  1. Hey Clint I just purchased one of the Radical AR-15 from classic. I have only seen a couple videos from you briefly going over the Radical brand. Do you have any videos at the range with a Radical AR putting rounds down range and thoroughly reviewing one? Thanks

  3. No AR yet. Still saving in Massachusetts where if you want a preban AR then plan on spending 3K plus 6.5% tax. It’s a sellers market in our locked down state.

  4. When you buy the rifle with the upgraded furniture they overcharge the f out of you for it. Better off buying it seperate and installing yourself. I have seen shops try to jack up the price of an AR $300 because it had a $30 magpul handguard and stock on it.

  7. Washington State just passed a bill that restricts magazines to 10 rounds which goes into affect in July. If you already have standard 30 round magazines, you can keep them though.

  18. Hey Clint, you should also talk about getting first aid training if you are going to be around guns. You may never know when you may need to put it to use for someone or even saving your own life in a emergency.

  21. Been contemplating my first AR for a while (got to move out of California first)..Was going to go with a Sport 2 but now I’m convinced to drop 950 on a rifle..decided on Franklin Armory M4 with the binary trigger, got a rail, trustworthy company, and a competitive rifle with a ‘fun’ switch

  34. I built my first AR. I feel like it gave me a great insight into how it works. I started on the low price end (PSA). I have upgraded parts over the last year and built a rifle that works great and I love to shoot. But let’s say my “cheap” BCG fails me. I now have a solid understanding of the gun and can make an informed choice on upgrading it. There are lots of online tutorials and guides that help with the assembly and opinions on what will make the gun better or more reliable/efficient. This takes a lot of uncertainty out of going in blind. Of course, some special tools are also required, but the initial purchase price is often lower so the tools don’t really increase the price. If I look back at what I have spent I probably could have bought a descent midgrade rifle, but I spent a little bit at a time instead of one lump sum.

  35. 1 – Don’t buy from a company who is ok with stripping away your Rights.

    2 – Don’t buy from a company who is ok with stripping away your Rights.

    3 – GFY for advertising a Springfield in the thumbnail and then preaching about the 2nd Amendment.

  42. If you’re a new firearm owner and want an AR and is tentative and on a budget, get a S&W M&P-15. After you get to know it and the AR platform and want something higher end, Daniel Defense. That should take care of about 90% of your AR need for most.

  43. Before you buy anything go check out bear creek arsenal and their MOA guarantee and their awesome prices. Lifetime guarantee that they stand behind!

    Everyone that has bought one in the past 2 years loves them for the price. Don't let anyone say otherwise!
