5 Things To Know Before Buying Your First AR-15

[@brianstuart4203]

PSA will work for about 99% of people. They will never train enough to shoot it out or break it. Most people buy one and don’t shoot 100 rounds a year through it.

[@stevengonzalez6126]

Couldn’t agree more… PSA works, it’s budget friendly and they are reliable.

[@BeardOperator]

PSA with a good barrel and a microbest bcg and you’re good. Personally my go to budget rifle is a DTI hbar upper, they use Wilson barrels. With a PSA lower. The gun is bullet proof pretty much and I would depend on it an have complete faith in it. I’ve got about 1300$ in it all together with premium parts. The PSA lower is all that’s really budget but PSA makes good Mil-Spec lowers

[@tongo382]

You are absolutely correct. The average civilian is not going to Syria. PSA is the perfect platform.

[@matthuffman4788]

Yeah, but PSA sells direct to customer. A retailer like classic Firearms isn’t going to talk about PSA even though it really is the best place to start for any new gun owner

[@JPS1Dec]

If classic had their own brand PSA would sell it and promote it…. As they do for others.

Clint And Kaya Are Great, But Jason Honest Is One Of My Favorite Hosts Ever! Seems Chill And Relatable

[@djrick2609]

My m&p sport 2 has been a great starter ar I’ve had it for about 10 years no issues with proper cleaning and maintenance with well over 5-6k rounds threw it granted I’ve upgraded some parts over the years but I trust it with my life and it’s still fun to shoot

[@armorers_wrench]

Better than PSA I'll say. They are pretty functional guns. The only downside to the s&w sport series is they include a commercial specc bcg instead of a full mass milspec bcg. Not 100% sure but I think s&w does this across their line of AR15s not just the sports.

[@voteholyk]

I always a simple equation. L+M=G, location + mission = gear. Location: My house, the city, etc.. Mission: Protect my family, protect the public, etc.. Gear: decide based upon the first 2. Works for any scenario.

[@andyhsong]

I started with an m&p sport ii. Excellent starter rifle and base to build upon. Since then I have upgraded pretty much every part except the upper and lower receivers, learned a ton and had fun along the way.

[@YouTube_can_ESAD]

Just picked up a 16” IWI Zion Ar-15 for $750, no sales tax, delivered. Should get it any day now, super stoked. 🔥👍🏾

[@Mienhboi]

Put a 2lb flat face single stage trigger 3 prong flash and good optic...... sexy

[@DeathstrikerTex]

How'd you manage that? Let alone delivered to you? Man's living the dream

[@cirruscapo]

"Super"... Lol

[@stevenrose8375]

Haven’t been able to find one since the war started???

[@mattschultzy671]

Get an inexpensive AR and get a very nice bolt carrier group to go with it; the number one, most important, most user replaceable moving part. Most of the rest? If it is legitimately mil-spec. it's mil-spec. No need to overthink it. Number two tip? Make sure that you buy at least 3 Magpul magazines for it. That way, when it malfunctions with some crazy colored magazine that you bought because you thought it looked cool, you can throw a Magpul in there and make sure that it's not the mag rather than the gun causing the malfunction. Best $40 of AR money you will spend.

[@TheSmoke420TiresBbqGuns]

Idc what any one says kaya and jason are great !!! The short guy looks identical to my friend that passed on in 2022 at 40 he was 6'5 280 and was built like brook lesner. That guy on this episode was his mini me!! What a trip!!!!

[@bwerd6572]

Brook Lesner. Been dominating UFC’s female division in the cage and her lesser known husband, Brock, in the bedroom for the last decade.

[@Dstev98141]

Illinois, if you don’t already own it, you can’t get it!

