First AR's & My Thoughts On Them Now

[@yuulb.alwright9920]

Glad you’re working with TA targets, those guys have a real vision

[@GUNMENusa]

Those who get it, get it

[@RuckCancer]

My dude!! Hope to see you at the gundies! You motivated me to do videos this year after my dad passed and I got nominated too man it’s been paying off 🥺🙏🏽

[@GUNMENusa]

Dang dude I’m so proud of you. Hard life things suck. Stoked to meet you at the gundies!!

[@RuckCancer]

@ congrats too btw! Been voting for you everyday!

[@newdefsys]

Several years ago, Larry Vickers interviewed BCM CEO, Paul Buffoni, and at that time BCM was largely just a retailer. The company employed engineers to design many of their products, but farmed out most of the manufacturing to sub-vendors. BCM did do final assembly on their firearms, though, and they have always been on top of their QC, (Buffoni wants BCM and his Gunfighter brand to be associated with quality). But, yeah. There's a 90% chance that any BCM product you buy was actually manufactured by another company.

[@loganwykstra7922]

That's how the game is played I guess

[@thawackie2]

quite a few companies are just design and qc brands

[@newdefsys]

@@thawackie2 Very true.

[@jacksoneverett5817]

The blackout build inspired my first… but it has changed a lot as well. Love it!

[@dimwitrj]

BCM is not Bear Creek fyi. They're on different ends of the of the quality spectrum.

[@jomuiu]

You got my vote, hope you win! You deserve it

[@GUNMENusa]

🥲 thanks duuuude

[@BeleagueredCastle-hk2vv]

The primary issue with both rifles is camouflage. It blew my mind we didn't camouflage our rifles in the regular Army, snipers excluded, the brass would go through uniform changes frequently for the best blend-factor but continue with single color sticks of metal and plastic.

[@TylerTrimnal]

Love the first pistol build aesthetic. I'm stealing the sling secured in the brace strap mod!

[@HotMicSystems]

Huge fan of people putting the holosun 510c on high end builds, the optic just rocks. Plus some bear creek love. Nice vid man keep it up. Slap a diefreeco kung fu grip with a plug on that and it would be *chef's kiss*.

[@TheCylrin]

Good advice in the Video

[@JosephMarkov]

Literally it would take time. Literally.

[@GUNMENusa]

Lol

[@leem5239]

Whats that tape on the barrel of the second AR for? Also what is it called

[@havoc266]

December range day! ‼️‼️ this upcoming weekend?! Friday Saturday Sunday?! We can run it at the farm 🤙🏼

[@1999zaldivar]

Did you cerakote the outer part of the Holosun or did you buy a replacement aftermarket part. I really like how it looks like that.

[@GUNMENusa]

That was cerakoted with the build!

[@beaubmarshall]

What is the fde cover you have on the Holosun 510c?

[@davidhudson2527]

GUNMEN'S videos are top shelf in content and quality and he doesn't waste time by doing talkative 30 minute videos either. 😁

[@GUNMENusa]

🥹 I try

[@atlfat9682]

Where can I find that hand stop on the brown Ar pistol??

[@dauntusgaming]

What do you think about Aero M4E1 stripped lowers for a premium build on say an Sig Spear LT?

[@GUNMENusa]

I would lean in a different direction for a while. I’ve heard aero isn’t in a good spot right now and their quality is decreasing

[@dauntusgaming]

This is good advice. Thank you!

[@m4e1supremacy]

I would recommend psa or anderson over aero as of late for stripped lowers, despite my username.

[@dauntusgaming]

@@m4e1supremacy😂 why would you say that specifically? I already ordered one but am wondering what I am looking for in terms of defects. Lower parts tolerances? May seating issues? I have others that have been great, but now I’m hesitant.

[@yellowsaurus4895]

​@@dauntusgaming I mean if it's in spec it's in spec, right? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's all you really need from a lower. I say give it shot since you've already ordered it anyway. For what it's worth my main beater build is an Aero and I've never had any issues with it, though mine's the heritage tac-m4 with the old roll marks, not an m4e1. So it would predate any more recent QC issues they may be going through now

[@iPaintCars_215]

Bcm upper receivers are my go to just for the thermal fit.

[@GUNMENusa]

Facts

[@philclodfelter5994]

Do you stay with 5.56 or do you do a build for a specific caliber in mind?

[@GUNMENusa]

That depends on what I’m using it for! Usually if it’s 556 it’s a general purpose build but something like a 300 blackout would have more of a direct purpose in mind. Like a close quarters or truck gun.

[@philclodfelter5994]

@ check out 300 HAM’R by Wilson Combat

[@albertptran]

5.56 for ammo costs, 300 blk will burn a bigger hole in your wallet

[@LynKuang]

Where are the Radian haters? Oh, I guess they haven’t left the Reddit forums in time….honestly, the only thing that people hate on with Radian is the price. No one ever complains about actual issues/accidents or any of that. Radian manufactures their own products and their only issue is price. That’s ALL.

[@antoinestephensonphotograp6191]

Ive been considering Geissele Automatics build for my barrell. would you not recommend them

[@GUNMENusa]

I like a lot of what geissele makes. I didn’t talk about a lot of the other manufacturers I like just some of the main ones I build with. I really only use geissele buffer assemblies, and their triggers but I’ve heard good things about their other stuff

[@antoinestephensonphotograp6191]

@@GUNMENusa Thanks for the reply. I was looking to build a AR from scratch. the radian lower but possibly Geissele upper components, but your video made me consider a different direction

[@GUNMENusa]

@@antoinestephensonphotograp6191I would do a radian lower, SOLGW upper in a heart beat. SOLGW uppers are bullet proof. Hope this helps bro!!

