Yeah I use the magazine as my vertical, I don't do lasers and my scope has a zero magnification setting making it a red dot. I tend to adapt my tactics to the equipment and not the other way around.
Learned a lot in 25 minutes. Had a mostly similar setup, but gonna make some tweaks now. Jim thank you for your service and thank you for helping out us knuckleheads!
I have had this rifle for 2-years now with a little over a thousand rounds now. A simple Romeo/Juliet and a cheap Vortex Venom 1-6x24 from time-to-time have done just fine on it. The only internal change has been a Super 42 with its H2. Puts rounds where they are supposed to go every time, and no malfunctions yet. Built rock solid, people can say what they want about a $500 gun, but shoots the exact same as some big names on my range.
This is a good example to show legislators what a "silencer" or suppressor actually sounds like on an AR-15, not silent in the least. It is less ear piercing, slightly less deafening.
Like Jim's insights of how and the why he builds like he does. Liked his explanations about what he's incountered in the practical applications of each component. Enjoyed yall having him on to show and demonstrate for us.
Great video ! Loved how you guys picked Jim’s brain about what he would put on an AR style platform to make it “battle ready”. Jim, than you for your service !
You can tell he's an OG because of how he utilizes the foregrip. Gripping the whole thing vs how most folks nowadays use it like more of a handstop. Whatever works for you, more power to ya.
He is pretty short and I think he doesn’t have the reach for a good balanced grip around the handguard ”handstop” grip or whatever it’s called in english (not my main language)
You can just tell how professional Jim is. Quiet, composed, witty, and a true badass! I can tell he’s quite a leader and instructor. That man is more dangerous with a $300 rifle than I’d ever hope to be, even with a loaded out KAC! Awesome information and food for thought on setting up our rifles…
Kaya:' Longer on many other stuff'. Senior Chief: 'Yeah but skinnier'! Then the frontal look and a smile!!! A damn United States Navy Sailor! I am proud to have served the worlds finest service with you too senior chief!!!
@@greggbates7562 Roger that! I just went by what they said here on the channel on the time he spent and I assumed he's a Senior Chief. Yet, thank you for the correction.
Always great to listen to people who are masters of their craft speak on it. Something like sling placement in reference to magazine changes is something that would only be considered by someone with extensive combat experience. Something you'd only care about when you've had your life depend on it in real time. Dude is a surgeon explaining basic first aid in this video.
No thats a SOLID tactical rifle with solid tacics. Never been a foregrip guy, have several but they all came off after a while. BUT the muzzle2chin makes a whole lotta sense. Luv it thanx Chief!
I find it interesting he runs his sling connections on the same side of the rifle, I’ve always run the sling on the opposite side of my cheek weld, I’m a lefty so it’s backwards from most people.
I was always taught to touch my nose to the charging handle for cheek placement. That also allows for the scope to move forward on the rifle, leaving room for your iron sights. So I adjusted my butt based on where my nose comfortably touches the charging handle. No need for tape.
My favorite type of videos, What the Pros Use. As a Deputy Sheriff I qualified with a Colt M4, with an Eotec and iron sights.(when they took the Eotec’s off)
Found I over built. Trial and a lot of error. Each firearm finally has furniture for its intended job. All the furniture was nothing without range time for me. Much thanks for you guys time and instruction. Seventy threes.
i bought that rifle couple days ago for $379. very very happy and impressed with what i got. I like the B5 furniture as well and o didnt have to do anything tonthe rifle. Sig saur Romeo red dot, forgrip and she was running at the range, out the box.
i love the fact that you guys leave the malfunctions in your vids with the shooting parts a lot of You-tubers with firearm pages cut them out as they don't want to be seen with them. its important for people to see that there are issues even with fresh built guns that have to be worked out.
Guys pls learn personal spacing 😭 he’s visibly leaning away from Kaya the entire video. Uncomfortable to watch at times, but great value here all the same.
Might it be that after so many years in Seals he's not good and being 'too close', physically, to anyone? Perhaps he habitually leaves room as 'options'?
I don’t think they’re liberal beta boys. It’s a natural reaction to move if something is coming your way. How else do they imitate the cqb scenario?? Stop it…

