- The GPR is what you make it and should be built for your environment. Maybe you want a longer barrel, maybe you want a larger caliber, but this is my build and why.
Hope there was enough of that door shot for y’all. Remember only CQB is cool 😂

That little rabbit at 11:35 gave no Fs
12.5” for general purpose, agree. A part i disagree is when you said you were gonna use a 13.9” to “reach out a little farther”, my brother in Christ just use a 16”. Better fps. Run a stock, no pin and weld. If you really want to pin and weld, go with the 14.5”. Better fps, same pin and weld.
No. How about that?
@@Mtn_Marty your feelings on the 13.9” don’t outweigh the facts that a 14.5” or 16” is better. Clint Smith would say pick one or the other, stop dicking around in the middle.
Your chest rig is also ass. hOw BoUt ThAt?
😂
Lol..
@@Mtn_Marty 12.5 is perfection imho.
I like your paint job very nice. Tactical Hive Guy's "Coch" did a barrel length velocity test , it's amazing how 1" can increase the terminal velocity too fragmentation . As a GPR you have to include out to 300 in that figure, too get that you'll have to start with 3000 fps min. base line. I don't know what length under 16" can do that, maybe a 13.7 or 14.5 can, I don't know. I do know that from 10.5" to 12.5" doesn't have terminal velocity at that distance, that's not too say they can't reach ,but not with terminal velocity, so they aren't considered GPR's . All of the shorter rifles were developed for CQC or CQB in Afghanistan for closer range (in building's, huts etc.) work, for that they are perfect out to 100yrds . That's why the 300 blk-out was developed as a quieter more leathle round under 100 . It's not relying on fragmentation, the 7.62 with less velocity creates a bigger permanent wound cavitation = BIG HOLE ! So the 300blk made all the MK-18 (10.5") MK-111(11.5") types less desirable, because the 300 very short suppressed is so much quieter for CQB. Also remember fragmentation has two purpose's more damage and less over penetration, you need 2600 fps min. to frag, which gets you back to the 16" barrel for 3050 +/- velocity with M193 55gr. That's why they switched to M855 62gr.more effective out to 300yrds.with SBR's . Just say'n, I like that paint job 👍 😎 THANK YOU for sharing.
I love my 13.7 pin and weld. Compact enough for inside work and more than viable for longer than cqb ranges. Put together a 13.5 AR10 just for giggles also and can't wait for the snow to clear to see if I can make it do 500yds.
That is a slick setup!! Love the paint job, and a freaking hose clamp is genius man!
Thanks man. I dig it b
I just got an Aero Precision 10.5 and I will get an Aero lower. Like your setup. Thanks for shearing 👍🏼
Great guns.
Awesome build. My GPR is my 14.5 DD upper w/ spikes lower.
Aero has an awesome sale going right now. If you buy any upper you get a free BCG and charging handle with free shipping. I picked up a 13.9 for $492 shipped
16 inch is imo the perfect barrel for a general purpose rifle build. I’ve seen videos of marines clearing buildings with a 20 inch A2 with that long ass fixed stock no problem. A 16 inch barrel and an adjustable stock will give you alot less length to maneuver in CQB situations. And the 16 inch will also give you the length and velocity to hit targets 500 yards out no problem. So with the 16 inch barrel you can do pretty much everything fairly easily but at the end of the day it comes down to training. Give a newbie a 12.5 barrel CQB build and have someone who’s been training a-lot with a 20 inch A2 clone and then dude with the A2 will crush the newbie with a 12.5 because he put the time in to train.
nice set up and thoughts, I went with a 14.5" p/w for my GPR set up
Nice build. Personally I like the BA 13.9 Hansen barrels with a P&W muzzle device (they come with a pinned gas block and on sale are really inexpensive). Still pretty short but great velocity and a very soft shooting barrel that makes accurate follow-up shots a breeze.
nice vid and sweet set up! personally have a 16 incher cause i cant be bothered to go through nfa shenanigans and i like my stocks. also epic bunny spotting at 11:49
Totally acceptable and honestly I tell my wife a 4in difference isn’t THAT much all the time. The Bunny works for the channel.
