AR15 built for CQB : GRIFFIN ARMAMENT MK2 CQB 11.5

[@BoneJam69]

I’ve had many people reach out to me with the word of God. None of them had really made it through to me. But somehow you have done it and I thank you for that.

[@bobbycarter6864]

Again Brothers you have outdone yourselves. This is a awesome video. Your ability to transition from tactical information to the spiritual realm is really eye opening for a lot of military veterans like me. I am really blessed because I have a Built in support system. My wife is a Mental Health Therapist who happens to enjoy shooting also. I often share your videos with her and my 2 grown daughters . Your videos are incredibly informative for the Christian Community at-large. Brothers keep doing what you're doing this ministry is unlike any that I have come across on KZbin or anywhere else for that matters. Brothers please be Blessed.

[@Brix7-08]

My 11.5 is running the Recce 5 can, SR-RIGID rail, and Griffin back up irons. Love Griffin products.

[@abelacosta7200]

Griffin Armament is one of the better manufacturers today. They make great rifles, suppressors, muzzle devices, & everything is made in-house so qc is top notch. Another thing I like is that they don’t overcharge their products. They ain’t cheap but reasonably priced. They remind me a lot like Primary Weapon Systems. Awesome review.

[@barrelandhatchet]

That was one of our big takeaways as well. Very reasonable in price

[@1robertcourtney]

I always love your breakdown of guns and gear. I also love that you are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. God bless your family, business and ministry.

[@barrelandhatchet]

We are glad to have you here brother!

[@alexm5656]

I’ve got an old recce 5 and just bought the dual lok 5 and 7. I tell people about griffin all the time but they seem underrated. They make some of the best cans on the market

[@barrelandhatchet]

It’s the affordable version of knights armament quality

[@Cgonz1982]

Running their recce 5k and loving it!!!! run it on a 12.5middy. runs like a dream!

[@MrTylero28]

We are running a similar setup at my work we have one of the machine guns setup with a chrome lined 14.5” fn barrel mid gas. But we chopped it to 12” and we run the recce 5k on it with one of the rifle speed adjustable gas blocks. And the biggest thing that makes it so amazing to shoot.. I put one of the Surefire optimized bcg’s in it and I’ll tell you what. It’s the smoothest flattest easiest to shoot 556 machine guns ever. It’s something we’ve all said would be an amazing tool to teach people about recoil Mitigation. The griffin stuff is amazing

[@Cgonz1982]

@@MrTylero28 mine a 12.5 middy from LMT, only thing im working on now is buffer setup. still possibly looking at the K-spec carrier from KAK maybe.

[@michaelbach8355]

Thank you for sharing your faith. It’s so neat in this world. Enjoy your videos.

[@barrelandhatchet]

Thanks for watching!

[@John_439]

Haven't watched the video yet but just want to say that the 11.3-11.7 barrels length for 556 is awesome. From the testing done by the us military and FBI it shows the massive benefits of that length. You get a lot more velocity over 10.3 and a much softer shooting/more reliable gun.

[@gforce03XX]

In my experience a few years back Griffin has bad customer service. They sold me a part that was supposed to be made for my sig and then wouldn't take it back.

[@barrelandhatchet]

Whoa, well that stinks, I wonder if they have had a management change since then, I know that bad customer service is definitely some thing that can take a long time to get confidence back

[@Dirigo.Development]

Christ is King. Love the prayer requests you guys have been doing!

[@Maine307]

this is my next build! wth the GP5 !! i WAS JUST MAKING THE PLANS FOR THIS BUILd !! FYI Mil Leo need to sign up for the Gridffin Dicount ! its 30% silensor discount!! Griffin is awesome! I just got the PSR7 , ATF4 in 21 days this month! They do a good job, I love the Snatch Handle! used it today for the 1st time!! Thanx for this video!! I am doing my pplans for it this week - talk about timing!! ur videos rock!!

[@barrelandhatchet]

Thanks brother!! Love that you are here with us

[@josephsantana3094]

I have a mostly griffin rifle. Some other reviews scared me away from their barrels. I wanted the 12.5 but wasn’t confident about it. Ended up going with Criterion which of course is great too. However the rest of my Griffin components are top notch. Love my Recce 5K.

[@armorers_wrench]

Griffin lowers are m16 cut too. At least the MK1 was, my first ever SBR lower was a Griffin. I like their stuff and want one of their suppressors eventually.

[@barrelandhatchet]

Their suppressors are fantastic

[@lucasnicholas4361]

I have the Griffin HRT-556. I’ve only had it to the range once. I had quite a bit of gas to the face, though, I wasn’t running a suppressor optimized charging handle which probably had a lot to do with it. I had a Raptor SD in it now and excited to see how it performs next time I go out

[@armorers_wrench]

@@barrelandhatchet have you tried the m4sd2 in the .30cal variety?