[@Not_Sure_81]

I really hope that changes for you guys soon

[@petesheppard1709]

My first AR was an Olympic Arms A1 clone, back in the '90s. My criteria was something like the M16A1 I saw on TV during the Vietnam War and carried in the Marines, and Olympic was what I saw in a gun shop and bought on impulse. My second (and current) AR was a Sport II. It was fall of 2016, and Hilary! was pushing gun sales for all she was worth. 😉 My considerations were brand, price and did it have sights? The S&W was the best option at the store. Thankfully, Hilary! lost. 😎

[@Shadowdancer777]

My first and last choice for an AR is always a LWRC.

[@J.Young808]

I got my M6IC DI in 2018 for $1,600 (Honolulu price) I am cross eye dominant righty and wasn’t sure if I would shoot lefty, but I trained myself to shoot right eyed. It’s such a chore to shoot here in Honolulu I don’t think I have 100 rounds through it. I’m wanting to take it to Thunder Ranch before Clint Smith stops teaching. My LWRCi got me into the rabbit hole of pew pews.

[@matthuffman4788]

These guys are cool, but I gotta say I miss Clint

[@stormlakebobcat9058]

I really have not tuned in much since Alek and Clint have departed.

[@someoneelse7724]

Clint has his own channel now

[@Not_Sure_81]

Agreed. It ain't the same

[@kevinwilson9258]

Sig M-400 is a great first ar. Stainless barrel, chrome lined bcg. Lifetime warranty? Can’t go wrong.

[@voteholyk]

You can show field stripping for maintenance. You won't get a strike for that. Sooch00 does it all the time.

[@archipelago93]

Everybody knows that the FIRST priority is getting an AR that has the MOST red anodized parts

[@irafowlerjr.7492]

Helpful info, thanks

[@Goldblooded912]

Can you change up the intro music?

[@mikecanul]

LOL - best opening EVAR! Good job boys!

[@The_Ren]

Good stuff. I need to know what Jason’s Oakley frames are. I have an astigmatism and had similar frames for years I just stepped on 🤬

[@MayMay-vv2me]

For example- I have a .300 blkout and 5.56 AR. Both being different threads 1/2x28 and 5/8x24. When getting a suppressor.. is there one (a suppressor) that I can buy that can do both? Or Is there an adapter needed ? Or ? Any response is welcome- new to this wonderful world. Thanks for anyone that responds!!

[@gregoryglover201]

Get Pepperbox very gun friendly

[@SIGMAPRIME0001]

I have never been first in one of these comment sections. OK I'mma watch the video.

[@josephroddy5352]

Long stroke pistons system on an AR isn't rare. PWS is easily obtainable.

[@b_doc6142]

Number one should always be reviewing your local state laws!!

[@wood-wheel-wizard]

[@davidmiller3211]

[@mcb2757]

Good video

[@WatchesCanBeFun]

Great video but you gotta start putting the prices of the guns when you show them. I’m not sure if KZbin policies prevent that or there’s a different reason, but that’s the only extra thing I would want to see as a viewer.

[@nightnomad635]

UK watcher here. Surely most of the cost of gun ownership is in the ammo right?

[@DanDriscoll-i4y]

Where's Clint???

[@lawrencepickering1564]

You forgot gun safety……..it’s just as important for long guns as handguns….. I was in a gun store yesterday and was getting flagged by a shotgun.

[@mth2273123]

The one thing i do not understand about AR15 gun law is the lower is the firearm

[@Not_Sure_81]

Just like handguns bro. It's where the trigger group and magazine well are. Be thankful for that. If slides and uppers were also "firearms" we'd all have twice the headache to deal with

[@Not_Sure_81]

At this point, if a noob asked me about getting their 1st, I'd start with recommending getting a pre built lower with buffer assembly and decent furniture. Then helping them with a complete upper in their price range. That route is definitely a money saver due to tax laws and the pick and choose factor adds points as well. If a complete rifle in that sub $1000 is their choice - an m&p sport 3 or ruger ar556 would be great 1st rifles. IWI gets solid reviews in that category too. I wouldn't recommend psa anymore. Very hit or miss in my personal experience