Good stuff, hell of a rig. I do like the route you're goin with it, I'm actually runnin a sons of liberty 13.7 pinned, runnin a dead sir sand man s, the little bit of extra barrel length makes a pretty big difference and still a very handy rifle with good ballistics and velocity.
Sounds like a great set up!
Nice drills, Primary Arms has good deals on Aero Precision uppers if you add veteran discount
08:25 hand on that muzzle brings out my Marine Corps weapons instructor vibe filling my lungs to capacity ready to pounce on a recruit for violating two of the rules of weapons handling... 😂As YTer and 2A personality you gotta remember to stay solid on these things. Thanks for the vid.
Sometimes I like to look directly down the barrel to see if it’s loaded. Is that bad?
Currently don't have 12.5 but I really want one. I agree a 12.5 is a great choice for a general purpose rifle. There is a study out there with sensors per every inch of barrel and it showed some solid data. Velocity readings from 12.5-14.5 were pretty much the same and only really increased when nearing 16". Oh and 10.3 makes little sense when you see that you get a massive FPS jump by just adding a single inch and again even more so when adding another inch (12.5). Funny enough I own a 10.5 gun.
My other favorite option is actually a 16" barrel. yeah it's getting a little longer but it's still able to do CQB relatively well and has a very good velocity increase and with modern day propellant mixtures is around 150 fps off a 20" barrel in many 55grain loadings.
I like the 13.9 because with a can it isn't too long. The 12.5 is a PIA to suppress and you really need to tune your gun to get it running right.
Dope set up
Thank you!
Pretty solid build man. Love the setup also.
Thank you sir. She’s since had a major overhaul. More on that soon. #modernmusket
@Marty I just finished my 12.5 build. Kind of similar to yours. Can't wait to see what changes you made.
Great set up! I love Aero.... I’ve done over 20 builds using their products. Great video. Keep going. Just sub’d.
Love me some Aero too
Yeah I gotta agree. I've built several from aero and have been pleasantly pleased with them.
I have a few Criterion Core barrels I will say you will not regret it. Great shooting barrels I do have their 12.5” and 13.9” and they both get sub moa with 77 gr IMI Razor core
Stoked to get this set up. Working on it now actually.
@@Mtn_Marty if you want a bomb proof set up look into Ripcord Inds. Gas Hole gas block. They can be a PIA to install but well worth what you get….. Super Tight but you will get no gas leakage past gas block and if you use locktite or Rocksett to your screws it will not ever move
Subbed when I seen the Goon tape🤙
hi i was recommended this video to me by youtube
your narration is pretty cool, i watched your video from beginning to end.
my GPR is super chunky (almost 10.5lbs loaded with all attachments) so now I'm looking for diet accessories for it. 16" barrel with LPVO and light. i really don't fancy having a 5.56mm carbine heavier than grampaw's M1 Garand.
also some kind of jackrabbit or another one of god's creatures was hanging around at 10:55 lol
So @arisakadefense lights are lightweight. What kind of lpvo are you running? Maybe sell it and scoop up a lighter one like the new 1x8 from @primaryarms. It’s compact and light.
My is a 12.5 308. I need a light put on a 1-6 lpvo. All Aero. Milspec trigger. I like the color on your Rifle. Back up is a 14.5 M4.
If you sign up for Aero’s mailing list, you’ll get an additional 10% off!😂
Gonna be moving out of CA to a freer state. First thing I'm doing is a basic Aero M4E1 build in FDE.
Hope you escape in time. Looks like things are getting rough in that state. Pretty sure there's an 'underground railroad' near wine country, should you need it...
We managed to escape CA back in 2014. Good luck.
I have the 12.5 pinned. Lighter bullets for higher velocity work well. Feel I am wasting powder on heavy 308 bullets. Found 125 grain work well. I got the heavy cmmg barrel for tree stand hunting. But gonna go out coyote hunting some time with it. I may go sbr or suppressor with it. It's loud a.f. now.
So you’ve got an AR10 then. Awesome man.
I have a 12.5” Aero M4 and a 16” Aero M5 and they’re my two go-to setups. Next i want to grab Aeros M16A4 clone
That’s a solid set up. Love me some aero.
