In the army I never questioned about the grains in our rounds because we got what we were given. Now in my AR I have a 1:8 twist and have been using 55 grain rounds. Your video made me do research and realize that heavier rounds will be so much better
TacticalHeathen556 But like you said though shoot with multiple grains so you know how they react in your weapon. In an 5.56 with a 14.5 inch barrel and a 7 twist I shoot everything from a 55 to 77 grain round.
@@ciri1993 and with some marksmanship training you can get good hits on the E target out to about 600 meters with as issued Matech or BDC detachable carry handle sight shooting Mk262. An ACOG will permit good results at 600 too when operator is cognizant of need for a consistent eyeball to eyepiece relationship, In other words, in prevailing wind with correct favor, you could realize about 2MOA at 600 meters from an M4 shooting the 77. Also, the 77 takes a wind constant of 10 at 600 which makes calculation of MOA wind formula really easy: for example a full value 10 mph crosswind at 600 meter target distance, 600 divided by 100 times 10 divided by constant equals 6 MOA sight adjustment or 18 inches of favor. The bottom line is just shoot 77's.
Yup. I have a 1in7 14.5" BCM and it loves the heavier rounds. I find the 62 grain to be the same cost as the 55 grain so I've always just gotten 62.
My 11.5 faxon 1/8 twist loves 55 grain and 69 grain
@@charlesludwig9173 What grain weight should I use for a 1:8 twist 16'' chambered in 5.56/223?
I'm such a Fieldcraft fanboy. Thanks for the good info and podcasts.
I just discovered the podcast and I’m digging the dog poop out of it
I watched this and Ronin Tactics version of this, its crazy how similar they are to each other.
Jdobworth ? Proof that form follows function.
They are both SF guys I believe from the same Unit.
Both Green Berets so it would make since that they would be similar.
@@markherbert530 Are both of them CIF too?
Daniel Suarez I’m not 100% sure, but I think so.
Mike, and I think I speak for Manny when I say your knowledge and quality of contact it what a lot of people are looking for. As a former contractor for the Air Force but never military I never had the privilege to receive formal CQB training or similar. Your Content hit the spot as I can tell you are not in this for the money but truly for the passion of your lifestyle. Thank you brother and thank you for your service sir b
I wish I could spend a weekend with you and Shawn Ryan! I know y'all got it through experience, but there is so much yall have learned and so much yall are able to teach. Thank you guys so much for your knowledge that and your willingness to share.
Same I would love to do that
Ruger AR 5.56 is a very reliable AR. I don't think I've had one malfunction in about 1000 +/- rounds shot out of it.
Accurate too. I only have iron sights and I recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to spend ridiculous amounts
of money for an AR.
Honestly these days you can't go wrong with any ar-15 im rocking a palmetto state armor 15.... built like shit? Oh God yeah! Does its shoot and get the job done? You bet it does 100% reliable too lol
Get a psa same money as ruger but way better
I have a Ruger and a PSA, both very reliable, accurate, and reasonably priced.
@@itruck1 I love my psa!
Ruger is not as flashy or hyped as BCM, Daniel Defense, Knights Armament, etc
Very good explanation of twist rate..best I've heard..two rotations...simple and easy to grasp....your a good man.... inspired..
While he did not go into depth into details like barrel coatings , trigger types, BCG coatings or types,... he did cover what works for him. He has knowledge ,... while it may not answer everyone’s questions ,... he still has info. Not many of us readers out there have done what he has done. Internet commandos will balk about any detail he left out but they will balk and leave their trash and move on,..... hopefully. I am out there searching for what I don’t know so my skill set / preparedness will grow.
Wish we could get rifle platforms like this down in Australia! Awesome video mate, just earned a sub.
Perfectly good reason to emigrate.. we have too many Sissy's.. You'll feel right at home in Texas.
