In this video Chad and I detail some of our AR-15 builds and talk about what upgrades we have made to our guns as well as detail other options available. This is a fairly long video but packed with as much information as we could squeeze in. Hopefully this will help you understand some of the reasoning behind certain upgrades and what to look for and expect from quality components.

  2. Forging does not involve liquid metal, that’s casting. Forging and billet aluminum are extremely similar in structure, however forged aluminum is actually considered more uniform in grain because of the extreme heat used, while billet or CNC machined aluminum is a little less uniform because of the way it’s cut/shaved. I’m not a gunsmith, however I am a performance engine technician. Forged/billet pistons are generally regarded as equal in strength, billet tends to be a bit more expensive because billet parts are custom CNC machined which require time and not to mention a large chunk of material to modify. Forging has a bigger initial capital investment due to the tooling, but each part is easier/quicker to make. Forging is a more streamlined process that is used in large scale manufacturing because of the tooling involved. Forging involves heating a piece of metal, roughly similar in shape and size to the final product, and then essentially stamping the metal or bending/crushing it to shape. The forged part is then typically drilled and further machined to specification. Both forging and billet aluminum are fairly uniform in molecular layout but forged parts are considered more consistent in structure throughout the material. Price will typically be cheaper on forged parts because they are often made in higher volume, while CNC billet parts aren’t as common because this process is usually used in low volume or custom applications.

  4. I'm wanting to get in to firearms mostly rifles but there is so many different companys and styles I don't even know where to get started I own a 22 and a Henry all weather 45/70 could u give me some advice

  7. New subscriber. Good info for my first 80% build. Thanks!
    Video was not too long at all. Could of been longer! I'm just getting into the AR craze. I'll probably start with a couple Anderson 80% lowers with stripped uppers for good fit. One pistol and one carbine. I'm also looking into 308 to replace my old FAL, so maybe 3 AR platforms before I die Haha. Sucks getting old kids. In my day all we had was Shotgun News and Century to get cool stuff from. The internet is amazing! I don't think we would have 1/4 the AR options now without it. Wish I could find a RH side charging AR upper (like SKS) in 308! Maybe I'll just build a 80% Dragnov instead of AR 308?

  13. Going over your older video from the beginning to the present. Law changes that hurt the sporting gun trade as of today to a unsure future. I know from being a member of Milatery to gun club to being gun less in the draconian Untied Kingdom.(does not feel United since the lie of the towers murder make) I hope America stays the home of the brave and the home of the free. Keep the quality videos coming.

  15. Just watched this and I have to say both of you show great charecter and skill in your speech. As a new comer you both gave me great insight to things I will be needing for some time to come. I will be using this video as a reference. For the record I was the 666 thousanth viewer. God bless us all.

  19. Do you have a most durable AR15 build? If I'm putting down a big chunk of change for a gun, it's got to be extremely durable and reliable. I've seen quite a few videos of durable and reliable AR15 builds in under $450. Can you do a video on a durable and reliable AR15 build within a reasonable price point?
