This year’s rifle features premium components, including an ADM lower receiver, Midwest Industries tools, Radian pins, and a BCM grip and buffer system.

I could use a dream build invite real bad rn. My kid is begging for his first rifle and I’d love to pass mine down to him
When the camera man hits record, and that 🔥❄️ starts draining….😂
Holy nose-snow batman gotta watch this fella on x.5 speed to not get overstimulated… Unlike him. Think his "coffee" is much stronger than Caleb's
Tactical advisor is so annoying . I don’t like to watch his videos . But I like to watch Caleb
What grease do yall use?
I didn't see you grease the threads on the buffer tube, I guess you stake but you don't grease. 🤔
Caleb, i would love to see you take us thru your box of tools and supplies for firearm assembly. All the jigs, the punches, the wrenches, the chemicals (like Aeroshell, threadlocking compounds etc…)
Make recommendations based on the type of firearm being assembled, tips and tricks that real gunsmiths use to simplify these processes.
Pull a Caleb on us. Look up the meaning of your name.
Appreciate what you do and what you bring to the Brownells brand.
A gunsmith that doesn’t realize BCM upper or thermal fit I knew these videos were nothing but a sham
This dude was busting azz and Sh💩tting his pants throughout this whole video 💩💩💩 …" talk about this gun with your mouth " 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice!
The accessories don’t need to be tightened to spec or with a socket wrench set to a certain poundage?
Having these guests builds is awesome, cause you get to see more of random things that might come up and how to address it
Brownells dude is weird
Handsome dudes. Dream Dudes.
Is this video slightly sped up? The sound and movements seem a little off.
What’s the tool box you have there on your table ?
Put the barrel in a freezer over night and it will drop right in.
Enjoyed, good job 💯
One would think these highly popular guntubers would know how to assemble these things by now..

Just need to paint it Wolf Gray!
15:45 – Thermal fit? Who's she? "If it dont fit, force it."
We appreciate you Caleb for having these great you-tubers on Brownell's to build a special Rifle for themselves!!!🤗 These custom builds also shows us who has knowledge about building a Firearm from there personal experiences!! LOL 😂
what the actual hell? what gunsmith isn't aware of thermal fit uppers?
Hey, been watching your videos, I'm a fan, thanks.
“Incredible.”
The hammer guy is not working on my gun
Keep him away from the vise.
It looks like the 203 bracket was removed. Or are the rivets blending in with the black handgaurd?
25 lb rifle!
Almost done the exact build but radian saftey and dd upper and 11.5 barrel. Definitely need to be done with shorties. Well I’ll eventually build a 12.5 or 13.7 or.9 build. May change it up and go with a g$ mk4 or mk8 rail but man I love DD riii rails.
never stop this series
I had a blast learning and building this rifle with Caleb. Thank you Brownells 🤙
No test shots! Ahhh!
From my understanding, you should be adding grease to both the threads on castle nut and also on the barrel nut. With the gas block screws, I'd be using Rocksett. The castle nut should be torqued to 40 ft/lbs. I also wouldn't hammer the barrel into the upper… Use a torch and heat up the upper allowing for the barrel to fully seat. The barrel nut will also fully seat the barrel.
I really enjoy this, brownells making videos with content creators. Do one with Summer shoots. Lover her positive energy.
Where did you get the parts from for this build? Surely not brownells. Their always out if stock on everything but the "NOTIFY ME" TICK.
Hey bud, tell this piss poor company to spend some money and stock their shelves. They should rename the company from brownells to Notify Me
I’m glad they’re not doing that for me.
Warm the receiver and the barrel slides in,no pounding!
Mmmm. Testicle Advisor
Anyone else cringe watching them trying to pound a barrel into a thermal fit upper? Couple seconds with a map torch and it would have slid in there.
Is that a registered SBR lower that you just assembled into an SBR?
You don’t beat trigger pins in with a hammer! Line it up correctly
"This'll be… you owe me 60 bucks. Heh, I'm kidding. I'm kidding."
The look on his face says, secretly, I'm caring, ALOT!
Hahahah
These shows need to be called the apprenticeship build.
Dam the Tool Box 308 video didn't get the lube like this ! LoL !
Someone really had the sniffles.
You can easily thermal fit this barrel man. Don’t hammer your barrel. Thermal fitting is easy and it will only take a minute. If this dude was experienced he would have known that Bcm uppers have a very tight fitting tolerance. Influencers are for entertainment only and you can’t really count them as experts. I think brownels is trying to expose them with these videos 😅
Wonder if they discussed hair products before or after filming? 😂