You can get them, you just cant show them to anyone once you have them. 😉
@Jason lol
@Jason Your fucking ignorant. Why haven't you told your government too go F themselves when they mandated your quarantine?
Hopefully I win the visa diversity lottery!!!
You get 40% more dwell time going from 10.5" to 11.5" barrel. Go the extra inch. My go to lengths are 11.5 and 14.5. BCM offers to pin and weld their break/comp to make it 16" and legal
Dwell time doesn’t matter when the buffer and spring are correct..stop using that worn out mil-spec bullshit
Man you have a very cool vibe! Some people are such “know it all’s” and are very hard to listen to. I was just listening to one of those types when your video popped up. Glad I clicked on it. You’ve got a new subscriber.
You guys show up just in time with the right video as I am going to be buying my first AR-15.
Great Value Mustard Yoda
Take your time. Do A LOT of research and build your own. You’ll get what you want and save money. That’s what I did after shooting many.
Grats. Buy the first one. Build the second.
Your idea of 1 lower and many uppers is EXACTLY how I started doing things a couple years back. It’s brilliant. I imagine it can even be used throughout a single “mission.” Having an AR with short barrel on the move, finding your spot, planting, and switching to an 18-20” upper for longer targets (having had that other upper in your Ruck the whole time). Good stuff man.
He articulated the bullet stability very well. Looking forward to taking their classes.
No,he didnt at all.
Are you an operator freedom inc?
@@moisessandoval3036 if you knew the operators mission,you would know that this doesnt even matter. They have armorers who work on their guns and they are issued ammo. He didnt give a good articulation on stability or trust rates. He didnt talk about natural yaw, length to weight correlation, range of length-wieght for what twist rates or why. The guy literally told you what he bought. That's it. Nothing else
@@FreedomInc He was educating a demographic that is interested in self-defense. None of what your speaking matters to civilians who want to educate themselves on what qualifies as a good "self defense" platform.
@Stuckgrenadepin thanks. If you look at what he runs,it is an identical setup to what was issued as a team member in his time. Idk if green berets were issued them but everyone around him today is running the exact same rifle. Ryan from vigilance elite,same rifle. All of them,same rifle.He cant tell you the why to anything ir even "what to look for in an ar15". A 10.5 inch is a horrible choice for 5.56 unless you are running suppressed. And even then its debatable. Like you said he didnt touch on the what to look for or whys of any of it. I dont even remeber what else he said in the video I just remeber it being a bcm sales pitch and there are far better rifles and pistols on the market for less money today.
When I'm in a position to start my build, I plan on using BCM parts. Because BCM has some of the highest quality ar15 parts and accessories at an affordable price.
Thank you for a very clear into to the AR15 platform
Fieldcraft Survival has to be, nay, is the BEST on youtube!
My 16” barrel is 1-7 optimized for slinging the XM855 green tip and my 8.5” barrel is a .300blackout running Hornady Black for full load and what ever 200gr bullet loads for subsonic I can find. If I reload my own subsonic I’ll typically use a 200grain projectiles with 3/4 of the normal powder load.... with .300 blackout you can still get a really good amount of lethal ballistics in CQB with that reduced subsonic and make it even quieter... while also having a mag loaded up for longer ranges even in the 8.5”. A full hypersonic load out of the 8.5” will still deliver good accuracy out to 300m. That’s why I have been experimenting with the Dolos tack down system. I have a second upper in 5.56 in 1-7 twist and a .300blackout I can fast change in my pistol lower. However I have found that a red dot has real limitations at 100+ yards... so I’ve been thinking about just carrying a complete 5.56 upper with a 1-6 scope as well.
Doug Carter honestly, the gun is pretty straight forward. People make stuff up all the time about ARs... but my one piece of advice for maintaining an AR is get some CLP, a small nylon scrub brush and a good lubricant. In a pinch motor oil can even work. I’ve used everything from grease and wax remover to non-chlorinated break parts cleaner to clean the funk and the WD40 to motor oil to lube. But best case is CLP, small nylon brush, bore snake, and then some lube if choice. Lol they say weapon of opportunity... but I say lube if opportunity. Just try to stay away from lithium lube or grease as they can sometimes hang up the action.