You are going to be VERY impressed with Criterion barrels. I used one for my last build and it is the most accurate barrel out of all my rifles which include Noveske and Daniel Defense.
You are right. I am very impressed.
@@Mtn_Marty Cool. Have you shot for groups just to see what it can do?
@@jonnyt16 yup! Thing is incredibly accurate. I have a video on it.
Subbed off of this video-- very cool set up on that GP rifle. I'm still building mine, slowly... I *would* also be interested in a 'battle belt' video, since yours looks pretty cool, and I've started thinking about building one has well. I'm not trying to build it on the cheap, however, anything that's 'not too expensive' is always appreciated
Hey brother, the battle belt video is up!
@@Mtn_Marty Very cool-- I'll "tune in" now...
😎👍
"I've got a pistol brace on there"
ATF: we're on our way
My dog dislikes this comment
@@Mtn_Marty haha
@@Mtn_Marty good dog
@@Mtn_Marty Hope he's trained to operate a slide and charging handle in SPITE of having no opposable thumbs. Mine is... Had to use extra treats in the training process, but it worked
Thanks for sharing, have details on the chest rig you have on?
Very beautifull
Great rifle set up and review. This upper was my first build and I made the right choice for my needs and wants. Could you please do a tutorial on how you painted this rifle? I’ve wanted to paint mine but I haven’t found one that I like until I saw this video.
I totally can. Rattle can the world.
I agree-- the pattern you chose is a cool one. But more importantly, it seems to work well with your environment
You said if you’re going to be doing some recon. Are you military or law enforcement?
11:50 target spotted
This gun is very cool!!!
I'd love to shoot a gun in Japan, since I'm not allowed to hold or fire one!!
That is super lame. Come to America and experience it for yourself.
@@Mtn_Marty I can't wait to save up the money to go to the States!!!
I run a 16 inch gun. That way no worries about rule changes that aren't legal anyway. LOL
It's a mid length gas BA 4150 V that is cold hammer forged and coated. I run a decent coated BCG, and trying to get an A5 buffer system on the way for an upgrade. Oh, my upper, lower, and 15 inch handguard are all Cerecoated in FDE, for cool points.
I run an FDE ROMEO 5 XDR red dot, and a matching Juliet 4 magnifier. Both are at 1.63 mount. Oh, and MBUS of course.
My sling is an FDE Vickers, by Blue Force Gear, and is attached by QD.
Simple I guess. It all works well, and never hiccups. It has eaten anything I feed it, but I settled for ONLY using PMC X-TAC M193.
I have kept it simple, and mid-grade. LOL
Sounds like a solid rifle
@@Mtn_Marty Thanks. I looked at yours for a bit to see if I could get any ideas for my next build. I have everyone of the small parts. I do mean everything. I just ordered an Aero M4E1 assembled upper receiver, and looking to get an empty matching lower, both in FDE. Then use my spare barrel and bolt carrier group. LOL I liked the info you gave us. Thanks again.
Like bear independent says “avoid cqb like the plague”
Amen
Hose clamp throw lever is reminiscent of early GWOT lol
Out pf a 12.5" barrel, even M855 is going faster than 2800 fos.
Pretty sure that M193 55 grain is pushing 2900 fps
Love the set up, how did you put three mags in the hills people chest rig
I threw a hook and loop 3 mag insert into the back and have a little bungee wrapped around the back to keep the zippers together.
Awesome thanks for the tip
Upvoted because of the content.
Subscribed because of the rabbit.
He was a paid actor.
would a 12 inch barrel be an SBR? Whats the shortest my rifle length can be
ATF has entered the chat
Like it
bro that hare behind you lmao

Seen a rabbit coming down the hill at 11"35 !🤣😂
That rabbit is carrying my entire channel
Anybody else seen that rabbit? 🕵🏾♂️

My only complaint with Aero/Ballistic Advantage modern series 11.5 barrels are over gassed.
I wouldn't know on that.
I have one and the gas port is .073 and my Hanson series is .070
Which Hill People Gear chest rig is that??
Original kit bag, full
Myself, I wouldn't put an LVPO on a GP rifle. I'd put a red dot and a 3 x magnifier on it. Now, on a Recce style rifle, definitely an LVPO with a piggy back or 45* red dot for up close and personal.
