I hear there's an immigration pipeline to America Through Mexico. Just get a tan first if that's your plan.

[@NotBOB-81]

You should petition your government... Oops I forgot they don't exactly allow that either over there. You welcome to come over here just don't bring those 🐂 💩 politics with you. We trying to keep America free over here.

As others have said, we’d love to have you! GA is a great state.

Not many places on youtube you can hear someone say "I was the guy who bought these for your machine gun" to a younger veteran. Very informative video, thanks.

Hey navy dudes, thanks for all this good content from an old grunt.

[@Gundyadventures]

I really like the history and the experience behind your choices. Would love to see more like this.

[@Valorius]

They have a bunch of videos with this sort of content you should check back through their feed

[@hateferlife]

Those LMT stocks were all over the place my second tour. Kept the standard OEM M4 stock for many reasons. Also drifted the roll pins from the front sling swivel and used a 203 sight block sling clip. Ounces equals pounds.

[@rpwbass]

Man, what a great thing it is that we get to watch guys like this talk about this stuff. Coch seems like such a humble and nice guy and Dorr brings a lot to the table every time as well. Thank you, gents.

[@zebwalton979]

My takeaway from this wasn’t the evolution of furniture but rather the importance of a fore grip. Many view it as a piece relegated to the dustbin of irrelevance, when in fact it was and still is a vital component of leverage. When professional operators speak on real world applicability of a piece... I listen.

[@trapstar5850]

Coch is the only person I trust with information not like people now that depend on technology or attachments hope to see more from him

[@VTtac802]

I put quad rails, slings, Hogue grips w/ beaver tail, and optics alongside iron sights on all my AR platforms. Thanks for the interesting video.

[@scottfortune9016]

Awesome video. Not being an operator, I never understood the purpose of the foregrip. But after Dorr explained it's uses in CQ fighting to retain your weapon, I can now see the usefulness of it. I've never found them to be comfortable to shoot with. But I now see it's usefulness. So, thank you.

[@TP-ts4bm]

I use a modified c-clamp with my vertical foregrip in order to pull the rifle tight into my shoulder only about a third to half of my hand is actually on the vertical foregrip

[@MrSwccguy]

It's not to retain or strike its literally a grip

[@griffincoordination]

@@TP-ts4bm BCM mod 3 is my favorite. I use that same grip style

[@jackbower8671]

I was just an early 2010's mortar grunt (infantryman that can do math). I love listening to you boys, especially on the gwot and earlier stuff.

[@johndougherty9602]

I went through basic and ait training at Knox as a Cav Scout we had M-16 A1's. My weapon was a tired old dog probably Vietnam era weapon, but was still accurate. Only A 2's we had were M203's and for some reason no one liked the 3 round burst. Our TA-50 then is now prehistoric.

[@ryankraus6936]

I went through Basic at Leonardwood in 93. We used A1's in basic. When I got to the 82nd we had A2's. I think it was like 96ish we started getting the M4. I ETS'd in 99 so I didnt see any of the cool stuff. We just had straight from the factory M4s.

[@charlesgiles4447]

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Crazy how things have evolved. Love y’all’s content

[@OriginofPain]

Hey guys these are always my favorite type of videos. Just talking about the gear. Purchased my first rifle and am using tips to build it. So far have the Daniel Defense M4A1 with DD Vertical foregrip and just basic Magpul back up irons waiting to get SIG Romeo 5 sight and also a sling have watched your sling videos which helped out.

[@squignnewg120]

Light light light 🙌 🙌 🙌

[@OriginofPain]

@@squignnewg120 Oh yes that is another one I need haha trying to decide on light setup haha so many options out there. Thinking something Surefire

[@arnauservaux3936]

Don't get too stuck on the Kentucky go fasters. You won't know you screwed up until you have to carry that rifle at the ready for any amount of time. Ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain. Keep your tech mission specific. Don't need the peq if you don't have the nvg to go with it but seems like you're doing fine so far

[@mikeo8790]

You two are my preferred content providers. keep the info coming.