Green tip 😅
I have a diamondback. I just bought an acme machine in 5.56. just waiting for it to arrive. AR is a great rifle. I enjoy shooting it. It's the best platform in my opinion since the FN FAL. just my opinion. as we all have one.
You’re the man Mike! Looking forward to the sniper/long gun update.
OMG... you are standing at a place that looks almost identical to a place I hunt here in Colorado... wow... love your videos sir. Thank you! Steve in Colorado
A place in Colorado that looks just like Colorado?
Ya don't say, Steve.
Just picked up a M16a2 Clone, I do like my 20 barrel and simple setup
Love the A2 sights. Wish all rifles had something similar.
Great informative video. Thanks for the service you provide, and for staying ready. Knowing how to set up an AR, and knowing how to use it is one thing, but knowing how to tend to casualties is another. We should all be as proficient as possible in both areas.
Thanks for posting, and keep up the good work.
Holy crap, I can't believe I never thought about having separate uppers and lowers to swap out. I'm really glad I watched this!
I wouldn't recommend it unless you are short on money. having individual seperate weapons means you have more capability and more of an arsenal. otherwise you will always only ever have 1 solitary rifle no matter what.
@@dereksmith750 I already have 2AR's, but you know how it is. Left over parts means possibly building something else. I'm just thinking about what might be smart to build to have increased flexibility.
yeah it would be cheaper
Thank you Sergeant Major your service speaks for your valor as your knowledge speaks for your experience I was a soldier once 68W and have been happy in the past too call my grandfather’s generation the greatest I think Major Kahler would agree same greatness new generation
You are the man! Seriously. What a badass setup
I feel like there was a lot more you could have gone over but all in all not a bad video. Good job and thank you for putting this out there for the newbies.
Thanks for all your doing Mike! Appreciate you bro!
I'm about to buy my first ar from a friend, it's a dpms with forged receiver for $1200.00. It comes with a nice Nikon optic, sling, drum mag, several p-mags, a decent soft case, some ammunition, a range finder, and spotting scope. Other than that it's stock, I want to replace the, butt stock and hand stock mainly, but also in the future, barrel, and gas block. BUT I think I'm going to use the barrel and gas block until they go bad before replacing. This video was very helpful. Thanks!!
Man I love your channel! Really inspire me to be alert and prepared. I can’t wait to be able to buy an AR
Man you make shit so simple. I have been tuning recently.
Hey mike to help your channel out a little bit, make a playlist of all your video so viewers like me can just binge on all of them. Hope that helps, thanks for your tips and masterful tactical advice
That’s a great idea, thanks for the input!
Pat, Thanks for the amazing content.
I'm amazed at how flexible you still are after all of your injuries. Please keep the PT/shooting themed training videos coming and interesting. Get you some indeed.
@E-Tron Im definitely going to watch that episode now!
You should be focusing on a 16-inch barrel which most common civilians have
Very informative stuff. I've always used the m4's modularity to my advantage with multiple uppers. I have one in 5.56, 300blk, and 6.5 grendal and they go everywhere with me.
Can you use the same lower as the 5.56 for the 6.5 grendel?
@@mavricxx yes, just not the same magazines. 6.5 grendel uses a specific mag for reliable cycling.
What was informative about this video? I mean o watched it twice thinking I missed it the first time and I guess I missed it again.
@@FreedomInc it's literally in the title of the video. If you didn't take anything away from this then maybe you're just a know it all.
@@Bordz_92 the title of the video was informative? No,I'm not a know it all but I know more than what upper I bought and what comp I use. Even his logic on twist rate and distance is wrong. And bcm is really no better than companies who have less inexpensive products. It isnt an HM Defense where you actually get something for the $700 you pay for an upper.