“Budget friendly”. That made me chuckle. That LPVO is more than the rifle, let alone both optics. But I do like it. I only run a flashlight on my builds, as I don’t have a need for IR or a laser. I do really like the goon tape wrap idea for the wires. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that for mine. I snaked tiny zip ties all through my handguards to tuck the light and switch wires down.
to be fair you can get a cheaper lpvo and red dot and run a similar optic setup. about the only things you couldnt do more budget friendly are the suppressor and laser pack
Just bought this same rifle. Furniture is eotech 558 and flip over magnifier, bipod and sling. I have a foregrip but not putting it on just yet. No low light shooting for this piece so we’ll save some front end weight with no lights.
They must have installed an adjustable gas block with the suppressor because it's ejecting at 4 o'clock. Otherwise it would have been ejected way up at 1 o'clock after they added the suppressor. So the fault appears to be with with running the gas block in too low of a setting. Not the guns fault.
Instead of a earpro as a cheekweld aid, I use a small circular scotch felt pad because you can just stick it on to buttstock with no tape and the felt texture is easily detectable in low or no light condition.
Malfunction at 22:24? Can see what looks like part of the bcg stopping half way in the ejection port or is it just me ? Would have liked to have seen that and the cause stay in the video if so

So the fault appears to be with with running the gas block in too low of a setting. Not the guns fault. It also seems like they increased the gas a little bit during the shooting because the ejection pattern did shift slightly forward, but not enough I think.
The Seal cleared the weapon with his muscle memory. Slow it down and watch, yall handed it to him uncleared and his second nature was to talk and clear the weapon. What a man.Nice build, Great warrior, thanks for the life of service so my kids can have a country to live it.
Jam at 23:00... they must have installed an adjustable gas block with the suppressor because it's ejecting at 4 o'clock. Otherwise it would have been ejected way up at 1 o'clock after they added the suppressor. The fault appears to be with with running the gas block in too low of a setting. Not the guns fault. I also think they increased the gas a little bit in the shooting (cut) because the ejection patterns shifted slightly forward, but it was not quite enough.
I’m still team 45 offset red dot, but I get the appeal of top mount. To me, tilting my rifle feels more natural and less disruptive than lifting my head.
I`d be curious to know more about how Jim would typically zero and carry this type of dual sighting setup. Are both zeroed at 25 yards, or the optic @ 25 yards, scope @ 50 yards. Also at about what distance does he keep the scope set while moving about. Thinking with an optic on top, it doesn`t make sense to carry with the scope set to zero. I`m currently setting up a rifle similar to this, but haven`t figured out what will work most efficiently for me yet.
Great input from a pro! I personally love my mk18 but also love my 16'' ARs. Definitely is always interesting to see all the different ways people set up their rifles with their specific preferences.
All respect to Jim thank you for your service. I recently purchased a 2.5- 10x40 combo laser red- green all in one unit for my AR platform. Wondering if anyone has any valuable feedback on this set up. It feels a bit heavy but the weight distribution is on the receiver. Any feedback. I’m not an expert just learning from these videos
I would be interested in hearing from a more diversified group of Special Operators like Delta, Green Berets, Marine Raiders (MARSOC), Rangers, Air Force Special Warfare, even Coast Guard Special Operations besides just SEALs. Can we get some of those guys in future videos?
I totally agree. I respect seals but what I don't want the content to become as just another run as seal themed channel. I mean I know that there is a whole slew of special operators and seals aren't the only ones that exist with pro tips. I really would like to hear some diversified opinions.
Nice. Mine is a 14.5 bcm mcmr with a surefire warcomp. Bcm furniture, PA gen 4 nova, magpul afg, geiselle ssp flatbow, radian raptor charging handle, magpul afg, and a cloud defensive rein 3.0. Also magpul sling
If you read The Ranger's Apprentice than Mr. Jim Forman would be the modern Halt. I like how Mr. Foreman clears the weapon as a first thing, when he got it back. Safety first :-).
When Jim is shooting the rifle he's got the sling under his right arm and over the left shoulder. Is this new or just how he likes it? I'm all about running it how you like it, but I've never seen that done on purpose.
Cool setup, I liked the tape and the foregrip close enough. However, the LPVO, sitting far back, smells like trouble when you need to access it if a round jam. Sure, everyone has their own way of getting around things. Maybe setting a rifle in a way that is practical for anything and being able to access all necessary parts to avoid weird circumstances. That would work for me.
I would love to know what the reasoning is, behind the choice of optics. Eotech Vudu 1-10 -- I was looking at a Trijicon AccuPoint TR-26 2.5-12.5 for DMR distances (on a 308 build) and an...ACOG? for the 100 yard distances. Or should I stick with a red dot, and a 1-something for the LPVO?
I have an Lpvo but never thought of putting the red dot on top. My canted irons work well. Granted I do have to aline the sights with the top of the barrel I don’t mind it
Just for the record your average gun tuber gets more range time than a Navy SEAL. They spend most of their time on tactics, PT, and mission planning. I know they started shooting more but you would be surprised how little they actually shoot.
That's interesting because when Richard Marcinko started up Seal Team 6 their annual expenditure on ammunition was more than the entire marine corp for a year according to him. So it is surprising they have fallen off shooting that much.
Every 6 months I had to qualify in MOPP 4. Still managed to shoot Expert due to canting my head & keeping the sights level. I can attest to Jim's preference of not offsetting sighting systems.
I love the fact that every step of the way he made sure his weapon was going to be efficient in any circumstances. Not about the looks but about “getting the job done” when a threat is imminent !!!
My HD rifle has a mini 1.5x mini acog and a light. 11.5 barrel. My recce rifle. (By recce I mean shooting stuff at the range lol) has a 4x acog. 16inch barrel. Has ability to mount an rmr at 12oclock.
Well that got out of control fast! This was supposed to be a home defense buildout, not war. And no trigger or gas block upgrade? Those two alone drastically reduce your recoil which increases your shots on body. This build out is like buying a car and putting nitro on it but with stock brakes. You don’t need a scope, sling, or butt stock. Dot, light, gas block, and trigger are all the best upgrades for home defense.
Our first patrol rifles were Colts. They were only about 700 bucks at the time. An EoTech was 500 and a decent light was 300. Also never put a cheap optic on a rifle.
I run the same setup except I use a Grippod LE and a red dot with 5x magnifier. Then again, I’m not typically engaging combatants at 700 meters. I keep my shots to 400. 500+ is what the sniper is for. Save my ammo for things the sniper isn’t set up for
Why do nearly all of the popular/operator style lasers put the laser offcenter? Is it that difficult to put the laser in the middle right inline with the bore?

