trigger out from the bottom.
2. As long as you're on a roll do a fire control part reassembly video. Use a slave pin to hold the disconnector in the trigger and it's quite easy.

Chuck,
Thanks!
Not sure why the trigger would not come out, the back side of the trigger block where it engages the safety selector would not slide out from under the safety selector it was kind of caught between the trigger hole in the lower receiver and the selector and since it happened while I was shooting I just decided to remove the selector.
I probably should shoot a more detailed video on how to remove just the safety selector.
Great idea about a reassembly video, I will probably shoot one and I think I need to zoom in a little tighter and just hold a tight zoom so that everyone can see the parts better. I am not shooting with a high def video cam, but rather using my Fuji S1000FS camera so it does have some limitations to how close I can get and maintain auto focus.
Thanks for the tips and comments!

That. And practice keeping your hands out of the way of what you're doing!
I've done some practice videos using a webcam and putting the monitor above the workbench. Once you get used to looking at your hands in the monitor it's easier to show what you want.

I think the one I just shot came out ok.. It's hard when your shooting with a camera that's the size of a 35mm SLR and I can't pivot the LCD around, I can flip it out and down. I did elevate my tripod up so that I could "point down" and I zoomed in further and it came out nice and clear.
Now the only issue is getting the video broken down into segments that will fit within Youtube's stupid 10 minute limit! My videos are always longer than 10 mins!

Brett,
Great videos sir! Looking forward to more of them. If you'd like to make them available for download & off-line viewing I've got servers & bandwidth that I'd be happy to make available.
Cheers!

Guy,
Thanks for the compliments and the sticky!
If anyone has any requests please post them up and I will shoot them as time allows. A Barrel Removal and Reinstall video will be done as soon as I get my Barrel back from threading. For anyone wishing to remove their barrel and wanting to make a barrel tool please use the enclosed image as a blueprint and you can use 1" EMT Conduit available at Lowes.

Thank you
Thanks for the great video on the lower disassembly. I broke down my lower and did the spring mods thanks to vitamind3's instructions. I'm quite pleased with the results. It seems as if I took the 9+ lb trigger to the 4 lb range.

Appreciate the vids - VERY helpful! What are your thoughts about possibly using PVC for the barrel tool?

Defender,
PVC has been used by many here on the forums with mixed results. I wanted one tool that would last so I opted for metal and it was by sheer coincidence that EMT Conduit is exactly the right dimensions (see photo)

How about some more "introductory" videos to answer a lot of the questions we ask/see on here a lot:
- how to load the magazine
- cleaning
- etc

Yeah! TC that is a fantastic idea!
I am adding those to the list. Some of this will have to wait till the barrel is back in my hands, but I could shoot the how to load the magazine video this week, perhaps tonight.

loading technique
Hey I think these videos are great but, have a difference of opinion on proper magazine loading. I've never had any trouble using my method and believe it to be close to what S&W meant in their instructions.
Do not use the load assist to ever fully remove the stack tension from the round you are inserting into the magazine. Use the load assist only to help aid in sliding in the new round. I had two brand new shooters using my M&P this weekend and they both successfully loaded without any misaligned rounds following my instructions. If your way works for you that's all well and good but, I've never mis loaded any of 500 rounds yet.

The Cockatoo is one of those nice things my Dad left me last year when he passed away unexpectedly.... She's the gift that keeps on giving (me grief).

She added some interesting sound effects to the video, but my stupid cats ran and hid when they heard it!
Keep those videos coming, they are great. Thanks!

Zunkted,
I think I will go back through and edit the first post to include all the videos in a descending row (great idea).
The bird is an Umbrella Cockatoo and she's a pain in the arse...

Hey Brett..! Used your grip replacement vid last nite for my new 15-22 and it was great. Just a few comments now that I've gone thru it completely...
I think it'd be a good idea to mention the two little "detent" pieces underneath the springs for the breakdown pin and safety. When I took the stock grip off, the springs came out but the two little detents fell out as well..!
At first I wasn't sure what they were (scared the **** out of me! thought I broke something) but I figured it out in the end. They're very small pieces, one is plastic the other metal or aluminum.
Anyway, just thought it'd be a good idea to make mention so people won't accidently lose them. Or maybe its common sense.. haha.. but I had no idea and thought my newly unboxed 15-22 was toast!! =)
Thanks!

Lex,
Great point! I did not mention the actual detents because I've never had them fall out before. I should have covered that in the video. I think I will add an annotation to the video mentioning that! Thanks for the tip!
And I'm glad my videos helped you out!

Rip,
I planned on it.. I did that before I went to work this morning and didn't have time to update it. They should have picked up the titles automatically but they did not for some odd reason!
