The new 5.7x28mm Upper Kit from CMMG needs a platform. Let’s see what a combination of Palmetto State Armory, Rise Armament, CMMG, and Tom’s Tactical can do. Some of these elements are bargain-basement but still up to the task, freeing me to put my money where I want it most.
This rig:
1. Palmetto State Armory Lower
2. Tom’s Tactical LPK
3. Rise Armament LE-145
4. CMMG Ripbrace

Overpriced and bad customer service ill pass
Hey cool, there are 5.7 AR kits now? Hopefully this can help the cartridge catch on, high velocity PCCs sound like fun.
Pretty neat cartridge Brother, hope I get a chance to try it out some day. 😃 👍 🇺🇸
Like to see the costs, too. A new OTS gun is around $1,300 or so.
Heck yes I love the Imperials colors.
Great video! Nice work man! A part of me wanted to see you attempt the front takedown pin. I always do those in the living room and point it down at the carpet. Yes I’ve shot them like tiny rockets and got pretty frustrated once.
If you need a small grip for kids ide recomend the hogue plastic grips they are very light weight and very thin.
What is up with the video timeline? That is fucking awesome, I havent seen that before.
I am very interested in this project.
Sounds great! I’ve been thinking about the 5.7×28, meet little cartridge!
I tried one of those rise triggers, I really wanted to like it but I had to return it. It would either double tapping or would not reset. Basketcase of a trigger. I read a ton of other people had the same problem. My guess is that by now they've gotten better, but they never addressed it as a common issue. It's like they just tried to keep selling the bad triggers while they quietly put out the market ready counterparts
Yeah man I get the sentiment, but the pivot pin tool is $5. I bought it thinking you have to have it, I had no idea it was such a fiasco lol
Cmmg also sells the barrel and bolt combo so you can build it exactly how you want. I think this is my next gun.. always wanted a 5.7 now its practical.
You gained a new subscriber. 👍
This was a damn good video. Thanks!
Does this use a magwell insert for 5.7 magazines?
When I taught my daughter to shoot an AR she really liked the A2 grip, works good for a smaller hand. Started her off with a .22lr conversion. I can see the 5.7mm as great start too
So how is that oil on tacos? The Doc said I need to change my coal- ester- oil. So Im looking for a better oil.
Why was the ammunition tamed down? Do you think we will be able to hand load this caliber?
The Aero Precision M4E1 lower with the threaded screw in lieu of the bolt stop roll pin is amazing. Between that and the integral trigger guard, I never want to assemble any other kind of lower.
That safety looks out of spec, it's not laying flush with the safety stop, which usually means the safety was not drilled properly for the detent. Do you notice that it's not locking up tight with the detent, or is the safety kind of weak while engaging and disengaging?
The cure is to shoot 458 socom 😂🤣, waiting on some 458 videos, keep the videos coming!
Great video! Thanks man
Not first mofos. Who's not your daddy?
The cure of that fever is more cow bell