I like how Jim took the rifle from them and cleared it....lmao
Yeah that’s literally what i was focused on
And literally demonstrated a CqC head check lol
LOL I noticed that too.
I noticed that too.
good minds think alike
Jim was like “Get me the Fck outta here.” 😂
I like how they put $5000 of stuff on a $500 rifle. 😂😂😂
Kinda like fancy rims and a body kit on a 1998 Honda Civic 😂
Yeah I use the magazine as my vertical, I don't do lasers and my scope has a zero magnification setting making it a red dot. I tend to adapt my tactics to the equipment and not the other way around.
What make a great rifle is a BCG and the Barrel the rest is cosmetics that's if you know anything about rifle .
10 of the rifles for the attachments they put on it lol
One of my best builds is like that. BCM, FN, Geissele parts on PSA recievers. Some things are totally fine to keep mil spec and be reliable af.
Anyone in the military hopefully noticed that he was the only one to lock the bolt back and clear it as soon as it touched his hands creature of habit
You’re gay dude
Anyone trained period
Learned a lot in 25 minutes. Had a mostly similar setup, but gonna make some tweaks now. Jim thank you for your service and thank you for helping out us knuckleheads!
The b5 bravo is the smaller one without the tubes. The bigger one is just the B5 enhanced sopmod. If you're looking for it online.
Correct glad someone else sees that
Literally came to the comments to see if anyone else caught that lol.
Thank you Sir
Thank you!
I went to bravo to see this stock had a cheaper version long time ago makes a lot of sense will be buying that stock yes the sopmod one
We've got some round in there obviously...Jim casually clears the gun.

Not Kaya forgetting to clear the rifle... Commander took it and did it for him 😂 keep up the great work fellas

Range safety, noticed this as well. Looks like he ejected a round after removing the clip.
@@dewaynejones1306 Magazine, clips are for chips!

This is a good example to show legislators what a "silencer" or suppressor actually sounds like on an AR-15, not silent in the least. It is less ear piercing, slightly less deafening.

O🎉😂🎉🎉o😅🎉 😢
That set up was for flash more than silence. Good catch though definitely not a silent weapon..
Depends on the suppressor

Experience ≠ credibility. To illustrate my point, how many twenty year politicians do you trust to be honest with you?

This was the best set-up options and philosophy video I have seen on an AR-15. Great work, great guest, smart info. NICE!!!
23:40 shows how of a pro Jim is, quick to clear it before getting comfortable in the middle
Yep. Only one to make sure one isn’t chambered
Or maybe it shows how much of a control freak he is, he obviously meant to keep the rifle loaded until Jim just took it from him.
Hey i give it to you boys for not questioning this seal😂. We can see it in your faces😂.
See at the end Jim cleared the weapon and the other 2 passed it around live with the safety on....pay attention to what the professional does.
No thats a SOLID tactical rifle with solid tacics. Never been a foregrip guy, have several but they all came off after a while. BUT the muzzle2chin makes a whole lotta sense. Luv it thanx Chief!
Another reason for a foregrip is because those handguards can get very hot once you start getting into the gun.
I find it interesting he runs his sling connections on the same side of the rifle, I’ve always run the sling on the opposite side of my cheek weld, I’m a lefty so it’s backwards from most people.

