Had a Gray and a Green. Sold them both because they were pointless - I believe that every AR should be suppressible, and the LVOAs were not (Gen 1). The Gen 2s may have been, but then you defeated the whole point of the thing. It's one of those "never meet your heroes" thing. The gun was also hot garbage. . . . that company was run like a junior high school project, as evidenced by the years it took to liquidate some of the stuff they made or had made after they went out of business.

Even fully kitted budget rifles explode in cost. Especially when you take into account ammo and magazines. I have 40 loaded windowed magpull magazines with caps in cases and that just by itself is almost 1800 dollars and I have a case of loose ammo. My rifle is a Palmetto build with a FN Palmetto partnered upper that I bought with an all Palmetto lower with all Danial Defense furniture. I have the Sig optic and magnifier combo and a forged aluminum grip stop and extended charging handle. I still need a trigger and I am in for at least 1500 dollars on the rifle. Add a hundred dollar AR tool kit and punch block and your at your starting point...lol Your basically at 3k for your rig not including external accessories.. It must be really nice and light though. Hey really quick check out the CMMG conversion kit for 22LR. I run it on my rifle and its like having two guns on one platform. Make sure if your interested to buy the anti jam charging handle. Since I got it all together it runs almost flawlessly.

I’ve always thought they look cool but I feel you don’t get enough for the price. It should definitely should have an Ambi lower. Honestly for the price and money I feel ADM is king right now if your going to buy a complete rifle.

5:44 Its actually amazing how much difference you can visually see the SAI jailbreak made to the gun, IDK if its Just the weight, or if it is actually working as intended. If you slow motion the few shots he took with it on and the side by side with it off, you can see the muzzle flash and the climb is a lot more pronounced. All in all they look cool, and I love using this setup in Escape From Tarkov, but on a real gun, I think id rather just have the slightly longer barrel and a suppressor.

Let’s face it, Colion is just a super cool dude! Great vid as always Sir!

I have had this rifle since 2016. Super cool to look at. Does it shoot better than my other AR15? nope. The jail break is cool. Mine has the lower being made in Oxnard California not Las Vegas.

That being said my Reece rifle is a LWRC piston driven rifle. It was 2400 and once set up the way I like it with optic and other is it 3200 when it’s done mags sling optics and all. Also watch the slow motion and you will see the break is more effective and efficient without that rail extension on it.

When he took that 'jail break' or whatever off, the gun just looks and sounds the same as my Del Ton Echo 316. I picked that up for $639 including shipping. (Yes, Beto. I bought it ONLINE). The ammo is the same and it handles just like it. At the range, I felt equally as comfortable firing my single shot Heritage Rough Rider as I did the Del Ton. All these inflated prices on guns due to demand? It makes me question whether or not these so-called "Gun grabbing politicians" secretly have no intention of doing that, but bought a ton of stock in gun and ammo manufacturers before starting all this up - just to see how their stock increase from all the panic buying.
