A thinner profile barrel will cool faster than a thicker one.
Good vid, Randy! I was happy to see the Faxon Gunner series included in your lineup. I have the 16" Gunner .223 Wylde, and it's sweet! Shrouded by a 15" AT3 Tactical M-LOC and backed with a Geissele Super 42, it is an absolute pleasure to shoot!!! I'm sure handguards and buffer systems are coming in this series, and I'm curious to see if either of my choices make the cut!
Well Ryan I sure hope BRS will welcome you back full time…….looks like the idiots in government passed HR 1808 Assault Rifle Ban. What does this mean for AT3 Tactical?
Hey randy. Does live phytoplankton really help with dynoflaglates? . I have a aero precision 18 inch barrel for my ar 15. It's a complete areo precision build. I want to re chamber it into a 762x 39 . Or should I just build another gun?
Loving this series so far. Can't wait to see everything else that comes form it!
Ok I say let’s let Thomas from BRS give this a whack.
How many outtakes does it take to not say BRS beginner guide?
Awesome guide. I’m here trying to decide.
This stuff has already been done sooo many times. Hoping Randy would’ve bring something different. Nope it’s a beginner guild to ar15.
Randy!
Nice video. Nice product
Great stuff Randy…keep em coming!
