    I have a few suggestions, with a AR you can swap out calibers and barrel lengths. Not legally unless you use a pistol and what looks like an end to the pistol brace rule. Buy a striped lower receiver, it is like less attention getting than the registration for a full rifle. It's not that hard to assemble. Your end game is to buy piecemeal and on sale as well as maximizing your options. Theoretically, you could go from a close in rifle to a realistically long range rifle with a single lower. There are a number of recent innovations in calibers, like 6mm ARC or 22 ARC that fit in an AR lower, with a upper, bcg, and magazine change. The ammunition is slightly higher and you will have to buy it online but available. And that's the beauty of it you save so much on just having to buy the upper. The scope could remain in the upper. For your lower, you can get a drop in trigger, and the adjustable stock that locks up, or go the fixed stock which you could get the adjustable cheek pad and length adjusters. As of this date, a 6mm ARC upper with correct BCG can be ordered for slightly more than $300.

    Afternoon Michael. My go to rifle is my M4 carbine, 16", nitride coated barrel, with a 1 in 7" twist rate. But i can see where sometimes we may need a little bit more hitting and distance power. That is where my .308 lever action comes into play. My favorite (so far) is the Remington 700 sps tactical AAC-SD. Just my opinion, but it doesn't matter what a person uses, as long as he/she is proficient with it. Just know your rifle, practice with your rifle, keep it in a clean working order. ✔️

    I agree for most folks an AR-15 is a great GP rifle for use. I would have opted for the 1 1/2 inch longer barrel especially in 5.56 NATO. A shorter barrel is great if I am kicking in doors, clearing rooms or fighting from a vehicle, but I dont intend to do any of that! The 5.56 depends upon speed to do its magic and the shorter that barrel the less effective it becomes as ranges increase. This was especially true when shooting "sticks" in Somalia beyond 200 yards.

    Lube your weapon, running it dry even w/ magic coated BCG's is a bad idea, if you have to swap lubricants due to temp take the small amount of time to do so. Combat sucks, it sucks even worse when what's going to save your ass doesn't work because of improper maintenance of gear. There's allot of misconceptions out there about "self lubing" coatings, you keep them lubed, the benefit is in case you run out of lube you can fire your weapon longer. Understand that when it comes to a gun battle your objective is to save your or others ass, it's not to somehow be easy on equipment so it last for the next thousand years. Keep your stuff that needs to be lubed, lubed.

    EVERY ‘professional’ gunfighter/GUN guy that works on their firearms..would ABSOLUTELY recommend running a LUBED rifle/carbine. I wouldn’t even consider running a ‘dry’ rifle..not with the heat that’s produced..even from just ONE mag. NO way. I run my more along the lines of “wet”..the BCG is glistening, not dripping. Friction is a KILLER and then combined with the heat produced..? Geez. Ask “Patrick Sweeney”. ASK pretty much ANYBODY. It’s been proven there’s no ‘onboard drip tube’ on those fancy BCG’s..for the ‘self-lubricating’ gimmick. It’s just a slicker, polished metallurgy, IN an aluminum upper. They main benefit is it’s EASIER to clean, that’s it. EVERY carbine/rifle NEEDS irons. But to each his own. Stay safe man..

I'm getting a cryptic coatings dlc bcg for it which is far superior to any nickel boron bcg and has even more lubricity. You also still need to not run your gun dry, ARs especially of the ruger variety like running wet. It'll be less so once i get the dlc bcg. I also plan to geta chrome lined barrel as it will add to the longevity of the rifle as a primary weapon. I can also change over to any caliber I want just about and that includes .300 HAM'R which is ballistically superior to 5.56 and 7.62x39. It's what the military should be using, but I digress. I definitely think I wanna get that bolt release thing for inside the trigger guard. That'll make reloads faster to a point, but you would have to get used to the new battery of arms for something like that. You have to redo your muscle memory in order to adapt to it. I can reload my ruger with a blindfold on and I've trained myself to do so in the event of being blinded by something or having water in my eyes or whatever. It also helps your muscle memory if you do it this way because it works if it's pitch black outside too.

    that taped up tourniquet is virtually useless. you have about 40 seconds to get that off and in place. No way you are going to be hurt to the point of needing it and still be able to get rid of the duct tape and apply it, in that amount of time. you should really think about securing it in a different way or on your person, easily extracted and applied. I live in Ukraine (17 years) i take aid to our guys 2 to 3 times a week and see all kinds of wounds and problems. The main takeaway from a real life SHTF situation, is that, bleed stop is the #1 thing. Timing is everything. anyway, like the video, but that just stood out to me as a big no go.

    I don't do brands. I build mine with what I want. There have been so many companies come on board I am not up on all the stuff out there. Is 1500 your entire budget? Or just for the rifle? Because you have to have mags and ammo also. Just saying if 1500 is your budget. I would put around 700 into the gun, 300 ish into an optic, get about 10 mags and about 1K rounds, a sling, and get out and use it. If you can afford training, then that is a huge yes! Hope this helps. Email me if you need more input. Asymmetricalpreparedness@gmail.com

    I like most of what you said, but I disagree with running your rifle dry, and the Fail Zero BCG. The dry part because I've spent time in austere conditions in the infantry and seen dry rifles fail far more often than wet ones. The Fail Zero thing for 2 reasons: The coating tends to mess with tolerances, making a very inefficient gas system and I saw a Fail Zero BCG fail miserably on a SOTAR autopsy (if I remember correctly the tolerances were horribly off on headspace and the lugs sheared off the bolt).

  • @RedEarthRider

    Agreed the only time I have ever seen rifle do better dry is in desert conditions. The dust and loose sand will get into the gun no matter what you do. If wet the dust will stick very badly. I would not trust the Fail Zero Bolt and carrier with my life just run a reputable one like BCM.

    I was running Fail Zero BCG's in most of my GTW AR's but I switched to Expo Arms Chrome BCG's based on SOTAR's BCG autopsies. Question: Why KeyMod instead of M-LOK? I choose to run my BCG "wet", I carry a small squeeze bottle of 30W in the grip and have used it in So. Utah desert temps to Utah/Idaho/WA/OR winter temps-no problems. Granted, my AO is probably NOT as harsh, comparatively speaking, to others that have REAL winters!

It has an Aimpoint, no magnifier because that wouldn't fit right in that locking rack. If rules don't matter anymore It's going to become my rifle.

    I don’t know why everybody pushes these 14.5- 16 inch recce wannabe rifles like you guys are hunting dudes in the woods at 300 meters plus. M193 is barley going fast enough to fragment at 300 meters out of a 14.5 rifle, besides the fact how are you going to prove self defense past 25 yards lol, even if there’s a break down of rule of law at some point your going to have to answer for the people you put down. People would be much better off with a defensive ar with a 10.5 or 11.5 setup. You guys need to stop day dreaming of fighting in the woods like you’re in the revolutionary war, you’re supposed to be a prepared person and focus on defense of your property and family. not trying to be an insurgent in the woods.