[@shadoweng15]

I hear it so often--"What works for you." But hearing these seasoned pros say there are only some things, like the buttstock, which really matter by choice, is so refreshing. So may other quasi pros imply or state you have to only go with the Big $ tacticool stuff. Well--no. Dave and Dutch have shown the same thing. I LOVE that Dave says using the M4 grip and buttstock are not only OK, but his PREFERENCE. Way to go, all of you!

[@alejandrogonzales7022]

What's amazing is the exponential growth of available products and parts (let alone how many companies make AR pattern rifles) with the end of the assault weapons ban and start of the GWOT.

[@jonathanrogers9961]

Great vid, thsnks! I think the free float m-lok rails are one of the biggest advancements. So sturdy, so versatile, better accuracy.

[@blackticalmayhem8461]

They look terrible to me 😂

[@JohnSmith-pu3pm]

All my furniture is made out of Sculpey. It works, and it looks super cool since I added the googly eyes.

[@lonniemcmanners6296]

I remember most of this stuff and the simple change that can make a big difference from man to man.

[@i.r.oldairborneviking2823]

The M16A1 is what I carried while in the Army 1972-75, 82nd Airborne, along with a S&W 38 special, and at times a Colt 1911.

[@erice4611]

Do a review on Piston driven ar’s such as PWS and HK and LWRC. Also do a review on ar magazines and red dot optic brands and types.

[@fudgerounds91]

You mentioned that other nations would buy the A2 front handguard and keep using their A1 rifles with A2 front handguards. Well, Paul Harrell, notable guntuber, typically uses a Colt AR-15 A1 as his demonstration rifle, and his front handguard broke, so he replaced it with an A2 handguard as well.

[@bobbygray496]

Coch: Why did you not talk about the Colt Delta HBAR clone that you had on the table? Inquiring minds would like to know! It did not have the Colt Delta HBAR rear stock...there was also no bipod on it....the 3-9 x 40 rubberized scope looked the same. The Colta Delta HBAR was the finest example of a Colt AR-15 ever made!

[@mikereese15]

Thats awesome being able to see what was actually used and the history of that stuff.

[@slowpokerodriguez3993]

You don't mention that the -A1 triangular handguards were designed to fit any hand by sliding up or down to find the "sweet spot". They did chip easily, but were sturdy enough from a functional standpoint. We would tape them up to prevent rattling and they did make noise it you slapped it against a branch, for example, but I prefer them on the whole.

[@jimsmopars1614]

Awesome chat session guys could watch you guys for hours. 🇺🇸

[@iyn1911]

Thanks for showing your toys and explaining it.

[@WorldwideBushcraftSurvival]

I have really big hands and smaller grips are always a pain for me, especially when having to bend my trigger finger so much to actuate the the bang switch. It seems like everything else, I've come full circle on. Somethings that I've outgrown, I've learned to love again, especially quad rails.

[@joshroten3997]

Good stuff guys! I always enjoy a walk down history lane and seeing the evolution of gear. 👍

[@Durandalski]

Once you know what you like you can just stick with it. I like the bare bones magpul stock, a magpul K2 pistol grip, and the BCM gunfighter vert grip. All my work and play guns pretty much get that setup.

[@josephlong7420]

Thanks guys for the tips, tricks, and showing the evolution of gear.

[@shmave20]

Nice would love a breakdown of the optic evolution you guys used...

[@rippersix293]

C’mon everyone knows the “battery storage” on the LMT stock is for snacks like Slim Jims and Skittles! 😉👍

[@thatsthewayitgoes9]

What about foregrip with the bipod that snapped down from it? Didn’t see that shown

[@dorr600]

I used it on the Scars. Now I just use it to sight in rifles.

[@chairmanofthebored6860]

It shipped with the SCARs we got issued, but they weren't really used

[@miketaylorID1]

Hera Arms foregrip makes a cameo there at the end! Quality German manufacturer who’s design aesthetic is clearly European ’. Not the usual stuff Great video fellas. Always great to learn the origin story of the gear we kinda take for granted nowadays!

[@pedromiguel3227]

Thanks for your expert knowledge and easy going presentation. I was in the Army once, but I’ve already learned a lot from listening. It feels like you’re talking to a neighbor in the back yard.

[@zinoorr1056]

Thanks guys, excellent history lesson and I mean in a respectful way! Would like to hear about personal training that you both do. Thanks again, Love your channel!!!