[@RouseDas]

Just got my Mk2 lower last week. Waiting for my rosco upper situation to get resolved, but am thinking of putting it on my 16" upper for now.

[@barrelandhatchet]

Good choice!

[@01Sassoon]

I love my Mk1 11.5 upper. It's a great piece of kit.

[@randyreviewsit]

I am working on my video for the mk2 11.5 and wow this is the best gassed gun I have had and I am loving the recoil impulse

[@dancarter7009]

Amen brother! 🤙🏻

[@ckkevin9620]

I'm not sure what the deal is with ADM and Griffin but I heard Griffin was the original designer of that lower and licensed it to ADM and ADM never paid royalties. I have several ADMs so I bought a Griffin lower to use in the Tactical Games. I paired it with their upper receiver, Midwest Industries ultralight handguard and 14.5 Criterion Core barrel. Also have their maritime receiver extension. To say it's a shooter is an understatement. It's a nice lightweight and accurate build. I also use their Plan A taper mount along with their taper mount muzzle devices on all my silencers. Griffin is very underrated IMHO.

[@seanm4152]

I heard that Griffin started by not paying ADM for labor hours their staff was using to make products for Griffin. Then things kinda just snowballed into that lower reciever royalites ordeal. At the very least I think it takes two to tango. But I also have a couple ADM's and love the rifles. As someone who lives in WI I really like to support WI companies so this stuff is frustrating to hear.

[@jacobyjacobs2885]

Love my mk2 lower built an 11.5 with Rosco K9 11.5 barrel Midwest nightfigher handguard

[@barrelandhatchet]

It’s amazing! I love it. Def my favorite ambi lower

[@samarmitage9222]

Great rifles. Love their rail covers. Tell them to get them back into retail rotation with various colors!

[@mac7977]

I got MK2 lower for my BCM upper w/ 18in Criterion barrel. All my charging handles are Griffin Sch2 and all muzzle devices are Griffin taper mount. Their quality is superb.👍🏽

[@MrTylero28]

I love my griffin cans! The Recce 5k is one of my favorite 556 cans in the market. I also dig the explorr30 and the checkmate 22lr can they make some super great stuff. Also good dudes!

[@barrelandhatchet]

That company is run by good people and they make incredible products with high-quality

[@J-Bones87]

I know this is an old video but I'm building a 11.5 AR pistol the barrel is a ballistic advantage with a BCM quad rail.

[@jaredhardage6400]

thanks for the great video and actually running your weapon systems! also what sling are you running on this?

[@ultraspank8479]

I like the look of the griffin suppressors been wondering how good they are quality wise. And they are always in stock it seems

[@spitterspitball]

I run the hrt 556 for duty use. It’s a bit gassier than expected because of the eco flow baffles but it’s splendid in tandem with a bootleg bcg. I like griffins stuff

[@ThatsAmore2142-mz1dj]

I just SBR'd my MK2 lower with my URGI 11.5 upper and use an RC2. Absolutely love the MK2 lower.

[@ComeOnPelican91]

The lines on the bolt catch are called striations.

[@Unholy07]

I use a Recce 5 on a 10.3, 14.5 and 16. I love the ecoflow baffles, great cans.

[@barrelandhatchet]

I agree!

[@mattwarner6599]

Awesome review. 10k rounds is a good test point. I will have to look closely at Griffin.

[@JoshSmith-pb8rw]

I’m interested in that cheek riser whenever it becomes available. The Magpul version interferes with the charging handle on the DT stock.

[@Tmac327]

I was wondering if you could tell me what type of spray paint and colors you used on your camo job you sprayed on your rifle at the 3.23 mark??

[@revolutionanarchy713]

10k rounds from a 416SS barrel? I'm currently trying to decide on a barrel for an 11.5 build and I'm leaning towards Criterion core but have also been looking at the hedp barrels.... This makes my decisions harder again 😅

[@dbsparks]

MK2 + Recce 5 is dream

[@Ultrarmx]

First time I see the rear flip up sights in the middle. Is it because it does not fit in the rear due to the magnifier?

[@coleworld18]

What muzzle device are you running? There are so many on their website! Also, what is the difference between their dual lok 5 or 7 & their HRT 556 / 762?

Nice Kit, but I don’t do shorties. I’m tall with really long arms. Very nice though.👍🏻

[@ZombieGunslingr]

This is gonna seem like a silly question . But how does the size of the Person affect barrel length selection. I run a stock Rec 7 with a 16 inch barrel and it seems short to me . I have no issues maneuvering it I'm 6'3".

[@AJohnSmith]

Yes, different arm lengths. Taller guys have to scrunch down into smaller lengths. Shorter guys have less reach so shorter works well.

[@barrelandhatchet]

It can have some affect, but that is where large forward grips can make all the difference to make up for the lack of rail space

[@gabeslife0601]

Why not go with 762x39 or 300 blackout if the price is no issue? Seems like an obvious move when comparing how trash explodes when met with 556 vs 762.