Awww,are you a fanboy?
Another great video! Keep’em coming!
Hey y'all, remember...what works for this guy, may not work for you. Cool thing about an ar-15 platform is that every single thing on them is completely customizable. One thing i noticed he didn't really hit on, is the importance of the components. As in, bcg, barrel and trigger set up. Those are the 3 most important things, that you shouldn't go cheap on. I use a nickel boron bcg, simply because it's crazy easy to clean. I use a cmc 3.5lb trigger, because it is awesome and works. Barrel, there are plenty good barrels, just look to see if you can grab one with a dimple for your gas block, makes things easier, prevents rotation and makes your gas block much more secure.
77 gr. Otm all day in the short barrels. Definitely wouldn't go any shorter than 10.5 on a 556 either for velocity and terminal ballistics. BCM makes great stuff too.
Bought a BCM and I couldn't be happier
Thank you for your service and the information.
Pay attention to this guy he knows his stuff and gives great knowledge for free, i cut my spring, i like the more positive recognition in my rifle. Run a super light buffer to, biometrics. It also allows my clamp to be more positive. I like 77 grain boats, way better than anything in my personal 14.5. We learned about green tips, bunch a bullshit.
Great info
Thank you Mike.
Always appreciate you videos!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
SO MUCH GREAT INFO PROVIDED! THANK YOU!
Great video! I like the keep it simple stupid, setup. Totally agree on that.
As for me, I like to do things "stupid simple." I mean even simpler than just regular simple.
Again another very informative video, would love to more!
I agree with most of what you put out here. I’m not a big fan of that particular sling just because I found the dangling tab prone to snagging. I prefer the Haley Strategic D3 because it gives me the same adjustability without a strap dangling. Considering we both did that Airborne thing, I’m sure you understand my point. Secondly, twist rate is absolutely something important to consider; however, extra rotations within the barrel don’t necessarily equate to less yaw from the projectile. Projectiles don’t even necessarily need to make a full rotation inside of the barrel to have the same twist rate through the air. However, less velocity reduces the actual rpm the projectile spins. The math and mechanics actually work something like this: a 1 twist in 6” barrel causes the projectile to rotate once every 6” it travels. The same is true with 1:7”, 1:8”, etc.; however, we’ll use 1:6” for easier math because 6” is half a foot. A projectile traveling at 2300 feet per second with a 1:6” twist rotates twice per foot which becomes 4600 revolutions per second. If you propel that same projectile at 3000 feet per second at 1:6” twist rate, it spins at 6000 revolutions per second. It is actually the extra velocity that creates more gyroscopic stability. The projectile actually mechanically locks in the lands and grooves of the bore within the first couple of inches of rifling. This is evidenced by the striations on recovered intact projectiles after firing. So, while you have the effect right, the actual cause you gave is not. It’s also not entirely correct to say that heavier projectiles more revolutions per second to stabilize either though. It is actually the projectile length that is more important to consider. Heavier projectiles are typically longer; however, if you start looking at pure copper or brass projectiles or ones with a different shape compared to a traditional copper jacketed lead core spitzer projectile, it becomes more important to look at the projectile length than just the weight. I hope you don’t take any of that as an insult of any type as I only intend to clear up some misconceptions that are out there. Keep putting out great content. I’m just now being introduced to your channel after the video you put out with Shawn Ryan of Vigilance Elite.
We are with Caveman Tactics, just started having our Team look into you and your company seeing what you do and it is awesome. We have done similar things just not as in depth.
Love you brother, but I had to laugh at the hand rotation part! LOL
What to look for in an AR-15:
Look for three letters. BCM.
Bass Whoopin' Sons of Liberty Gun Works does a great job as well. They’re pretty transparent with their specs.

Excellent video very well simply explained, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge God Bless
Nice video! Thanks for your service and your videos!
Great info Mike. Love your channel.
