Sir huge fan but a slight concern. I think that you should use suppressors while testing ARs as they are extremely loud and might harm your ears. Though it might bring a slight difference in the performance but safety and health come first. Love from India♥️♥️♥️

You can have as many AR15s as you like in the UK. The only difference is you need to have them re-chambered to .22 if you want to keep them semi-auto. All of the single fire rifles are legal. Shotguns are pretty much a free-for-all. Handguns unfortunately not, but let’s be honest - it’s the rifles that draw the crowd when you show off your collection. The only thing stopping me buying more guns is I’ve run out of space in my cabinets……

@yutaja 3 жыл бұрын

@@Crotone79 I have one myself, but it’s slightly different than his. Mine lacks the teardrop forward assist. Colt said it was made in 1984. Definitely a transitional rifle made with left over SP1 upper and lower receivers. Was my first AR my father bought for me at a gun show 10 or 12 years ago. Older gentleman we got it from threw in 2 vintage 30 round Colt mags and the 20 that was in the rifle. Unfortunately he replaced the original A2 round hand guards with A1 triangles to give a more Vietnam look to it. Other than that it’s in pretty good shape and I’ve since re-installed A2 hamdguards.

@marcustyrone3950 2 жыл бұрын

Qualified "expert" 39/40 with an A1 in basic. 300m was qual distance. Back then, we still did 500m targets on a KD range. I don't know if they still do. Mostly to practice hold over and Kentucky windage. Iron sights seem to be a dying skill. With all the headlights, turn signals and space junk hanging off of rifles now days. Years later I was issued an A4 (CCO sites still weren't a thing for basic Soldiering). I thought the A4 was the perfect upgrade with the elevation drum. The Army called them rifles still (I was raised that a 20" barrel was a carbine). But when in Rome... Technically? The Army called them "weapon". But on the marksmanship badge, it said rifle.😂 Never went to war with the A4. But did go with an M4. I never really warmed up to that little weapon/"carbine". I cared for it because I had to. But I never really loved it. As for modern civilian ARs? I still prefer my front sight attached to the barrel. Personally, I'd have kept the Colt. I love your vids Mr. Hickok. .

@@philipmix5237 I completely agree. I was only speaking to the apparent narrative that was happening in my head. I see 5 rifles, 4 new and modern and 1 old classic. 1 of those is not like the others. In the truck world a lot of workers like the old school more for the lack of features because too many features means too many moving parts and more chances of something failing plus harder to diagnose because of more variables. Isn't that what makes the classic AK-47 so great? Simple, reliable, effective. But I get what you're saying. I'm happy with what he chose. I love Daniel Defense. My dream rifle right there.

@@magnificentgentleman2805 Sadly, you are right. Although, I think if the majority of Americans knew that we no longer have fair and free elections (which means we are almost like slaves) then they may take up arms to retake their right to vote. Or, they'd be complacent as long as they have wifi and a never ending stream of entertainment.

The lightweight Mlok rail with iron sights is hard to beat. As much as I love my Colt stuff, I too would keep my BCM or DD Mloks because they weigh less. Nothing is more cruel than a “one AR” ultimatum though!

I had an older gentlemen come to my shop with 3 AR15's he wanted me to put prism sights on, sight in, and clean when finished. Two were a Daniel Defense and one was a LWRC. Those two Daniel Defense were much tighter, more quality built, as well as more accurate than the LWRC. Still though were not quite what my two full custom AR15s I built with GGP billet reciever sets but for a factory built AR15 they were the best I ever messed with in category of factory build AR15's
