MK12s will always be my favorite due to the vast differences and setups. The one I ran while serving is different then the two I own now but for reasons. Never gets old
@@chaoticcaninejb Are you a KAC FF RAS or PRI guy, and if PRI, which gen and top rails? Best thing I think to do to SPRs is pull the barrel and go 6.5 Grendel. So much easier to connect in the wind and it hits really hard.
@LRRPFco52 hard to decide, but preferably my KAC RAS for actual realistic training and what I want for performance, the PRI Gen 2 with top rail is classic and my favorite. It's just easily and works when using attachments without having to male adjustments. Hard to decide but both for.different reasons. Nostalgia will always be a thing for me, but never the reason I buy, build or shoot.
Depends on the contracting IMO, it’s a vague enough word so as to imply a lot of topics. I know a dude who says he contracted but was just a guard on some depot in Africa with old busted M16’s.
Of course being an USAF vet, my favorite is the Chapman build. I've got a replica GAU-5 from Troy, its a shooter. Modern twist rate on the barrel and M4 feed ramps. However no forward assist. It does have a 12" barrel w/a 4" fake moderator pin and welded. A replica not a clone...
God i love the block 2 clones man. Yes all the others are badass and cool but man i love the mk18/m4a1 block 2. Im obsessed haha. Another great vid man appreciate what you do
If you look at CAG Recce Free-Float carbines from the early 1990s, those are the OGs, but I really like the SEAL 15.1" w/KAC Rifle RAS evolution, and its predecessor with a 12" aluminum float tube and sleeved AEM. There's a whole little period of time there that cloners haven't really tapped into, as the parts and optics are extremely difficult to find. Hardest one is the Japanese 1.5-4.5 Microdot LPVO, which was influential in the development of the Short Dot that came later.
I am really bummed that the LVAW handguards are basically non existent. Been trying to find one for over two years and always miss a used one for sale, or can’t verify the authenticity (seller trying to scam me with a passable airsoft rail)
I think we're gonna end up seeing the Secret Service SR16 become a desired clone. I prefer the older URX Mlok rail to the one the Secret Service is currently using. The one thing I hate about KAC is how hard it is to find them in stock. I think KAC is going to become a bit more consumer friendly in the coming years unless the US gets involved in a major conflict again. Otherwise the simple fact of the matter is--machines are expensive and Knights bought a ton of top of the line machines. Sooner or later contracts alone won't pay the bills.
My understanding: Navy EOD was being attached to special forces units. The idea being, it was easier to take a trained EOD guy and attach him to SF than to train members of SF to be EOD guys. It was necessary with the number of IED devices they were encountering. Navy EOD had some specific requests on their rifle, being that they were now deploying with SF. The requested rifle was then developed at Naval Surface Warfare Center - Crane Division.
I used to see Kyle's green FF tube in a drawer at the FFL I worked at outside of Bragg every day just rolling around in there, not sure what the manager was gonna do with it. Carbine-length rails were all the rage at the time (2003-2004).

This is one of my favorite videos of the week
Would cloning a contractors rifle count? I've been working on cloning the rifle I used while doing contract work.
I would say it does in my opinion
Seconded

If you got a blackwater Najaf clone bushmaster then frig yeah
Don't most contractors use DD off the shelf rifles and kit them out?

Sig is singlehandedly keeping clone builds rare by discontinuing rifles after 3 minutes of production
Damn. That Chapman build might have to be something I do next. Hard af
As a prior AF guy, I really liked seeing Chapmans build being recognized
My new favorite series, thank you.
Thanks for the support bro!
Hell yea man im excited for clone shoot 2024!
Im so glad im finding this channel just now on episode 5. What a find. That mcx has my ❤
MOAR CLONES!
West coast eod mk18 is the best mk18
Chapman build is the raddest.
God i love the block 2 clones man. Yes all the others are badass and cool but man i love the mk18/m4a1 block 2. Im obsessed haha. Another great vid man appreciate what you do
Absolutely loving this series!
Great channel and joles builds are awesome
Anything Block II and Mk12 are my favorites!
I'd like to see some NSW SRR clones. The Mk12 ModH before the Mk12 existed.

Yeah this is awesome you do such a great job thank you
Begun the clone wars have
The absolute best !
Love this series!
all of them!!!!
When my ral 417 is complete I’ll be happy to send and m110a1 csass. It’ll be a bit though
i love this series🙏
Thumbnail was clickbait
Get baited I guess
i want to see someone doing a german KSK/KSM 416 build

Champman rifle
More please!

Their upgrades and continual contracts continue to flow though, but I share your desire for more parts availability in the civilian market.
can someone explain why is that EOD ar15 need in that configuration? its was spend tax money thing? Or its custom shorty before mk18 exists?

Thanks now my cart is bigger.
Wait, my SRD762 is expensive now?
This is my first time on touching-down ob your channel suggestion. Can you bring videos-rifle suppressors?
Chop Boss can work on Tube Builds.
Where u get the thumb nail photo??
I thought this was a Star Wars video
Early GWOT delta carbine
The Kyle Lamb clone is pretty cool, shame the light is so far off though
What do you mean far off if I may ask?
@@gamingtoday3708 mount, tailcap, and body namely. The one in the earlier video nailed it
@@redrider762 Oh, That was a Tora bora clone. This one was based on Kyle Lambs, totally different setup. Gangster grips do have a look however.
I used to see Kyle's green FF tube in a drawer at the FFL I worked at outside of Bragg every day just rolling around in there, not sure what the manager was gonna do with it.
Carbine-length rails were all the rage at the time (2003-2004).
@@gamingtoday3708 oh I thought it was in a video. I saw it on IG instead. Same build, but had all the details.
I dont instagram but I would have liked to send in a pic great video!!!!
@@dependablekit5500 I announced it here on UA-cam as well, make sure you’re subscribed to see future posts 👍
waiting for someone to drop there mk13 mod 0 build
Block II Mk.18 w/DD rail is so much better. CAS-V is bulky and adds unnecessary weight and handguard lower height awkwardness.
@@LRRPFco52 those two rails are the same weight
Mk12 is over played, GL/SSC is the way to go
Curious to see if someone can clone Aus Army 2DO ARs with the troy handguard and specter