I actually stated that exact caveat in the video. A GP should be set up to cover most of your assumed mission set. Because there’s so much wide open space where I’m at I like some magnification. However I also have a rifle set up with a 3x mag. But honestly, great point man.
@@Mtn_Marty obviously I didn't watch the whole thing. Apologies
@@ronin2167 all good my man. Like I said it’s a valid point. Just got to set things up for you. So many people get wrapped up in what the latest influencer does when in fact they should look around their AO and make informed decisions for their kit.
Is that filmed at Pawnee?
No
Tell us about your hill people gear chest rig
It’s one of their kit bags. The larger one. I threw a hook and loop 3 mag insert into the back and have a kettle bungee wrapped around the back to keep the zippers together.
Could you put together a list or or downloadable pdf of all parts purchased for this particular build? I would like to build the same AR.
Sure thing! Copy and paste these links and it will get you completely set up. I do get a small kick back from these and that helps me continue the channel. 12.5" Aero Upper - alnk.to/b7vmEGA , Lower - alnk.to/4My5lkS , Lower Parts kit - alnk.to/aLFQH5j , Trigger - alnk.to/b7vmENM , Scope - alnk.to/7X1J08K
@@Mtn_Marty hey could you do a AK tactical build or a AR in 7.62x39 short battle like 12.5 to 14inch barrel close quarters setup
@@cottojn you could however my understanding is that 7.62x39 gets super slow in barrels under 16” but I’m no AK expert. If you really want smacking power with a short barrel get a 300 black out upper.
@@Mtn_Marty copy
Hi Jose, I have experience with AKs in 7.62 and with shorter barrels. A couple of points.
First, loss of bullet velocity due to barrel shortening is less with a 30cal bore than a 5.56 because of the additional volume. Expect 123grain steel ammo to still get over 2000 fps out of a 10.5” barrel.
Second, loss of velocity isn’t the same problem with 7.62x39 that it is with 5.56. The latter relies on its speed to create fragmentation and wound channels. The former relies on being a big piece of metal. The previously mentioned 123grain bullet is over twice the mass of 55grain M193 5.56.
Third, the primary advantage of 300blk over 7.62 in my opinion is plentiful subsonics. Subsonic 7.62 exists but is temperamental and it can be difficult to get reliable function since the AK platform is harder to tune. 300blk also offers a common manual of arms to 5.56 ARs, which is a big deal.
Having said that, there is no reason to not have a 10.5 or similarly short AK pattern gun that shoots 7.62. They are fun, easy to handle, relatively inexpensive, and effective. I have used a 10.5 shooting hollow point 7.62 to humanely drop large hogs. I have yet to have to track one down after impact.
I hope this helps.
How's that chest rig?
It’s great. I can set it up for hiking, hunting, or tactical. @hillpeoplegear makes great stuff.
Irons?
Where we are going we don’t need irons. JK. Back ups weren’t on it for this vid but are now. Just standard magpul backups, nothing special.
Don’t think self defense = general purpose. But….nice setup
Tons of post online about Aero bolts breaking prematurely. Id go with BCM bolt, but the Aero upper itself is pretty good. Though imo Aero doesnt hold a candle to DD, BCM, FN, Colt, or LMT. If i were to only have 1, it would certainly NOT be Aero.
Well, we are at about 7k rounds on this setup with literally no problems ever. I've never heard of Aero bolts breaking any sooner than other brands but the internet is a large place filled with experts...who knows! Probably a good idea to have extra BCGs on hand regardless of the brand of rifle you are running. Also, were you aware that almost ALL brands use tool craft BCGs and just rebrand them?
Sad, Aero Precision will be out of business in about 2hrs..
That aged like milk. But I am glad they are still in business.
Looks like an AR PISTOL. You keep referring to it as an “assault Rifle”. If you’re confused about the difference you cannot argue what the atf says.
12.5 way too short it's a neutered rifle. May as well buy a 6 inch 357 mag
Bro... Its a Pistol...Alphabet boys are watching... Great set up.
Thanks but “that’s why no one will remember your name”
