Lucas Botkin's AR15 Furniture Choices For Maximizing Consistency

ADHD guns experience brought to you by Botkin.

This Lucas feels more alive on camera than I've seen in a LONG time vs the trex channel. Happy for our boy.

None of my B5s or even $15 Chinese knockoffs wobble, idk what's wrong with your buffer tubes

Don’t take off your foregrips. Unless you’re competing in 3 gun. All of Lucas training is more 3gun related. None would be useful in SHTF situations or military. Also Lucas is notorious for having bad takes and redacting his opinion on a lot of gun relations topics or accessories.

The smith tactics battle bar was/is better than the b.a.d. Lever, it’s a shame they don’t make them anymore

If you like the BAD Lever but are annoyed by the looseness I switched to the Phase 5 EBRV. Solid piece well made doesn't break or flex.

First

but werent vertical grips made to provide another point of contact on the rifle for better control?
from my limited understanding

Ehh a hand stop allows you to get a consistent point of contact .. disagree with alot of this but chew the meat spit out the bones

SL-K’s and BCM’s stock are perfection for me

Some guy on Reddit said to shim the BAD lever with a little piece of soda can cut out to fix the slop

Title of the video should be “ I used to not use bcm but now they pay me so buy them “ lol but all fairness the BcM stock is the tightest lockup of any , they just have a shorter profile and have to live back further in the tube is the only con

A strip of electrical tape on the buffer tube will take out some of the slop on the stock. Just dont do too much or its hard to adjust and take off.

They make this stuff called tape, like electrical tape. And if you buy stock you like bit it rattles you can put pieces of this "tape" stuff inside the stock or wrap it around the buffer tube to take up that rattle. Easy fix.

I have both the CTR and B5 Bravo; they are both great, but both can wobble quite a bit. I almost always shim my stocks with tape, it's quick and it makes the stock rock solid. Lucas, what is your take on this approach?

I'm going to say something that's gonna start some shit. Collapsible stocks are overrated. A1 length fixed stocks are the perfect length for most people. They're stronger and have no moving parts. I can't remember the last time I adjusted any of my collapsible stocks. Maybe when Bill was still in office.

As for the Bad lever I'll pass. The PDQ lever is a better option. It does require modifications to your lower. It's not hard to do but if you're not sure a local smith can do it easily.

A bonus for our southpaw friends. Checkout the Norgon ambi mag release. It's the goat for ambi mag releases. If you can take the stock mag release out then you can install the Norgon.

My b5 bravo doesn't wiggle at all

The 3 real rules of firearm safety are as follows, and they are ranked by importance

1-look cool
2-have fun
3-win

If you win but you look like a dork and had no fun, then congratulations you actually lost

9:26 Lucas what does the velcro on the side of the magwell do? Is it just for patches?

Magpul SL stock is underrated

The BAD Lever is a GOATed attachment and that will NEVER be changed. If that somehow causes an ND, whoever had it did something horribly wrong.

I really like the MFT Minimalist stock. Works great on SBR or 10.5-13.7 builds. 11.5 fan myself. But I have one on my super OlD CMMG AR before they got popular and fully loaded and decked out with that stock. Its the lightest AR I own by almost 2.5lbs

1:50 Classic M16 Buttstock still be 1 of top choice.

Lucas still one step away from the perfect setup: quad rail bb

Should be called LarpCorp.

Stop being poor and go Geissele ambi lowers.😂

Lol my platform looks outdated 😂

I can't wait til this kid is forgotten about. Annoying little brat has never actually worked behind a gun a day in his life but loves teaching people bullshit.

For no specific reason you should go watch the polyphia music video for can you feel it.

Driven arms Co magwell is way better fyi.. there is no lip there for your magazine to catch on so it's completely smooth. Wayy better

Lucas always has the most swagged out rifles and gear… shheeeeesh that man isn’t BSing around! lol but dude glad you’re back at it…
