lol i remember watching these videos back in the earliest days of UA-cam. where i first saw Travis Haley. didn't even know who he was.
Mechanic Same took me a long time to figure out.
It's always interesting to look back
It is. I had no idea it was Travis. After listening to that footage with quality headphones on if your ears can take it, There’s a round that sounds like counter sniper that could have been anyone of those guys including Travis. I believe it is at the 6:14-6:15 mark. I’m no expert sounds big heavy. 7.62x54 possibly, I’m no expert.
The m16 with a full stock and guns like it (mk12, sdmr, sam-r) are the best looking ar15s ever, not to mention the softest shooting. Got me a mk12 from bcm. That print is amazing too!
Bring Mookie on your channel and have a chat! would love to see that!
YES!!!!!
Travis,
Thank you for sharing this very personal story. I've struggled with issues for a long time due to things that happened to me and my team in Iraq in the 2 years I spent there. I know its not easy to share these things especially on the Internet but thank you for sharing them in particular this story. You guys did an outstanding job that day based on the video that I saw and you saved lives. Thank you for what you do and for making great gear. On a side note, I run a D3 chest rig on a Mayflower plate carrier in my current job as a city police officer in Southern California and that set up is awesome! Thank you again for what you do. God Bless you and your family.

Thanks brother! Stay sharp and be safe
For years now, I keep coming back to Travis Haley's videos as a source of inspiration and insight. I respect his passion and reflective nature. Keep the videos rolling
Mookie calling out targets, awesome
Never realized that was Mookie. Why doesn't Yeager, Mookie, and Haley ever do a video together?
I have a feeling Haley really doesn't want to associate with Yeager lol
@@McMeatBag why? (I have no clue who that is)
@@tobiasreaper3650 James Yeager. He has a reputation for doing stupid, unsafe stuff (like having a photographer downrange while students are shooting targets).
Also, his one combat experience was as a contractor in the middle east. His convoy got ambushed and he couldn't take his car out of park, which stranded them all in the killzone. Then he jumped out of it and into a ditch while the rest of his team was getting shot up and fighting the bad guys.
@@McMeatBag I looked him up right after making the comment. The moment I saw him, I knew he was fake, he also seems like a complete tool. Didn't know his one combat experience was spent cowering in a ditch, the least you could do is radio in the situation and help your teammates find better cover. It's nice to know that someone like him got to do a job I'm trying to get into, but have to do it the hard and uncertain way because the military turned me down over simply having ADHD (I have experience in a different type of security which really helps, but isn't a golden ticket).
I just gotta say thank you to you and all of those who risked it all. You all are truly a blessing to America.
Youre a hell of a human being Mr. Haley! Thank you so much for your service!
Those are bad ass specs and a killer scope. Thanks Travis for your service and Semper Fi. 🤘👍
Just finished building and sighting my first gun... first bought and built... I based it off this rifle but slightly modernized ... thank you sir u have helped fulfill my life long dream
Full of so much wisdom love the videos of travis just talking about his life.
awesome. Travis Haley is such an amazing man to look up to.
Great post
Can not wait to get my hands on one.
Side note: how come we never see Mookie as a guest on your channel ?
I respect Travis for not getting all politically correct about or distancing himself from his comments in the heat of battle. There are a lot of wrongheaded ninnies out there who would find the turkey shoot comment offensive, but Travis's actions were honorable and he did nothing wrong to apologize for. He's really "keeping it real" with that footage and his comments about the battle.
i am iranian and the original video of firefight inspired me! i like you so much i have done like 4 topic's about you in persian major military websites and now is the time to introduce your rifle to ppl!!
Travis, you are an inspiration to us all.
That gun looks heavy as fuck
I remember that day, I was in Hilla expecting the same to happen there but never materialized. Stay safe out thee Travis.
I remember when I first saw the rooftop video Travis in the beginning days of UA-cam before I even knew who you were. Man how we've all changed, its a crazy world out there. But a beautiful one at that
Totally committed professional,warriors are born!
