    Beautiful setup! I've actually got much of the inspiration for my recent 13.7" sbr upgrade from Shawn Ryan as well, among other former special ops guys like Tu Lam and Jason Pike. You just can't go wrong with their setup recommendations given their experience in war. Last thing I need for my setup is also the tan EXPS3-0!

    Im using a 14.5" barrel pinned & welded for my fighting rifle. The 5.56 round from its very birth was designed around a 20" barrel and you're already losing like 500fps by taking 5.5" off the barrel. 10.3" guns make super nice suppressor hosts tho.

    • @AXARMS
      @AXARMS  3 роки тому +4

      You need different tools for different applications, a 10.3” is a must in my personal collection, if it’s good enough for US SF it’s good enough for me. 10.3” 5.56 SBRs (HK 416) were carried by US Navy Seals during the famous Bin Laden raid.

    Also get a Vltor a5 buffer system,it decreases “parts wear” a ton, I’d recommend getting a Vltor a5 buffer system from sons of liberty gun works “solgw”, it comes with a Sprinko green spring which has a lifespan of 1.5 million compressions, compared to the 5-9 k you get out of normal buffer springs. Parts wear is the biggest problem with mk18s and this will totally correct that.
    Also it’s pronounced “mark” 18
    Not m.k.

      The Sprinco (proper spelling) devoloped by Alan Dugger will LITERALLY RUN 2+ MILLION CYCLES MINIMUM!!! and color coding on springs is never sure, you can buy 10 exactly the same barrels and wind up with 4 or even more different spring and buffer weight combos. I know a thing or 2, as I have over a decade in the biz and deal with Alan on an almost dailey basis and he's one incredibly sincere, humble, and honest man! He uploaded my "tuning video from war hammer armaments" focusing exactly on this topic because of all the people who call him every day and ask him what color/load rated spring to buy with this or that barrel...Etc, and he'll tell u the same.