I'm just gonna have a pretty basic AR. 1:7 or 1:8 twist 20" chrome lined barrel chambered in 5.56 with a FSB, Midwest Ind Drop-in quad rail. I already have an upper and lower from Aero Precision (it's their gen 2 mil spec), mil spec LPK (can't afford better atm), Magpul MOE furniture w/ carbine buffer assy, Strike ARCH-EL, and detach carry handle sight. I'll likely try other sighting sys later.
Prob gonna drop a chrome BCG in it. Thinking of running a basic brake, but we'll see how the A2 FH does with it being a 20".
Accessories: i already have a light bought for it from Olight with a pressure pad.
Next i'm gonna need a sling, 2-point, though i haven't decided on what i'll get yet.
Gonna get a bipod for it, maybe something Caldwell? Inexpensive and seem okay.
Haven't decided on if i want a foregrip, but prob not.
Mags, like just gonna be running with standard aluminum there.
And that's about it. Think it's gonna be alright for a first AR. I like all of the other kinds of things that people do with their rifles, like optics, light triggers, etc. But i want something that i think is a bit better than "basic" while also being something i can get a better feel for the platform with and still use later down the road while also being a rifle other, lesser experienced people'll feel comfortable about using. Plus i can't afford all that nice stuff lol
Any critiques from anybody? I could sure use it.
@Thelema9331 i'll give up the mobility for the longer range & better ballistics. The rifle will be "general/multi-purpose" you could say, the go-to for most things i'd need a rifle for. But like you said, i could just swap uppers if i want something shorter later. Though that'd also be a gokd excuse for why i would need another AR lol.
I have looked into some of Primary Arms' optics & scopes, if i get anything (which would prob be in the not-so-distsnt future) then i'd get something from them. But tbh, i kinda like irons in general. I know, i'm strange lol.
I really like having a standard FSB on my rifle, and I can run a 2x or 3x ACOG with my Daniel Defense A1.5 in place if I want. No muss, no fuss.
Also, nothing wrong with a regular lower parts kit. I think the GI style trigger is fine for a defensive rifle. Mine out shoots me every time. :p
Good video strait to the point no BS, keep it up 👍👍💪💪
I think everything mentioned is a great idea, bar the IR stuff cause most people don’t have nods. But great info for those who do. The only gray area problem is with changing the uppers. If I have a rifle with a 16” barrel and throw a 10.5” I now have an SBR. I’m not sure if all you have to do is take the stock off and throw a brace on or if the actual lower has to be registered as a pistol now that it has a short barrel. Also if it is an SBR I don’t think putting a 16” barrel on would make it a normal rifle I think it’s forever an SBR. Maybe someone who knows more about this can comment.
I think people underestimate the value of training videos. Like full lesson long form well filmed and edited highly quality media with high quality instruction. Especially for advanced shooters. Yes you need to go physically learn to shoot. Get comfortable with basic flat range reps and reps and reps but once your 2000 rounds deep. Maybe you’ve carried a gun on the job weather military, security, LEO then video courses become such a great and in my opinion underestimated tool. There is the somewhat true stereotype “what did you learn that shit on UA-cam?” And I get it. People are ridiculous sometimes but if you know what to look for if you are rooted in reality and most importantly if after the video you go actually do the drills and challenge yourself to work through the problems presented then you getting tons and tons of value. Plus if I go through a firearms course I’m gonna make some mistakes and I’m gonna learn from them. Let’s say the instructors find a couple things I’m doing that could be improved upon. They tell me and I improve. That’s a win. But now let’s say I watch 10 guys go through the same course I just went through. They all make different mistakes. Some make more some make less but now I get to learn from all their mistakes as well and if it’s on video I can do it at home without the pressure of range safety and my own muzzle awareness taking me away from fully absorbing the instructions. Thanks Mike @FieldcraftSurvival is the tits
Excellent content Mike. Happy New Year to ya man!! Much love from Portland’ OR
Would like to see a list of everything listed in video info from Firearm name and description to links and of all other accessories mentioned in the video to help viewers research and build their own.
