Brandon built out what he would consider a “budget” AR-15 with some specific capability requirements. His build is capable of training, competing in a practical carbine match, general preparedness and defense, and should last for a minimum of two maintenance cycles.

Love the transition at the end
Epic, Thank you for the video. You guys are expanding my interest past firearms creation and inventing and sparking an interest in competition shooting! Stay groovy and again thank you 100% for this content!
Why do people spray their ARs. I mean they ain’t going to war so it can camouflage.
I love that b-roll at the end. Adds character and gives the video more of a storyline.
❤
As a German I am (positively) surprised he's talking in meters all the time 🎉
at the end i was inspired by the tactical dust cover closing. if you miss the first flip it makes it even more tactical looking. click clack
Let's see Paul Allen's budget build
I don't think people understand the role of PSA. PSA's customer isn't SPECWAR operators or other people who put thousands of rounds down range (or people who want to take selfies in the mirror with their guns). Their customer is the average American whose life doesn't revolve around guns and has different financial priorities but still want to be able to protect their home and practice once every several months. Not everyone is a gun enthusiast. Not everyone needs DD or KA quality guns. But everyone should be an enthusiast about being armed.
Do one with a 400 dollar psa
Don't forget to maintain your weapon and you would be surprised on how long a 600$ rifle can go. Remember that people on YouTube are salesmen.
Can you guys do something similar with an AK? I think 7.62×39 is still extremely viable in American woodland environments
Great editing as usual!
Good stuff
Blem 14.5 bcm Mk2 upper with bcg, Psa classic stealth lower, streamlight pro tac long gun light, Blue force vickers padded 2 point sling, vortex 1-8 gen 2 strike eagle, bcm gunfighter short vert foregrip, radian raptor lt charging handle. Total: $1,277. Nothing used bought all new. What do y’all think? Trash or gas?
You need a great trigger, good BCG, barrel and optic, the rest is somewhat irrelevant
The poors are crying about in the comments. Just because your build is cheaper doesn't make yours budget it makes yours a pos lol
I spent 1500 on my very expensive (for me) one-and-done build. But most of that was a BCM complete upper, then just am Aimpoint pro, arisaka 300 light, Vickers Blue force sling. All under 1500, just food for thought.
I don’t think people understand the term “budget”. Cheap and budget are not the same thing.
Cameraman going crazy 🫡
Basic mil spec receivers, quality barrel and bcg. Good optic and light. Save money on everything else.
I would say $1500 is not budget lol you should be able to build a decent rifle and accessorize for under $1000
Camera work on this video is something else
Now that is cool
👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯🔫🔫☕️☕️
What brand lpvo
Great video. Thank you
Be a lot cooler if you had a butt plug attachment and fleshlight suppressor
I'll never understand why people spend 200+ on a weapon light when Streamlight makes extremely tough/reliable lights for sub $130. If it truly is a 'budget' build you can get decent weapon lights for like $40.00 from off brands. Lights that function well and don't have any issues.
What handguard is that
How’d y’all get “budget” from this again?? Haha 😂👎 great video!! Insanely stupid info tho! Lol 😂 there’s several ACTUAL budget builds you could do that aren’t $1,500+! That’s just stupid Lol 😂
4:31 Slow down and put more emphasis on Firearm Safety Rules. It never hurts to get a good reminder.
In for all the “aero and PSA isn’t trash” people..
Yes.. yes it is
Less AR-15 content please
2:30 even he was too fast for the camera.
Aero upper and lower rosco manufacturing sauce pack is really the ultimate budget setup
You guys just cloned my build buy accident 😂
Great video. I ended up with an FN PSA upper, same optic and light, ALG ACT trigger, Magpul sling and ended up almost right at that price. Probably my favorite build so far.
BCM UPPER A PALMETTO LOWER AND YOUR IN THE MONEY WITH A SOLD DEPENDABLE RIFLE
I would not even qualify for budget build with $700 and I thought I was budget lol
That reload at 02:31 though 🫡
Maybe a Trex training academy?
Real talk: If you think 1,500 for a complete setup with optic, light, sling ect… you need to fix your priorities
Your budget build in Canada now that we can’t get AR 15s but if we could, we’re still looking at 3k for this build.
Never given an inch because they’ll take a mile. Constitution is the greatest document written for Man.
