00:00 Intro
02:11 Poor Sight/Optic Choice
08:40 Little to No Zeroing
15:43 Poor Weapon Lights
19:50 Ergonomics
25:35 Muzzle Brakes
28:21 Conclusion
Yeah I got that $50 optic. Slapped that bad boi on my airsoft ak lol
Using Channel Locks, ouch.
First I was shocked watching a set of Channel-locks used to remove the flash hider, then I lost it when the new muzzle device was tightened with the same Channel-locks, but used completely ass backwards… Please tell me this was all done as a joke!
That bit on the cheap optics hit me right in the feels. I mounted a $50 open reflex on an ultimak railed gas tube and learned the importance of paying for quality. 12 rounds was all it took to cook that thing.
What is this "meters" of which he speaks? I did my zero in yards… 'Merica.
i keep looking at the backwards grip
i have a primary arms ffp 1-6x lpvo with the acss raptor reticle and boyo its amazing for the price. comes with mount for like 550 on their site.
The best optic I got for my AR-15 is the one I got initially SiG Romeo 5. An affordable but fantastic optic.
What do you think of the sig sauer romeo msr red dot. It had only cost me 150 at my local surplus store. Lmk plz 🙏
Off topic, but what brand is your jacket?
For a gun education company this guy talks down to new gun owners or 2nd amendment advocates. Who cares if they got into guns from Call of Duty, you don’t need to be putting them off by acting like you’re so much better than them.
On my first rifle i dropped when i going out eotecs cost as much or more then the rifle itself lol
I built my first rifle 😅
Bro got that school shooter look
I bet I dumped nearly $1000 continuously replacing my cheap optics, rails, and grips, over the first 10 years I owned my AR. I've had about every setup imaginable, and even all of them at once. I finally got smart and started spending the extra on quality accessories. Suddenly, I didn't have to replace optics twice per year.
Dude I loved that conclusion! Fucken ey. Good stuff
That poor m&p
not me having an anurism watching him build that thing
The Barska electro was reflex sight was my first optic cuz i thot would be "milspec" being featured in #ultrarealisticmilsims like CoD:MW and Ghost Recon. The good news is it still mounts, as long as youre not shooting the gun.
I myself have a diamondback moderately upgraded. I wanna get that surefire silencer you have but I’m more focused on getting some sort of bipod. What do you think of that? I seen some cheap ones but I’m smitten on that mag pull bipod have you used those?
As a new ar owner your videos have been the most informative and straightforward with a little bit of comedic smartassery thrown in. I'll be watching everything you have. Great video
Love to hear your take on straps/slings. I can't for the life of me find one I like or that is in any way comfortable…
You nailed it right on the head with the optic. I bought a 3x monstrum prism for 100 and then realized i couldn't zero it.
Glad i watched this before i got my red dot, now i just want a good acog next 😎
My first build had an NC Star from the crossroads of the west gun shows🤣🤣🤣🤣
First time at the range and it would not hold adjustments. Thing was all over the place!
Now they all have Trijicon,Aimpoint,Leupold,or good old fashioned flip up iron Troy Industries…. Save and buy the best instead of being cheap and buying crap and then buying something better after the crap dies and spending more money than if you would have bought the best one the first time.
I am not paid by vortex to say that I stand by their entire line of optics