[@06lanevomr]

Sons of liberty get their parts from Aero and Ballistic Advantage

[@GUNMENusa]

They quality check the crap outta them regardless haha

[@m4e1supremacy]

they get BA barrels, I'm* not aware of anything else from aero/ba they use. They aren't using their receivers though which is usually what aero is popular for. IIRC they are using zev for receivers.

[@PeterReid1993]

Got my vote! 👍

[@quentincook4104]

Geissele machines everything too

[@jonathanbar1237]

Hey man! I love your videos- exactly what the KZbin gun community was missing. I’m curious your thoughts about the blackout defense quantum DTL Platform!

[@GUNMENusa]

Dude thank you, and I haven’t done anything with blackout yet but I’m going to talk to them at SHOT to see what’s up

[@NobleCherryttv]

mom @gunmenusa dropped a video!!!!

[@K.W321]

Sobbing in 🇨🇦

[@jackeylynch]

what's the weapon light on the second build?

[@SwimTillIDie]

Is there a video about the two tone 300 blackout you have there? I would like to make the same

[@zachsalminen]

Love it! Could you make a cleaning video? Tools, process etc?

[@TheJMan1K]

Thoughts on Rosco barrels? Or for first duty build invest in a DD?

[@loganwykstra7922]

I hear that they are sometimes overgassed which depending on what you want to do can be a pain. I know adjustable gas blocks and all that stuff is a way to get around that but why put another part that could screw up when you could just get a good barrel have it measured to see if it is in spec. Also depends on how many rounds you go though, being honest with how many rounds you burn though helps make a choice. Cause most of us wont burn out even a phosphate POS barrel. Also get a good BCG cause I got a crap one from bear creek where the gas key was not staked correctly and after 300 rounds the gas key shattered into tiny shards.

[@Doran_Krotan]

it upsets me tht i wasnt subbed to this channel before the algorithm.

[@alwayssjerm1]

link for the foldable stock on the 2nd build ?

[@HTMLRu1ezD00d]

A while ago, I read that BCM gets there bolt carriers from Toolcraft.

[@88warheit]

Also, its a good idea to try and use a headspaced bolt made by the same maker of the barrel in the build if you are able.

[@GUNMENusa]

This is true

[@m4e1supremacy]

Who is using bear creek arsenal or psa as an oem for their parts and charging more for it?

[@Swooptywoop]

I built a geissele URGI with all the geissele parts but used the mk8 rail because its stronger and i prefer the grip

[@MiseryDuke69]

Maaaaan. Cantilevered TLR1HL on a magpul Carbine handguard, magpul RSL, Sig Tango4 1-4 in an ATN Thermal mount (backwards lmao), Hera arms vert grip on a pic mount rather than just buying an MLOK magpul grip Only good thing is all this junk was put onto a Colt 6920 so atleast the heart of the gun was decent lol

[@kevinleben579]

My Bca’s evolved into solgw 556 and faxon 300blk. Lowers stay with poverty ponies and I have no complaints. Next lower might be solgw though…

[@GUNMENusa]

Nothin wrong with that. I would take a lower tier lower over a lower tier upper any day. The upper is what takes the real beating.

[@franks6467]

Grouping Aero with PSA and bear creek just feels wrong lol. They are "Affordable" not budget like the others lol.

[@calebbugnacki4282]

Do a Sig Rattler LT build!

[@OldmanJR82]

If you lived in a communist state. What rifle build would you make. I am asking for a friend…..yes a friend. 😂

[@RuckCancer]

I would take the money it costs to build a rifle compliant in those states and move to another state 😂

[@XxxAkwardTurtlexxX]

B5 fin grip and a stock lok and then build to your hearts content, if they have weak arms and desire a regular grip, then I suggest the kingpin and maglock. Finally if they want something to look legal while traveling to the range then comp mag, and when they’re shooting just take it out and use regular mags. Just because we’re restricted doesn’t mean we’re prohibited 🔥 just be smart

[@GUNMENusa]

Haha man I wish I could help but i genuinely have no idea when it comes to state compliant options 😂 I actually do think radian makes a full compliant rifle option?

[@j5po204]

Step one move Step two do not comply either way

[@ProdByDrippN]

I would move

[@emeraldejaneiro9673]

Yo bro hahahah did you screwed pistol suppressor on that black 15

[@kurdi3239]

At this point can you just build all my firearms please

[@thecollector4124]

Hope you win

[@chaoticcaninejb]

BCM amd SOLGW dont make anything in house

[@lsmustangx9010]

Facts!!! But they have great QC compared to others who do

[@albertptran]

Daniel Defense is going down in quality

[@denbo74]

I’d actually recommend NOT building a rifle UNLESS you are willing to put the research in to understand how to do it correctly (torque specs, proper lubricants and greases, etc. You also need the proper tools which is another expense. I love to tinker, am somewhat mechanically inclined, and was willing to watch hours and hours of videos from channels like SOTAR and read forums like m4carbine. I also was willing to spend several hundred dollars on the proper tools. If that isn’t you just buy a good rifle like BCM, SOLGW, etc

[@mb9w]

Bro has no sense of a quality rifle. He just has good audio/visual equipment.

[@GUNMENusa]

lol

[@WhatAboutTheIndividual]

You mad bro?

optics planet doesn’t support the fight for 2A in california. 👎

[@drake0074]

NGL, these guns don't look like they've had thousands of rounds put through them. Was it all at an indoor range?