He definitely got some killin’ done that day
How do you feel about the 5.56? I've read about the new 77gr and how amazing it is. Especially being shot out of SBR's. Thank you for you and your family's service and the sacrifices you all have made. God bless.
thanks for sharing, great work in saving lives.
When is this going to be turned into a movie?? I would go see it for sure.
Go get our boys Travis.
Mookie in the background!
Thank you for your service .
I see 30 people accidently pressed the thumbs down while trying to press thumbs up.
Amazing. Thanks for sharing!
mooookieee!
Damn I want that rail system. That rifle is amazing
Great video Travis
I wonder what Travis would use now if he had the fore site of this video back then .. I not having any combat experience , closest I got was pulling security in high risk drug areas lol . I can only guess as to what I would want and I’m that these guys had no clue if they were gonna have a long distance shootout or maybe some CQC ..
Looking at it in the homesite . I think I’d have wanted something in a semi auto loader as he has with maybe a 308 win. And good glass to go with it. Maybe Night force. I like the M14 on the newer modular chassis that they are using. I don’t remember the company but it looks intimidating. Maybe those big rounds were too big and bulky. Maybe a 6.8 spc. Would have done the trick.
One thing I’m surprised about is nobody had any mortar coming in or going out. At least it looks that way. Also very little to non existent air support.
Good job
Mookie!!!!
i want that handguard so bad but theyre discontinued and impossible to find.
I'm glad you speak the truth Haley. I'm so sick of these weak ass people trying to tell me I must have a 9 or 12 inch barrel just because anything else is too heavy for them...
lmao tell them to research terminal ballistics. I'd much rather be shot by a 556 round out of a 9 inch barrel than a 20....velocity kills when it comes to 556
I have a 16, 20, and 10.3 inch SBR. With that said, the "Mk18" (10") is much easier to maneuver in tight spaces, lighter of course, and has enough energy at "eye color distance" to stop a threat. However, like 5.56 or 5.45 said, I'd much rather take a round from an SBR! High velocity rounds are nasty! I'd grab the 20" if shtf.
aint nothin like that good ol 20in barrel, rifle gas, and a2 fixed stock. it just feels right! and you can make it happen with that setup. dammit i want another one!
if i could only have one i think itd be bertha. that 20in is just right!
Hey Travis, I've been a fan of yours since 2011. I don't live in the United States, so I can't attend one of your courses, do you have any in-depth CD's or extended training videos? I'd love to buy some, also, you should allow foreign LEOs to train with you - I know a bunch of active duty soldiers and cops who'd pay a fortune to attend one of your courses. Semper and continue what you're doing ;).
i would watch a movie based on your story like the 13 hours one that was SWEET i read the book and they did alright considering hollywoods nack for screwing stories up. this is just a thought but their is some real potential here. anyway thank you for your service hope to be a badass like you some day that is a Marine.
What's the name of the movie?
Any sweet new kit coming out soon? Semper
Lots of new products coming! Stay tuned
I can't help but notice the hearing protection in the original video clips, have you ever considered a video about using hearing protection in an emergency situation? Obviously something like a CCW citizen, will not take time to put ear plugs in before shooting someone trying to carjack them with a weapon, but more so from a law enforcement, military perspective. In a firefight, active shooter, or some other situation along those lines. Plugs and muffs vs electronic hearing protection and what not. I just thought that may be an interesting topic.
We're all grunts here
Man I'd love to train with you guys
Pure excellence
Now look at the leadership we have in the military today, sure ain't the fortitude of these guys.
Was that james yaeger on the far left?
i have a 308 ar and i think i want that scope setup. 16in barrel. i love that 20in rifle setup as well but times and tactics have changed and i know i dont run my 5.56 rifle like that anymore. ill always love a 20in barrel and a2 stocked rifle. probably my favorite overall. i got rid of mine in favor of a colt 6920 which is great also but ive got irons on it and an aimpoint pro because i know i dont want to try to make it do as much distance as i could with a 20in barreled rifle. my other setup is another 16in carbine gas rifle, free floated with a bcm kmr, magpul acs stock, troy irons...i debate on scoping that one and putting my other aimpoint pro on the 308 ar. options, damn! my 308 ar is a bit of a pig though. i think i need to take the troy quad off of it and get one of these lighter midwest industries rails, but the troy rail is solid and hasnt failed me so maybe i should deal with the weight. i dont know.
great video.
