Scout AR 15: What worked? And what didn't?

Let’s talk about my second favorite rifle in my collection. After multiple challenges and a successful hog hunt, the Scout AR 15 has proven to be more than a collection of components: it’s a purposeful and flexible machine.

To be honest, the performance and handling of this rifle surprised me even though I carefully selected each part to meet a certain need. The total result is even better than I imagined. It’s light, quick, accurate, and just darn handy. Even more surprising, I can pick from a handful of sights and scopes and take care of business at a variety of distances. There were only two let-downs. The Amend 2 magazines stopped working after being loaded for a while, and the .223 chambering didn’t overwhelm big hogs. We’ll fix the latter problem by slapping a 350 Legend upper on top sometime soon.

  1. As to projectile size, I'd suggest shooting hogs with a 55 gr. The heavier bullets have better BCs, but they don't fragment or transfer as much energy as lighter ones do. Using a 77 gr hunting bullet instead of a match bullet may do the job though, but I'd look into lighter options as well.

  2. that is not a silencer. that is a suppressor. silencers are illegal.. right? @The Social Regressive. dude clean your fingernails that 22:44 right hand ring finger nail is gross. 25:54 left thumb. you were supposed to be afforable smart AR guy.. but this seems like just AR guy.. how much have you spent on this rifle now? and all the others you have made? have you sold any of them off? are there buyers for nicely tuned tech? how many hours have you spent.. you need to get back to the ORGINS of this channel we aren't here for Demo Ranch stuff. The Patreon link should have all the tuning, chrono and "boring stuff". One rifle that you are GREAT at and you love. This supposed to be highlights. "SKRATCHESES"? the strap scratched the wiful? Why oh why didn't you just get ONE AK and get good at it.? 28:42 ALSO DID YOU GET NICKED with that stupid IPHONE APP? Have you told people about it? 30:36 So you have a Red dot and a scope. why did you not mount the red dot on side left, keep scope top and drop brass down. Keep it mounted! 37:19 no.. plastic is nonsense unless you leave them 80% empty. They need metal lips. like normal mags. Also heat will deform plastic. and affect all the other rounds. every IraqVet88 always drops in that drum and it will always fail… I will delete this in a day don't worry. please for FFS get back to affordable and smart tech.

  3. I tried to relay this message to as many people as I could and sure enough I had over 50 notifications turned off and was unsubbed from about 20 different channels i was previously subbed to before I found this out this morning and fixed it

    Everyone be sure to check your subscriptions as you tube is going thru not only deleting them but turning off notifications for them also

    Found about 50 of my subscriptions with the notifications turned off and a bunch of subscriptions missing yesterday on my own channel and no doubt that only happens to gun channels and no one else
    Found this out for a fact when I saw 204 subs on my channel this morning and only about ten minutes later I only had 202

    Ask yourself this question, Who subs to a channel then unsubs minutes later?…The answer is no one but you tube would do a thing like that and to only gun channels is what I'm seeing
    If your wondering why your view count is down that is why
    Also because you tube and google do not have drug testing for their employees is the only other reason I can think of