[@jarvisrutherford289]

Algorithm defeated

[@BeardOperator]

Intro is kinda loud guys. Just saying

[@randomizerteleviewage307]

1. Buy a different rifle

[@burpping]

I just viewed this for the first time. Excellent presentation! Near the end, you invited comments if I felt you missed something. Only two more things to consider before buying your first AR15: #1, Please understand that AR does not stand for Assault Rifle or Automatic Rifle. #2, Is the AR platform what you really want? Several other rifles might meet your needs, and they might not excite the anti-gun politicians who, in five more years, might start that gun-grab stuff again.

[@JohnnyUtah949]

Price? Just save money? Anyone not running BCM, HK, Daniel Defense or Knights is missing out. Check those guys out, see how much they run for and save money to get it. My BCM ran me $1,700. You get what you pay for and that can and will be your last weapon you need to buy. Cheaper AR’s you’re always going to be chasing a BCM/DD/KAC anyways. Just save yourself the trouble.

[@nobodyspecial1852]

Personally I like to get Frankenguns built up, everything personalized and optimized for me and specific use scenarios.

[@SuperFcsmith]

I agree JU949, along with BCM I’d recommend Colt, CMMG, and LMT. DD and Knights A are on my bucket list.

[@NCeezo]

noveske me!

[@DTreatz]

no more than $2k though, you're hitting diminishing returns at that point.

[@wreckinball11]

Do you have an AR alternative for those of us living in communist states?

[@stormlakebobcat9058]

Ruger mini 14. 🦅🗽🇺🇸👍

[@Shirou8492]

What fricking AR is $5000 or $6000 from the factory? Even a Knight’s is only about $3000…

[@SCTitan06]

HK MR762 75th anniversary editions are ~$5600. SCAR 17 is getting close to $5k. I do agree though not much above the $5k price point unless it's a limited run or something like that or unless it comes with optics and other accessories from the factory.

[@edwardpate6128]

Look at all of the AR options and after you've thought about it very carefully, go buy an AK!

[@esreveresrever2788]

appreciate your videos. moved from a yankee state to a free state and made a few early purchases i'd like to take a mulligan on. much more educated now, thanks in part to content from this channel. happy new year to all!

[@demographicrenaissance6613]

BCM upper, Colt upper (still good), LMT (standard uoper), with Anderson, PSA, Aero lowers. Add upgraded lower parts as you find out what YOU would like. Giesslee Don't cut corners on certain parts 1) BCG 2) Barrel 3) Buffer System 4) iron sights 5) sling 6) optic 7) light. Then handguard, trigger.

What happened to the other guy that was on here? Clint I believe his name was

[@DB12531]

Great video. I live in a communist state, ar rifles are illegal but I can own an ar pistol on my pistol permit. Can you do a 5.56 pistol video? 10.5" or 11.5?

[@ChristianConstitutionalist3192]

7:57 The Short one in the Intro couldn't handle that Gun; His Arms are not long enough.

[@DaveL9170]

1st buy a Knights 14.5” and then never need a new one ever again. Simple. As. That.

[@silsdad]

Right.....or BCM, Sons of Liberty,...

[@silsdad]

[@nohandle74]

Cool where can I get one?

[@XtheMagus]

Buy an AR-10 instead 😁

[@wickedclown0636]

Let’s go Brandon

[@mcb2757]

Buy once cry once. Best advice given when it comes to rifles. And that doesn't mean you need to buy a KAC right out of the gate. Plan to spend around 1K on your base rifle and you will have something that will last you the rest of your life. If you can't afford it, save up until you can. Don't buy PSA.

[@danielhaywood5741]

They fired Clint?

[@edwardpate6128]

Wow! Is that true?

[@Brandon_Alston]

@@edwardpate6128No, he left the Chanel awhile back. I left on good terms. He has his on Chanel, just look up his name.
