Every time you guys call something $1,000 super cheap I’m just reassured how poor I am 😂 great video

As an another commenter put out there Larue barrels are crazy accurate. I’ve got a 20 inch, I need to get it on a true long range to strength those legs.

[@brettawesome]

I’ve been thinking about getting one, did you get a full rifle or just the barrel from them? How far have you shot with it?

[@michaelmccarthy7080]

Can you guys do a 100% dedicated MK12/SPR video? I can't get enough.

[@travisweldmaster7815]

Mk 12 is 18 inches right, the mk 18 is almost 12..

[@michaelmccarthy7080]

@@travisweldmaster7815 MK12s came with either an 18 inch or 16 inch barrel depending on the model. The MK18 was a 10.3 or 10.5 inch barrel. The important thing to remember is that these are just names of contracts the military used. You can have a 12.5 inch gun and use it in the same capacity as a MK18

[@cw7legionofpewrights596]

Been here since the beginning just busy life schedule 😊😂 So true on the 77s the ballistic tip ones by AAC I’ve seen are more accurate than OTM but the OTMS work. Just solid fundamentals on GPR is priority. Keep it up guys

My Ballistic Advantage 14.5 SS Hanson barrel did a 1.38 inch 10 shot group on 6x last week with AAC 77g. The complete upper including Sig MSR 1-6 scope was right at $1,000. My 18 inch Faxon Gunner Match will do a sub MOA 10 shot group with an Athlon 2-12x with the AAC SMK 77g, still only about a $1,300 upper.

Picked up 20 duramag straight body SS mags a few months ago. They definitely don‘t like a fast rate of fire. Constant feed issues. I’d stick with pmags over a duramag for sure. They do look mega based tho. Keep up the great content.

[@collindubois6064]

Good stuff

[@goingnorthoutdoors901]

Great video!! Appreciate the guidance. When you do a video on the psr5 please do some extensive flash testing. Curious about how much of a flash signature it has under nods.

[@jayboy9124]

On the subject of magazines, magpuls MAY get brittle and crack feedlips in extreme cold causing malfunctions. I went out to test my gear a couple winters ago in single digit and sub zero temps.I broke a gen 2 and a gen 3, Duramag, D&H, Okay Industries all ran great. Test your shit in every environment you can.

[@ZroCool_Garage]

Do those new heavier grain 556 feed reliably in an ar platform?

[@matthewminch5894]

As long as they are the OTM style bullets like sierra matchkings they work fine. The polymer tipped ones can be a little long sometimes. 69gr bullets have very similar ballistics as the 77gr so if your looking for ammo options dont sleep on those. The 5.56 case isnt large enough to push the 77gr bullets fast enough to have a game changing advantage.

[@abgrst]

I have three modtac covers two u-rac and one m-rac. Be aware the u-rac do not fit all guns well. Bought one for a pws piston rifle and it turns out the height over bore of the top rail on that pws is slightly taller than a standard ar 15. So my suppressor is not centered when covered in fact it touches on the bottom making the cover useless for that rifle. My other u-rac was for an older model blackout defense rifle. The hand rail on that isn't flat at the front so the u-rac mounts but it is pushed forward enough that I can't manipulate the collar lock of the suppressor. I'm going to have to chop the front of the rail to make it flat to get a better mount. Also the modtac covers have jumped significantly in price recently.

What’s the weight of your spr builds?

[@HopefulForever-ln5xm]

This is why I handload my ammo. I can fine tune the type and amount of powder for any weight projectile for the barrel of my rifles....and my average cost is 18 cents per round.

You can reach sub .5 MOA on a SPR with a little time and effort in the build.

[@dimemmo]

The problem with the aac ammo is it’s inconsistent (which is nothing new to psa). I’ve had a couple batches of their 77 smks that produced 2+ moa groups out of every gun we had available to us. Maybe I’m just unlucky but I’m not the only one who’s experienced this. If you ever see the ammo on sale, stay away.

[@00EvilG]

[@shootscoot883]

I have a shitload of green tip ammo I'm curious how well it does so I don't have to go out and purchase more ammo!!!!

[@steveroehlk8799]

People get pissed off if you shoot their steel with green tip

[@cohesive3482]

Green tip is horrible for accuracy. Get some 77gr OTM from AAC.

[@supersaiiiyan]

I've had strange luck with 62gr PMC. Out of the 7 ammos I grouped when I built my Precision ar I had green tip grouping 1.1 MOA. Guess my barrel likes it more than most. Beat out Federal 69gr .223 and 77gr sierra match kings. It's a FN 16in cold hammer forged barrel, I was always curious how it would translate to the same barrel but in 18in. Definitely pays off to test out your range ammo and see how the rifle likes it. I happily bought more green tip after that for back up. Other than that, the standard AAC 77gr OTM got me sub MOA. for $11 a box, its been a no brainer for me, first round hits out to 700yds. Just all depends on what your barrel likes, it varies so much.

Randy looks like he’s a hugger. As others have said, larue barrels fuck. For 223/556 guns I’ve used faxon, ballistic advantage, Rosco, Wilson, white oak, criterion and solgw. None of them have accurized such a wide range of ammo. By far larue has been the least picky on ammo. 50g varmint loads to 77g target loads all group decently.

[@LRRPFco52]

Love your channel and videos. Where did the GPR misnomer come from? Why would someone call a carbine a General Purpose Rifle? Something is off with that naming convention and it needs to go away. 24” and longer is rifle territory, with some 24” lever guns even considered carbines back in the late 1800s. 1903, 1917, M1 Garand all had 24-26” barrels. M1 Carbine had a 17.75” barrel. M-14 had 22” barrel with long flash hider. M16 had 20” barrel. Colt 605 was the first Colt carbine in the AR-15 family and had a 15” barrel (I have 2 of them). Colt 653 M16A1 Carbine had a 14.5” barrel. 723 and 727 had 14.5” barrels, which were then superseded by the 14.5” M4A1 and M4 Carbines. Maybe a Multi-Purpose Carbine is more appropriate for 14.5” Carbines with higher power optics. None of the Carbines are Rifles of any sort though.

[@barrelandhatchet]

No idea, but all great points! Thanks for being here

[@Extremely_Nigh]

They're all just "rifles" or "carbines" unless you are referring to a specific model or designation such as Mk12 SPR. A 16" BCM4 with a 2-10 is not a "SPR"...it's a BCM4

[@LRRPFco52]