Thank you Jim for clearing that weapon. Very nice set up from one service member to another nice set up I’m still learning new tactics.
Found I over built. Trial and a lot of error. Each firearm finally has furniture for its intended job. All the furniture was nothing without range time for me. Much thanks for you guys time and instruction. Seventy threes.
I could tell the seal wanted to grab the gun and make sure it was unloaded asap after the last guy shot it and didn't check it.
The look he gave em too 😂🤣

My buddy is a SEAL and I've worked with several throughout the years. I swear these dudes speak in PowerPoint.
20 years leading Seal Team 6 = BEAST

Buy some cameras and employ a cameraman. The close elbow to elbow stuff is very uncomfortable to watch for us empaths.

That's my grip, too. 32 years military. My son in military adopted the new grip. That's okay... whatever works for you
@22:24 that quick cut after the malfunction 🤣
They must have installed an adjustable gas block with the suppressor because it's ejecting at 4 o'clock. Otherwise it would have been ejected way up at 1 o'clock after they added the suppressor.
So the fault appears to be with with running the gas block in too low of a setting. Not the guns fault.
Instead of a earpro as a cheekweld aid, I use a small circular scotch felt pad because you can just stick it on to buttstock with no tape and the felt texture is easily detectable in low or no light condition.
Love the build and that’s a sweet gun. Would you please put in the description for all the items you use to build the gun.
I second that
Thank you for your service!!
Surprised me they didn't address a trigger upgrade. I'd expect the gun has stock mil parts. Timney or Geissle?
Thanks Senior Chief and thanks guys!
Bravo stock is the one without batteries I thought? Sopmod had battery tubes?
Correct!
Good info and the WHY. Thank you Sir
optics cost more than my entire build. Jim's info is better than 20 videos. Learned a lot.
That’s usually the case. Most recommend not overspending on a rifle and sinking money into good optics.
Malfunction at 22:24? Can see what looks like part of the bcg stopping half way in the ejection port or is it just me ? Would have liked to have seen that and the cause stay in the video if so

Nice skull session, thanks Jim for sharing your experience.
That mid mount for the sling also gives better clearance for transitions if youre a bit wider and/or around gear
I like the practical approach from the former seal

Same, Radical basic bare bones. Unless your going to run 1000 rounds in a day, it works very well. Radical is under rated

Every 6 months I had to qualify in MOPP 4. Still managed to shoot Expert due to canting my head & keeping the sights level. I can attest to Jim's preference of not offsetting sighting systems.
I love the fact that every step of the way he made sure his weapon was going to be efficient in any circumstances. Not about the looks but about “getting the job done” when a threat is imminent !!!
My HD rifle has a mini 1.5x mini acog and a light. 11.5 barrel.
My recce rifle. (By recce I mean shooting stuff at the range lol) has a 4x acog. 16inch barrel. Has ability to mount an rmr at 12oclock.
Skipped right over the radical jamming
And that's why I run an AK.
You didn’t watch the whole video lol
I have one with a Radical upper and have had many more malfunctions than other guns. Something going on with the gas system.
Well that got out of control fast! This was supposed to be a home defense buildout, not war.
And no trigger or gas block upgrade? Those two alone drastically reduce your recoil which increases your shots on body.
This build out is like buying a car and putting nitro on it but with stock brakes.
You don’t need a scope, sling, or butt stock.
Dot, light, gas block, and trigger are all the best upgrades for home defense.
The B5 Bravo is the skinner stock not the one they put on.
Our first patrol rifles were Colts. They were only about 700 bucks at the time. An EoTech was 500 and a decent light was 300. Also never put a cheap optic on a rifle.
Good thing nowadays you can get a better rifle for 7, a really really good dot for 2-3 and a streamlight 100 bucks.
I run the same setup except I use a Grippod LE and a red dot with 5x magnifier.
Then again, I’m not typically engaging combatants at 700 meters. I keep my shots to 400. 500+ is what the sniper is for. Save my ammo for things the sniper isn’t set up for
I wish on your website you had a link for accessories used for different videos on UA-cam, which doesn't allow you to post the links directly.
This might be the best video you guys done in awhile
12:23 Hey hey HEY! We got KIDS watching this show!!!
😂😂😂
I'm a cold war and gulf war vet. This is some good equipment
Why do nearly all of the popular/operator style lasers put the laser offcenter?
Is it that difficult to put the laser in the middle right inline with the bore?
I'd like to know what cal. Jim would prefer to take into combat...since ar15 s are now unlimited..
Thanks Jim
Leave it to Mr Foreman to ensure the rifle was clear before chatting 😂 thank you for your service sir.
Shawn Ryan had a rifle video from years ago and spoke about the ear pro on the stock
As a way to learn where exactly to rest your head. Like a kisser on a bow.
