"Civilian" GUN KIT - 11 Essential Items for 2024

[@Bill-vo1wn]

After open Boarders for 4 years every FAMILY needs this kit. WAKE up AMERICA 🇺🇸

[@sarahwilliamson9480]

Very nice setup. I would add a couple of items if there is room. A fixed blade knife, small ear pro such as foam or gel, a couple of bandanas for sweat or as a rag to get mud off a lens, etc., and a small bottle of gun oil. If there is room.

[@loboloco866]

KZbin was created for people to find popular videos: think Janet Jackson's Superbowl incident (which happened a little over a year before the website opened to the public) or "Lazy Sunday" of SNL fame (which came out ten months after the website was open).

Nice kit! I used to buy a minimum of 7 mags for each AR I own. Going off of what I carried during my deployments, 210 round combat load. Plus 3 mags of 9mm for the beretta. Now I buy a minimum of 10 mags for any firearm I own. Can never really have too many mags though.

After Grenada, I got 7 223 mags. 7 45 mag. Such a long time ago. May need to visit the gun shop soon. Ammo, mags and more.

[@TubeDeviant]

Agreed. You can never have enough mags, especially when anti-gunners are constantly trying to ban everything.

[@TisiphonesShadow]

For people looking for a great gun light.... the Streamlight Polytac X fits standard light mounts and works with both 18650 rechargeables and DL123 batteries. Best thing is that you get 3+ hours of life out of the light per charge/set of batteries at 600 lumens. The extra modes (like strobe and low) can be locked out as well, allowing for quicker light manipulation. They're also light-weight and tough. Oh, and they sell for around 50 bucks. I have several on my guns and have used the lights on duty for the past four years. Spare rechargeable batteries are cheap, so I stick with those.

Add a fixed full tang bush knife, a medium to large folder knife, and a multi tool such as a leatherman. Throw in a boonie hat for good measure and a pair of gloves.

I live in the woods, longest clear shot is maybe 50 yards. I run a eotech with 3x flip to side magnifier. Feels perfect for me.

[@AnthonyBattagliaPTE]

Nice. I am looking at a magnifier. With my older eyes, I think I need a 6x. I live in the woods too, but I can stretch out to 150 - 200 if needed. Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours!

[@tpridd346]

Add a fixed blade knife like the mini K-Bar. I cut a piece of sponge just slightly larger than the cavity in my pistol grip and from the top, inserted allen keys and hex keys for the possible maintenance items (now they're always available) and from the side of the sponge, I cut a slot for a plastic wrapped CR2032 battery spare for the optic. Other than that, nice kit.

[@loboloco866]

Right on agree.

[@Scarredfan]

If you're working an 11.5" 77gr OTM are extremely good and of course the most - second most abundant round should be the green tips.

[@coreystephenson7329]

I carried a 20 inch for a whole deployment. Loved it

[@Carnaln8ure]

I like the kit. My first purchase for my first AR 15, a SOLGW (Sons of Liberty Gun Works) 16" Loyal 9 FSB (forged front sight base), LFT (liberty fighting trigger) was the Magpul R44 hard case with DAKA grid system. After that I had to update the handguard to the Magpul MOE MLOK handguard for a mid length gas system. I got a M1 padded sling, the Magpul bipod and an AFG (angled fore grip) three OEM magazines and of course, ammo. I am looking at lights and optics currently. I just recently zeroed the Magpul flip up rear reticle that came on it. I also plan to upgrade the carbine adjustable stock that came with it. Strong likelihood that will also be a Magpul product. The one on it is functional but not ideal.

[@kevinmcree8959]

An option I could suggest would use angled BUIS if you're using a LPVO. I found the angled sights to useful if you are using magnification at the time. A quick turn of the rifle allows the back up sights instead of trying to sight through a LPVO. Great video with very useful info.

[@ryanhubler16]

Only thing that I would add is spare battery for optic/ light in a bag with whatever tool you need to change it quickly.

[@jimbobborg22]

I will preface this with I have never bought a complete AR rifle. For those of us on a budget, buying quality parts every month gets us a quality rifle with better parts that we pick is a better way to go. That $1500 rifle is now $100-200 a month without interest. Buy the stripped lower, get a good trigger, basic M4 buffer tube with spring and buffer, and the stock you want will take you a couple of months. Barrel, upper receiver, gas block, and hand guard will take 2-3 months on that budget. An armorer will put the whole thing together (properly) for (around me) $150. Get basic irons until you can afford an optic. I personally went with Vortex Strike Eagles as they are priced decently and are good enough glass to do what I want. It might take you a few months, but you'll get a great rifle kit without dropping a lot of cash at once. Just my take.

[@AnthonyBattagliaPTE]

Great advice! I'd do a video on that, BUT KZbin would have a fit. Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.