[@seanwhite304]

Colt XM177E2 , Colt 723 , Colt 727 and Diemaco C8 are my absolute favorite Fixed Carry Handle Carbines . I own all of them now . Had to build out XM177E2 with Brownells Receiver and rest is all Colt . USN was the only ones that adopted M16A3 . That contract was awarded to FNMI . Those A3s are hard to track down these days . M16E1 and M16A1 I believe used Zytel for the Handguard but could be wrong.. I picked up KAC RIS in 2002 and didnt get the RAS until 2006. RIS did not have the set screw and the RAS did.. LMT SOPMOD and VLTOR Stocks , LMT Rear or ARMS Rear sights is what they used early GWOT for their M4A1 Carbines . The M4A1 SOCOM Profile came out in 2003ish . Young lady at CRANE created the drawing to Colt . Colt had absolutely nothing to do with SOCOM Profile and Colt also had nothing to do with MK18 . LMT and Crane are godfathers of the MK18 Barrel . Colt did have the SOUL SOURCE M4 Family Contract for US DOD from 2001 to 2013.. DD Won SOCOM Contract in 2006 for their RIS Rails.. KAC NT4 was one of the first bomb Proof Cans . NSW and CAG used them the absolute most of their MK18s back in the day . I do not know if NT4 was for sure used on 416s when theh first got introduced but I assume they were because SF SOCOM RC hadn't been adopted yet.. LMT ENHANCED BCG/BOLT came out also in 2004ish time period . SOCOM wanted to adopted it because it was superior and also Colt was having QC Issues . It was not adopted because LMT ENHANCED would not cycle reliably in Rifle length gas system . LMT ENHANCED BCG/BOLT was designed for Car Length gas system . Adding that 3rd vent hole was paramount . Their ENHANCED Bolt are virtually indestructible. I can't remeber if it was Crane or CAG but they did 36K round test on one and gave up because they couldn't BRAKE it .. Dream Optic is NF 2.5-10×24 that NSW used MK12 MOD 1 SPRs. I have Centurion MK12 MOD 1 SPR URG and I want that optic so bad to have an accurate Clone Upper . I do need to build out NSW RECCE Rifle . I have the Douglas Barrel and Reciever . Just need the RAIL and Optic.. I could go on for hours talking about US MIL Small Arms and Accessories. I'm for sure a geek when it comes to Mil Small Arms and accessories. . Phenomenal video bros

[@mikebrown9997]

I actually found and bought a handgrip/bipod for my AR15 7.62x39. Pretty handy if are going prone to shoot.

[@f3uibeghardt522]

I remember seeing a picture floating around on the internet of a GWOT-era SEAL. His M4 had an ACOG, but his side rail had an Eotech 512 on the 9 o' clock side rail. I don't know what he was thinking with that idea.

[@tacratt6091]

I am old school I guess, I just prefer quad rails over M-lock. All my rifles have either Knights or Daniel Defense rails. I have CQD sling attachments on most of them also. I bought a couple of the CQD vertical grips several years ago, they are in the safe now becoming collectors items lol, I use either the Knights or Tango down grips. Good stuff guys! I enjoy all your videos!!

[@Mike_Y.]

Great video, thanks guys

[@falcon5215]

new to most things "tactical"...found this very interesting.

[@mikebrown9997]

The bipod is a push button release then when finished press back up into the handle and it locks in.

[@twissted1277]

I'm completely in on the furniture of these guns. Timber Creek from Oregon has some cool stuff. The carbon handguard I have 3 of and will be getting a 4th in green. Also the coolest scope covers I have are from Vector Optics Continental series made from aluminum. As for striker fire triggers! Try a Timney trigger. Your life behind this trigger will change your life.

[@twissted1277]

Make that 4. I just got a gray one in for another build in gray. So 2 black and one in burnt bronze.

[@Echo_Six_Romeo]

Another great informative video, it reminds of the great we were issued in the early 2000. Of the the Corps is last to adopt formidable gear.

[@kingofwishfulthinking2490]

Great video guys! Hoping you can do a video about the evolution of uniforms/gear while ya’ll were in the Teams

[@tacticalhyvecadre1049]

[@WillyRaschke]

Hated the A2 stuff, still not sold on the rail stuff, my newest is an xm177e2.