Is that mookie on the callouts?
Yes
Kaaaaaaa Kawwwwwww!!!
Quick question Travis, but what height are the scope rings? They look like High rings... but I can't find any clear hi-res pics of the rifle to check myself...
I watch your video right before weapons quals.
i never knew that was mookie in the back ground
هههه اني من النجف Im froom najaf
Your a damn Patriot Travis
This dude has a weird air around him. He seems like he's staring right through you. I've always heard about the 1,000 Yard Stare. This guy definitely has it.
Travis is a realist and has seen alot more than the average person has seen. If he is staring through you or anyone else, than so be it. Listen to his messages and guidance. He has a plethora of excellent advice.
If I buy this rifle, does it come with Ben Thomas spotting for me as well?
They were taking cover.
do more of this vids please
So this rifle is sorta like a MK 12 with a better rail system of the time with a standard M16 flash hider
Is that the exact rifle that was used or has another one been built to replicate the original? Just curious by the way.
exact rifle
Travis, why did you not run a .308 that day since it seemed you were squeezing off a lot of longer shots?
Would have loved to but this was given to me.
An accurized .223 can reach out pretty far, of course 308 will go farther and hit harder but the 223 is lighter, not to mention much more common in the force
How much imput did you have in the design in this rifle? i.e is this the way that you would set up a DMR now or is this was the specs of the rifle that you had at the time?
none. it was just handed to him and he fought with it...that's what a gun fighter does.
Wish Trav would step out of the business realm time to time and comment on training tactics civy's could use against terror attacks. In less I missed it what ever happened to the cop at the door? Not sure how that played out.
+JimmyGunXD556 lmao why does it have to be a class about terrorism...If you're so squared away you should know that whether it's working around vehicles working inside structures or delusional civilian counter terrorism type stuff lmao it all boils down to being able to implement the fundamentals effortlessly and get fast accurate hits on target....A good student can glean soooo much info from one of haley's classes that it doesn't matter what the topic or title of the class is...you take the good shit you learn and apply it wherever it's applicable....go take a class son before I take off my belt
+5.56 Or 5.45? I was merely making a statement in which I would like to see information on by Trav. I know how to handle a firearm in a competitive arena. I would like to know what insight Trav had on laws, responsibilities and liabilities shooting in a crowded area since Orlando.
There's a Congressman running around, talking about gun control. He has some award related to a long battle in Najaf. Was this the same event? Do you recognize him? What are your thoughts on his opinion?
A name would help
Sorry, figured you may have seen his post shared. Seth Moulton. facebook.com/RepMoulton/posts/983041075127968
I'm sorry that I'm confused but what battle are you talking about?
The Battle of Najaf.
+bravofighter thanks
It's Leupold, not Leopold! Think Lewis.
This sounds like mookie spotting
Shitty day, for sure. Off topic, what shirt are you wearing Travis?
That was one of our Limited Edition T's Called Trailblazer if you send an email to customerservice@haleystrategic.com
I like it. Do you still feel a desire to go back? Considering the recent Orlando attack and the situation in the Middle East as well as the POTUS failing to identify the correct enemy.
I don't subscribe to the idea that Orlando was Obama's doing if that is what you mean. What I meant by 'failing to identify the correct enemy' was that Obama doesn't realize that Islam is a threat to Western society and ideals.
+Mathias Laakkonen he does too realize it obama is the enemy why else would he defend them like he does
***** The part about governments pushing anti-gun agenda after events like these are absolutely correct. After the Paris terrorist attack the EU parliament pushed a huge bill banning guns for good in all of Europe.
right on, well said...
Obama is not a muslim i believe the guy just looks at people as people and doesnt group a large group together and aay they all want to end the west lol
🔥🇺🇸😎
Make some goddamn videos Travis.
he needs some lotion
I am sure if he did he would know his wife is a Dermatologist MD! now run along.
LMFAO so is Travis's Wife
Great stuff!
