  1. Good evening Bullitt! Your video's are exceptional and thorough. My question: Is the LMOS JP bolt carrier a .223 or 5.56? The LMT bolt is a 5.56, and I am aware of how close they are in size, but I wanted to ensure that they are compatible prior to my massive upcoming purchases. Thanks again!

    V/r,
    Kevin C.

  2. beautiful rifle, i have been watching your channel for a while. i will finally be in my first 3 gun match in Greenville sc in February. But one small tip if i may, the noveske barrel nut has very small hash marks on the egdes to help with indexing. it took me a couple times of installing one to realize it. but if you like the hash mark on the top up with your gas tube hole after you season your threads its perfect. takes alot of the error of eyeballing with the screw holes out of it.

  3. Quick question – I purchased a 18" Wylde 3 Gun barrel (Rifle Length Gas System). Since its a rifle length gas system do I need to purchase a rifle length buffer tube, buffer, and spring?

  4. Great video, thank you. I picked up a Black Friday Stretch 16 melonite barrel due to your reviews.
    QUESTION: Would a 16" SLR Hanguard (I think you've had 15" before on your rifle?) ever work over a 16" barrel?

  5. Hi Mac! Another great video! I am building a 3-Gun rifle using this barrel and compensator. Do you have any particular ammo you favor for this setup? M193 ball? HPR/A Max? Mostly just for the "pit style" matches with nothing farther than 100-200 yards out…thanks!

  6. If weight isn't a primary concern…is there a list of parts or manufacturers you'd recommend for a 3-gun/plinking rifle? Something nicer than an off the shelf rifle but not a super high dollar super custom build either.

  7. I'm working on my first AR build and still waiting for all of my parts to ship. Do you ever have any issue lining up the gas block with the barrel's gas port? Best way to ensure alignment?

  8. Thanks for posting this. I've been thinking that I would like to take my "flash suppressor" off and get a "muzzle break". I've been waiting to see what you have been using that works well.

  9. Great video as always Mac! Can't wait for the next one lol.
    have you looked into the JP gas ring for your bolt. It's one continuous gas ring. Small upgrade, that could save a stage lol …

  10. Enjoy your videos and very informative…just started 3 gun at our club last month. The question here is…what would the cost of this build be for us non-connected folks be? We need to know. Thanks

  11. Nice rifle, i would have a tough time going away from the TR24, I have one that's a german crosshair model and one that has the green triangle, light weight no batteries and the green triangle is like a red dot up close, if I were you and you truly liked that optic why not just get the TR25? it's lighter than that Razor.

  12. Hey Mac, excellent video and great series! Just wondering your thoughts on weight differences on billet vs forged receivers, it sound like you were more interested in the nicer finish for consistency over any potential weight savings but would love to hear your thoughts!