(I know its a 2018 video but still useful in 2020 and beyond)
Hi Mike. I know this is a year old but I have a question... I have a nice OLDER AR. It’s a Colt Match Target Lightweight AR15. Old school iron sights that flip for near/far, solid stock akin to the original ARs, and an integrated angled top carry handle (also akin to original ARs). It’s got nothing on it except for a sling, old Aimpoint Comp M, and a fold up bipod. 5.56 1:7 twist, 16” barrel that likes heavy projectiles. It’s not a “platform” for adding tons of accessories. No picatinny handguard. I’m a regular guy who uses it for home protection, light game, and FUN! I’ve taken a 4 day class with it at frontsight, shot well with it, and was totally pleased with it. Tons of fun at the range and in the woods. Not a 308 so I’m not winning the long battle. Feel like I’m missing out by not being able to mod it out with stuff but again I’m a regular guy and not a professional operator; I won’t have use for IR or night vision. Dudes scoff at it but it works well. So is there anything wrong with running an old school AR? Perhaps I’ve answered my own question but I’m not sure a accessory platform is for everyone. Thanks in advance and thanks for that covid /prep video you made while driving, and in one take! Good stuff sir!
Very clear concise info. Thanks!
I'd like to see a video of the vtac sling used for casualties. I have several and I like them. I'd also like to see vids on Kurt' s bcm, his Surgeon, and y'alls pistol set up. Aw hell, keep putting out videos and I'll keep watching em.
What kind of ammo do you use and what kind of accuracy do you get at 200 and beyond with your SBR?
Btw, can you do a home defense video and what gun youd recommend for home?
Thanks Mike.
Take a drink from the firehose of practical tactical!🇺🇸🤙🏽
Mike Thanks Great 👍🏼 video since I have a AR-15!!!!!
Where’s Sean!!! You guys are Awesome!
Great Vid!!
Very informative, for sure!
Dad finally taught me how to throw a football. Thanks dad.
Did you mean 11.5” BCM?
Yea I must meant that or got his cut down..
Seems like he's been running that gun for a while and just forgets what's in the actual build.
Has BCM never offered a 10.5"? cause Im confused why it must be a 11.5" hes using
J.J. Morey 11.5 is the smallest 556 barrel they make. They have shorter in 300 blk
BCM used to sell 10.5” LMT uppers. 11.5” is their shortest 5.56. Their owner, Paul, has an excellent article on why 11.5” was his choice. It comes down to dwell time. I think the extra inch increases dwell time by 40%.
Great vid man!
It's a lousy video man. It's gobbledygook from folks who don't know that they don't know being sucked up by folks who don't have a basis of understanding to know that the information given is not pertinent to getting the desired outcome from an AR.
Is the gas block pinned on that BCM?
I noticed no iron sights, as of 2019 (2020 in a couple of days) it seems like if you have a good optic you don’t need iron sights
Cameron McCrea It’s always best to have backup irons if the rifle is for duty use if your life or someone else’s depends on it, but personal or recreational wouldn’t matter.
If you have a Trijicon acog it’s not battery operated so it won’t fail.
I would assume (he mentions different uppers in the video) he has multiple AR setups to include one with BUIS. Due to the real estate on this particular BCM he probably didn’t have room on the way he likes his PEQ setup. Also it’s an aimpoint optic so yeah...
@@Theextremepessimist everything can fail. Granted that is a phenomenal optic... but personally I would still have buis.
@@stewpidasso288 Agreed. Even the mighty ACOG can fail. The glass can break. The glass can get covered in gunk to the point it's temporarily useless. BUIS add very little weight. Might as well.

