Ukraine built a sniper rifle... is it any good?! (Zbroyar UAR-10 Review!)

There's a lot of big-name video content out there on guns used in the Russo-Ukrainian war, but none of them have actually nutted up and visited the war zone. Today, we're diving into the Zbroyar UAR-10 Sniper Rifle. This piece of precision engineering hails from Ukraine, crafted by Zbroyar, a company more known for its high-precision sports and hunting rifles. The UAR-10, chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO, is based on the iconic AR-10 design. But the question on everyone's mind has been: how does an AR-10 variant produced outside of America stack up? Is it as good as its reputation suggests? Join us as we seek answers RECOIL style -- by field testing the UAR-10and getting feedback from Ukrainian snipers.
What's Inside This Video:
- A straightforward yet intriguing introduction to the Zbroyar UAR-10 Sniper Rifle, teasing its potential amidst growing curiosity.
- Real-world testing in Ukraine, putting the UAR-10 through its paces to reveal its true capabilities.
- My personal take on how the UAR-10 measures up, especially considering its unique origins and design principles.
- Feedback from Ukrainian soldiers providing firsthand insights into the rifle's field performance.
- A peek into the craftsmanship behind the UAR-10, hinting at the depth of quality Zbroyar brings to the table, with a promise of more discoveries to come.

I'd be nice to see the UAR-15 (Z-15) and UAR-10 (Z-10) make it stateside. I'd like to get my hands on one.. Daniel Defense had a hand in Zbroyar getting the licenses to make the AR-15 and AR-10 platform rifles. From what I've read. the barrels & trigger group were provided by Daniel Defense.

[@christerlarsson5232]

Would definitely want one for my collection. However, the Z-008 Tactical Pro Sniper Rifle is also a very fine precision rifle

[@XTRaptor]

He said the barrel was button cut and I don’t think Daniel Defense does button cut. They cold hammer forge their barrels

[@Antykain]

@@XTRaptor You are correct.. But, DD still did supply the barrel blanks to Zbroyar to be finished at one of their in-house manufacturing facility. This applies to the Z-15 (UAR-15) as well. If I am not mistaken, Zbroyar manufacturers about 85% of the UAR-10/Z-10 in-house. Pretty impressive imo. Eventually, hopefully imports models will make their way stateside.

[@gost]

Ukraine lacks money. Russia exports everything the same way as before the war or even better. And the West is acting like nothing wrong with this. Ukrainian economy is ruined and Russia destroyed every logistics channel it could. And even more, Poland is blocking the border, making Ukraine weaker. And that's not all, Russia destroyed the huge part of Ukrainians energy generation sector this March. The whole Western World is not capable to provide air defense system to protect Ukrainian critical infrastructure. 2-3 Patriots with 5-10 less capable European systems, that's all that 50% of world's economy can afford to protect it's "Ukrainian investment", "eastern NATO flank", and "the biggest European country". Sometimes you think that Russia is more lucky with its allies.

[@panthermartin7784]

@@KevinHuff23 They are also producing an AR platform for the first time under war conditions and making kill shots at night at long ranges, no American made AR has EVER performed under those conditions, EVER, took years just to get that platform to function correctly. The Ukeranians will fine tune it and that platform will exceed US spec easily, I mean the Turks are producing $400 1911's in .45 ACP that are out shooting $1500 America made 45's. Id rather comment on the obvious accuracy of the barrel than tooling marks on the bolt that contributes nothing to confirmed kills at night at long range. Remember they are just starting out, the Ukeranians are brilliant at taking scrap and making wonders out of that scrap, these are people that make inhouse drones out of refurbished components then fly them to Moscow for bbq events .

[@beardoe6874]

Metallurgy, heat treat and finishing play a big role beside just getting the dimensions right. A lot of countries just don't have the same ordinance steels to work with. That's not an insurmountable roadblock but it can require a lot of R&D to modify a design to work with parts you can make instead of just making dimensionally correct parts. So it's a little more complex than just getting dimensions right.

Nearly everything we gave Ukraine is old tech. I won't argue on how much money we should spend on them or what not, but equipment wise we are mostly just getting rid of old stuff sitting around, or still used but at the end of its lifespan. We have learned a lot of good information by putting our old stocks in Ukraine, and we are seeing possible changes in our own military because of what we have learned against a peer advisory. Not to mention because most stuff belongs to corporations, US made equipment is every country in the world. Even military equipment/tech has been sold to Russia and other country's that the US as a country would never sell this tech to.
