Now I'm going to have A1 nightmares …. I hated those things, used, worn out.
You mentioned that other nations would buy the A2 front handguard and keep using their A1 rifles with A2 front handguards. Well, Paul Harrell, notable guntuber, typically uses a Colt AR-15 A1 as his demonstration rifle, and his front handguard broke, so he replaced it with an A2 handguard as well.
How long was Coch operational? What a legend
Awesome stuff as usual.
C’mon everyone knows the “battery storage” on the LMT stock is for snacks like Slim Jims and Skittles! 😉👍
& then we got Canada who still uses those og heat shields & still not even pic rails 😂fuck modern stuff stick to weaver rails 😂
Lol I love how this video has a section that's like "hey, sometimes you have to beat up people with your rifle to get them to do what you're telling them to do" lol
I hear it so often–"What works for you." But hearing these seasoned pros say there are only some things, like the buttstock, which really matter by choice, is so refreshing. So may other quasi pros imply or state you have to only go with the Big $ tacticool stuff.
Well–no.
Dave and Dutch have shown the same thing. I LOVE that Dave says using the M4 grip and buttstock are not only OK, but his PREFERENCE.
Way to go, all of you!
I would have given a brief disclaimer about NFA laws and putting vertical grips on barrels under 16" and that a vertical grip is one that is 90 degrees from the bore axis of the barrel so grips with an 87 degree angles are ok.
Good stuff guys
Dorr (AKA skittles)
As I tell my clients – the AR-15 has so many accessories, it's like a Barbie Doll for men.
Colt XM177E2 , Colt 723 , Colt 727 and Diemaco C8 are my absolute favorite Fixed Carry Handle Carbines . I own all of them now . Had to build out XM177E2 with Brownells Receiver and rest is all Colt .
USN was the only ones that adopted M16A3 . That contract was awarded to FNMI . Those A3s are hard to track down these days .
M16E1 and M16A1 I believe used Zytel for the Handguard but could be wrong..
I picked up KAC RIS in 2002 and didnt get the RAS until 2006. RIS did not have the set screw and the RAS did..
LMT SOPMOD and VLTOR Stocks , LMT Rear or ARMS Rear sights is what they used early GWOT for their M4A1 Carbines . The M4A1 SOCOM Profile came out in 2003ish . Young lady at CRANE created the drawing to Colt . Colt had absolutely nothing to do with SOCOM Profile and Colt also had nothing to do with MK18 . LMT and Crane are godfathers of the MK18 Barrel . Colt did have the SOUL SOURCE M4 Family Contract for US DOD from 2001 to 2013..
DD Won SOCOM Contract in 2006 for their RIS Rails..
KAC NT4 was one of the first bomb Proof Cans . NSW and CAG used them the absolute most of their MK18s back in the day . I do not know if NT4 was for sure used on 416s when theh first got introduced but I assume they were because SF SOCOM RC hadn't been adopted yet..
LMT ENHANCED BCG/BOLT came out also in 2004ish time period . SOCOM wanted to adopted it because it was superior and also Colt was having QC Issues . It was not adopted because LMT ENHANCED would not cycle reliably in Rifle length gas system . LMT ENHANCED BCG/BOLT was designed for Car Length gas system . Adding that 3rd vent hole was paramount . Their ENHANCED Bolt are virtually indestructible. I can't remeber if it was Crane or CAG but they did 36K round test on one and gave up because they couldn't BRAKE it ..
Dream Optic is NF 2.5-10×24 that NSW used MK12 MOD 1 SPRs. I have Centurion MK12 MOD 1 SPR URG and I want that optic so bad to have an accurate Clone Upper . I do need to build out NSW RECCE Rifle . I have the Douglas Barrel and Reciever . Just need the RAIL and Optic..
I could go on for hours talking about US MIL Small Arms and Accessories. I'm for sure a geek when it comes to Mil Small Arms and accessories. .
Phenomenal video bros
would like to find some a3 or a4 larger oval profile handguards for a 20” rifle
Nice one. I thought lots of the foregrips got popular just to be able to hold the weight differently doing hours and hours of 'house visits'. Are those buttstocks that allow for an adjustable cheek rest too flimsy or heavy to not be used?
Hey, Coch, great content.
Sorry for off-topic but what kind of strap/band you use for wearing 2 watches on left hand?
These two are cool customers.✌🏽👍🏽
Thanks guys, excellent history lesson and I mean in a respectful way! Would like to hear about personal training that you both do. Thanks again, Love your channel!!!
Somebody tell Dorr it's going to be ok.
Not many places on youtube you can hear someone say "I was the guy who bought these for your machine gun" to a younger veteran.
Very informative video, thanks.
I like to put extra rounds in the LMT battery compartment
Secret snack storage wins wars.
Thanks guys. Great job
Some of the countries who "just switched out the handguards" included the U.S. I was in the Air Force during the first Gulf War, still rockin' the M-16 and even some 601's believe it or not. If you deployed at the time the armorers would switch out your handguards so it would look like we were using "the newest and most modern equipment"…… Nothing but the best……right…
I'm surprised the grip pod didn't make it. Back around 05-06 it was cool. They kinda suck at everything, but it was very popular for a hot minute.
I love the industrial design insights, and that pivots between 'making do and mend' with quality items coming out of it
Great vid, thsnks! I think the free float m-lok rails are one of the biggest advancements. So sturdy, so versatile, better accuracy.
I'm completely in on the furniture of these guns. Timber Creek from Oregon has some cool stuff. The carbon handguard I have 3 of and will be getting a 4th in green. Also the coolest scope covers I have are from Vector Optics Continental series made from aluminum. As for striker fire triggers! Try a Timney trigger. Your life behind this trigger will change your life.
Nice video! Good to see everything together
great video