I know this is an older video Mike but TECHNICALLY it’s illegal to swap a lower from an AR pistol into a rifle upper and Vice versa. Google can explain it more in depth but if you buy a rifle and want to buy a pistol length upper. It’s illegal to put that pistol length upper onto a lower that was once part of a rifle if that makes sense lol. My philosophy is “Free men don’t ask permission” but I just wanted to let you know so you are aware.
No kidding, moron.
@carmineleonettijr6769 Not everyone, especially those new to firearms, knows that. Moron
Shorter twist rates supports lighter bullets better than heavier bullets, not the other way around
Slower twist rates do not support high BC bullets. The United States Army Marksmanship Unit suggests 1/8 and 1/7 twist for the Long Range 77 grain 5.56 round. The original M16 was fitted with a 1/12 twist barrel which stabilized the M193 round 55 grain bullet. That rifle will not stabilize the current M855 62 grain bullet.
Do you still stand with your choice of a BCM 10.5in today?
I'm committed late to the vid and just become a new sub either I wasn't paying attention or u just explained it better I don't know however my AR has a 1 & 7 twist which was wondering what everyone was shooting as grain weight but I have a 16 inch barrel thanks for explaining some of that to me and I will check out two sites u where talking about also sorry for a long comment and again thanks for taking time to make vids and ect.
g23 1:7 twist shoots heavier grains or heavier better. 62grain and up. That being said it’ll shoot 55grain just fine.
@@telecaster305 thanks for info I'm shooting m855 m179 I think they shoot fine but I was also wondering about 55 also and again thanks very much I appreciate any help I can get
g23 no prob. I have an 11.5 1:7 BcM shoots 55grain American eagle With no prob.
I can't decide if I should get BCM or Daniel defense.
Love my DD
Let us know what you decide.
Ive been thinking that myself
BCM
Are Rock river arms good rifles? I inherited one from my pops. It's got iron sights. Should I just keep it as is? Also I like that 2 point sling. Very nice.
My pops has 4 rock river builds, all of them run great. I would recommend a 150 to 200 dollar red dot with shake awake and definitely get a nice 50 to 70 dollar 2 point sling.
Fieldcraft Survival
Would you be so kind to tell me what lower do you use; what forearm grip; what barrel; and what stock you use.
That looks like a complete BCM rifle: KMR rail (There's also the MCMR), BCM lower & BCM Gunfighter stock.
how useful is switching shoulders vs leaning out a bit more from cover to shoot on your non dominant side? hear this is debated a lot.
Great video

I am going to buy a BCM 14.5" upper, (probably the M2 since it is beefed up) and was wondering if you recommend the ligjtweight or standard barrel.
If you havent already bought the 14.5" barrel make sure you get a mid length gas system. Soooooo much smoother than carbine length.
@@xSikks isn't anything less than 16 inches carbine length?? and what AR do you have?
did you get the BCM? which one? and how is it?
7:43 Could someone expand on the legal aspects of swapping uppers and lowers if the lower is registered to a SBR upper? My knowledge is limited.
The lower is the actual firearm so if it’s stamped as an SBR you can put any length upper on that lower
@@neonpaintsplash what's the maximum length for SBR? and is it worth it to get an SBR?
@@gummybear41283 There is no maximum length, but once your overall rifle length is less than 26” from muzzle tip to end of buffer tube, then you have an SBR. You can get an AR “pistol” that has various shorter barrel lengths and a different stock setup and doesn’t require you to register anything as an SBR.
@@ClinttheGreat don't you measure from the end of a closed butt stock to muzzle tip?
You hit Arizona alright!
Please put ar accessory info in description
Have Lockar. 225 2O barrel chrome and bolt. Just like Nam Carrying handy to. Just don't know if I flat top need to get a sling.
flat top is way to go if you're running an optic.
@@ajr1775 thinking red dot And hold down front and rear sight Just thinking what do you think
@@paulhastings3109 You can run an optic on top of the carrying handle but it just ends up putting the optic way too high. Flat top for sure so you can co-witness the front site post.