[@youtubeisinconsistent9169]

Blackwood's trading company is who makes the wood composite grip. They make some pretty interesting designs for grips and stocks...Love that company as well as black guns wood.

[@aznivs8943]

Some of the countries who "just switched out the handguards" included the U.S. I was in the Air Force during the first Gulf War, still rockin' the M-16 and even some 601's believe it or not. If you deployed at the time the armorers would switch out your handguards so it would look like we were using "the newest and most modern equipment"...... Nothing but the best......right...

[@Andolini662]

Coch you should make a video about your workout routine.. and what supplements you’re on 💪🏼

[@jk802]

The way Coch grips those forends (and later says how much he likes BOYd's wood), you know he was in the Navy.

[@voteholyk]

I would have given a brief disclaimer about NFA laws and putting vertical grips on barrels under 16" and that a vertical grip is one that is 90 degrees from the bore axis of the barrel so grips with an 87 degree angles are ok.

[@prongATO]

Prerry sure the reason why the consumer market blew up on the mid 00s is because the “assault weapons” ban was allowed to lapse. ( because it didn’t do anything to crime) I was excited because I could finally get magazines for more than 10 rounds for my Glock 19

[@akforge]

In the early and mid 2000’s the VLTOR Mod Stock and the A.R.M.S. inc. S.I.R. rail system were the cat’s meow and the A.R.M.S. #40 BUIS was really the only game in town for flip up rear sites.

[@scaleworksRC]

I'm pretty happy with a hand stop. That AFG 2 looks appealing, though.

[@334erty]

[@ZebraActual]

If it's Mattel it's swell!! My first issued rifle was a Vietnam era M16.. had a 6 digit serial number but was still accurate despite the crowning.

[@Solly-ow4od]

Good one guys! I think Mattel actually did make some of the “plastics” for the A1.

[@ClassicAirsoft]

A nother really really good video ! Thanks for that =) . Very nice

[@herman66mi83]

Nice video! Good to see everything together

[@manictiger]

I like super aluminums, super steels, grade 5 titanium and polymer case ammo (talk about expensive, though). Ultra-light, but still something that'll probably work 100 years from now, like an heirloom. Interesting point about using the barrel to snap someone out of shock. I guess the spikey flash suppressors I like so much aren't so good for that.

[@andyd2960]

I'm surprised the grip pod didn't make it. Back around 05-06 it was cool. They kinda suck at everything, but it was very popular for a hot minute.

I'm just a former weekend warrior from the eighties that my web choice is what I used is the old Alice web gear. I collect wen gear like many do, I have a molli and I have a Bristish setup from the falk lands to almost era that is really great with a lot of pouch's, other than the mag and canteen pouch's the others are hazy for me to know what their use, so I need to get one of those books on this to help me build the know how and select my user choice. My car set up is the regular M4 (Semi) with 1-4x28 scope and laser, one u tuber think a regular stock is better than a M4 for if you have a jam in the rifle you can bang the butt on the ground to take the stuck shell and I'm thinking that level too. don't have any good NV yet!

The amount of chopped M-16esque builds we had while is in RTASWC LRRP company. In house CQC mods even SPR's never failed ugly as hell.

[@jupiterjunk]

Thank god Colt dismissed C. Reed Knight's invention. This snubbing by Colt, motivated him to manufacture the RIS himself. This got it into the hands of the military MUCH faster because he (the inventor) made the case for it's application/use, instead of a bunch of people, that sat on a board, and didnt understand it's application. ( IMO ) Also, this huge win gave him the capitol to invent the RAS. Where would we be today without RIS and RAS?

[@brianhartford2859]

Again, nother great vid! History of form over function. Way back, i had a full size Colt A2 and a Russian marked AK. That being said, still not sure all this modern sh*t is THAT great. Yeah, i love my aim points and lazers and all that, but when it comes to sheeer simplicity...i can still hit a target in the dark with an dive grade everready and iron sights with near 100 percent accuracy. The truth: there is seldom a place so dark, that point shooting and a basic light source cant get you through. (not that im a crack shot. just train) But as a gear guy, who loves shinies, im am sure someone has retired off of me.