[@gator7082]

Good stuff, I always appreciate a sane approach to being prepared. I agree on the 16 inch, it covers all the basis I do the same thing you do and have multiple optics assigned to a gun. A good drill for anyone wondering is to swap out optics, to include irons, at the range while shooting to understand if there are any noticeable shifts in zero. With modern optics and good mounts I’ve never really noticed a change in zero by removing or remounting them. I would be curious as to other’s experiences.

[@edmill9159]

Aero precision offers a small entire internal parts kit for around $40-50 incase you lose a small spring of something that goes inside the AR, I think that’s crucial, 1 small part hits the ground and vanishes into the abyss that AR is useless. Awesome video & setup broski

Olight is a great option instead of surefire or stream light. They recharge using a cord so there’s no batteries to worry about just a cord that you might need to recharge it and they are basically the same cost. The Olight might actually be a little bit cheaper.

3:35, 16" does not maximize the 5.56. 20" barrels maximize the round. 16" is because apparently, everyone will be deploying from vehicles and doing clearing of buildings.

[@steveturners1258]

Where I live, and in several other states, I have to transport rifle cased, unloaded, and separate from ammunition; your having loaded mags in the same case will be frowned at by an anti AG. No such impediment for an AR pistol though - you can have it loaded and at the ready. Just a thought. IANAL. 16-inch barrel surely allows to use almost the full potential of the cartridge (only marginal gain from there to 20 inch,) but with 10-inch barrel you only lose 300 fps - which is mere 10% of velocity and 20% of energy.

[@scottkailey1]

Vortex spitfire 3x is what I run. If you need close in you should be using your irons.

[@MrSoonermadman]

Good vid bro.. This is apparently a video of what to have on your rifle…..I misunderstood the title. Ranger bands work good for slings as well. They have a million uses and are very very affordable.

[@xforce708]

Awww man! Good kit. So many different scenarios we can all dream up. One thing I’d want to add to your box though and I never really see anyone addressing it. But some minimalist type, easy on way to carry those mags. I’m not talking plate carriers and full kits. Any ideas? Because it’s something I’ve tried to come up with that’d pack light. I bought a Ronin by Condor, but it doesn’t really fit the bill for what I’m thinking.

[@AnthonyBattagliaPTE]

Trex Arms has some stuff for that. Ready Rig and other light weight chest rigs that hold mags etc. Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.

[@gavincline209]

Kinda swapped it up. Instead of 5.56. I went 13.5 ar-10 in 308. Same level of ammo availability, any place that sells ammo will have 5.56 and 308. Smaller size then 16” 5.56 and still a lot more punch out to even 350yrds then 5.56 muzzle energy from the shorty. I’m actually looking into 1 of those thermal red dots for it from holosun, plus a magnifier 3x. Realistically it’s built to be a 0-275yrd rig. No need for more than that truly. Side arm wise I’d grab my canik, but just preference over glocks. 9mm is plentiful like 308, so never a worry of ammo shortage. Even though my EDC is a xdm 10mil.

[@johnphelps7519]

Cleaning/lube kit for each 5. Repl. springs for both 6. 5 loaded spare mags ea 7. Supressor 8. Quality knife 9. Multi tool/armorer tool 10. Spare optics batteries 11. Cased eye protection 12. Ear protection 13. Binoculars 14. Waterproof notebook/pen

What about hearing protection?

[@mrconfidential638]

Depending on your Terrain, you're better off going with a 3X or 5x prism along with canted reflex sight. It will keep things lighter and more practical.

I'd throw a light and a red dot on that pistol. I also like a red dot/magnifier combo on the rifle, but you could mount a red dot on the LPVO. Also a pretty good idea to have Fix-it Sticks (or equivalent) on board AND make sure you've got all the bits you need for YOUR platforms/equipment.

[@AnthonyBattagliaPTE]

Good ideas. Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours!

No one ever mentions spare parts or repair parts for their firearm(s).

Where is a POM pepper spray? Something between a harsh word and a gun?

11.5 AR supremacy. With a 18in spr upper swap out as an option.

How does a guy get a case like that with the foam in it but every item in the case has been notched out for each item. How does a guy put those notches in the foam?

[@albinosquirel14]

I've got the same Plano as him from academy, it comes with two foam plates in the bottom half of the case, one solid in the bottom and one that's a bunch of 1x1 inch squares that are half connected. Whatcha do is trace the gear on the squares and then pop them out to make holes for your gear. It's super easy and very customizable!

Ever tried ranger bands? Pretty cheap and secure.

[@AnthonyBattagliaPTE]

I haven't. I have "harbor freight" bands, lol. Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours!

[@SortoMario89]

@@AnthonyBattagliaPTE I’ve been running them for years. Currently have them on all rifles with slings and for cable management as well. Way preferred over zip ties, however, I did just order a manta kit.

Unfortunately I reside in a socialist state (Massachusetts). Thus my kit is not my first choice. But I do have pack able 😉 stuff for the protection of myself and my family.

[@AnthonyBattagliaPTE]

Sorry about your state. Thanks for the comment. God bless you and yours.
