Is The VK-1 The Future of AR-15 Rifles?

[@TJ09083]

The gas block is self regulating. It's not adjustable. I've had mine for about a month. It is truly amazing to shoot. Love your video!

[@SUPERIOROUTFITTERSTX]

Yeah made the correction in the description after we posted 🙂‍↕️

[@gtspdracer2]

How is it compared to the lwrc a5? I know this is a little lighter then the a5.

[@SUPERIOROUTFITTERSTX]

Just as reliable, lower profile, lighter and shoots just as good if not a little better.

[@smptactical259]

My LWRC M6IC-SPR 14.5 with a PW comp weighs in at 7.3lbs, quite chonky but not quite as porkulent as my HK MR556 (older heavy barrel) coming in at 8.3lbs both without any jewelry. I also own POF P415 Edge, PWS Mk1 Mod 1 and a few custom build with Superlative Arms piston system.

[@JonHicks-p9z]

Great review!!

[@JasonCoin-e9y]

wow.....i know nothing about guns but he is so knowledgeable!! Good job guys!!!

[@charleseric75]

Absolutely love the run-down guys. I need to bring my 10.5's with KGM and or Hux cans out and do another video with y'all.

[@christopherparsons4642]

which flow through can are you using or do you recommend ? I know the 13.7" variant of this comes with either the Dead air QD flash hider or the Huxwrx QD hider, I'm lefty too, so wondering which version to go with based on the QD set up and which company makes the best flow through can ?

[@elainebolling505]

Interesting, I learn a lot from your videos

[@T20-c8f]

Sounds pretty awesome! Love that altered Cam path is starting to get the attention it rightfully deserves. I will always side with stoner and Karl Lewis on the DI vs piston debate. I think DI is superior in every way except when I need to clean it lol. It seems they took their inspiration from the LMT Enhanced BCG and Bolt. Lewis designed a beast of a BCG and bolt in the early 00’s. Arguably the most expensive setup and hardest to find on the market, but also the best addition you can have for the carbine length gas system so you can reap the benefits of the carbine length gas system. Because it is superior on 16” and less rifles. At least for reliability sakes.

[@Bwilly04091]

Never heard of them. Now you’ve got me interested 🤔.

[@SUPERIOROUTFITTERSTX]

Thats the goal!

[@PeasantKing-od5lg]

That’s what he got paid for 😂😂

[@SUPERIOROUTFITTERSTX]

No shilling here. We choose what we like and what we think our customers can benefit from.

[@boygonewhoopdataZZ]

The dumping of the gas happens at the gas block not the bcg. I have the DI variant, it's like a pof roller cam pin but thats about it other than increased dwell time for ejection.

[@charleseric75]

Sir gas does release at the gas block, but the dwell change at the carrier reduces chamber pressure resulting in a smoother operation overall.

[@ruby1zero]

Francis got that dawg in him

[@patriotgunner]

He said they ran it hard today, they put about 125 rounds thru it he said??? Haha, no that's not running it hard at all haha!! Geez.. He said it's the best gun out there he's had experience with and got all that with only 125 rounds?? I love piston guns and thinking about buying one of these but these guys I swear.

[@SUPERIOROUTFITTERSTX]

In that session we put about 200 rounds. We had multiple sessions of long strings of fire. Two of the days visible.

[@scmomentum]

.308/7.62 coming?

[@SUPERIOROUTFITTERSTX]

Not that I'm aware of, although I would love to see it.

[@araxavionfinnie552]

Have we never heard of PWS?

[@SUPERIOROUTFITTERSTX]

Of course! I personally own one. And the VKTR 13.7 is a far better shooting experience compared to my 16” PWS. Just because it’s a piston gun doesn’t make it the same.

[@timb8970]

Of course it’s $2200! Over $2K is the new normal.

[@SUPERIOROUTFITTERSTX]

There are some solid options under 2K and even on the 1K line.

[@PeasantKing-od5lg]

Tombstone tactical has the 13.7 FDE for 1800. It’s the top of the line one. I almost bought it, but thought it was a little risky with it being so new. I got a Super Duty instead. Plenty of reputation.

[@PeasantKing-od5lg]

I do love the specs, and the way it looks though. Once more people have them, I might acquire one.

[@coach-]

oh, so just a griffin or ADM? lol, so innovative.

[@SUPERIOROUTFITTERSTX]

Griffin and ADM primarily do DI guns. Neither include a low profile single piece op rod piston system and the rest of what makes the VK-1 interesting. With the exception of the buffer retainer, If im remembering correctly. They are not the same.

[@boygonewhoopdataZZ]

Its MVB. They bought their patent

[@SUPERIOROUTFITTERSTX]

@@boygonewhoopdataZZ For the lower? Regardless, the least remarkable part on on the VK-1 imo

[@patriotgunner]

He needs to do more research before making videos. No it doesn't have an adjustable gas block and no it's not a 10.3" barrel, it's a 10.5" barrel.

[@SUPERIOROUTFITTERSTX]

The correction was made in the description of the video, and yes you're right about the barrel length. Although pretty pedantic. Thanks for watching.

[@ninjaking6692]

The enhanced buffer pin is a $15 part. The ambi lower is only a bolt release. The larger rear end of the bcg is neither new nor uncommon. All im saying is think twice before buying something like this.

[@SUPERIOROUTFITTERSTX]

Hmmm 🤔… Nope still cool. :)
