I believe a lot of you guys are looking at this in a different way than Chris. He built a gun with an engineering background as the basis; the smoothest-running, the most efficient and least wear on the parts while maintaining sufficient external ballistics, a chrome bolt carrier that will be easy to clean and reliable, the barrel and rail covers that will tolerate heat and extended round counts from stationary positions, you know... like actual things that make a weapon system functional and effective for a long time under combat conditions. The ambi stuff is personal preference. The optics are heavy but more than capable of doing many applications and retaining function. Most of these complaints are about how this rifle isnt modern enough and isnt light enough. This rifle will function for a long time. Im all for the modern things, but I also know that this is an absolutely functional firearm.

Once again, thank you for your time and effort to produce this, all good choices and well reasoned. As an aside, the first time I saw a 16" semi-auto Colt carbine, it looked quite odd having all that barrel sticking out from the front sight and "what is the front sight (and gas port) doing all the way back there? Of course, the answer is Colt, after making all the Commandos and the XM177 adventure, decided to make a civilian version and why bother doing anything else except making the barrel 16" after all, 'we're Colt, they'll buy anything we make." Proper dwell is so essential whether it be gas operated, short or long recoil, or otherwise. Hope I didn't bend your ear too much. All the best!

Chris probably has not problem with the weight, and in the beginning of the video he even said that his preferences are different than someone who cares all about being lightweight. In Rorke Denver’s book “Damn Few” his C/O on SEAL Team 4 carried a SOCOM-16 throughout his time in the service, which is over 10lbs fully loaded with an optic. There are plenty of guys who have no problem carrying the weight and do it just as good as someone with something lighter, just because you don’t agree doesn’t mean “his rifle won’t be effective in the real world”

I’m curious as to this choice as there are many very durable options out there now that are every bit as strong as a traditional quad rail. I’m going to guess that you do it to remove extra parts like you say about forged finger guards on lowers? Love that adec mag release system.. I’ve never seen that before. I will definitely be going that route on my next build over the magpul bad levers I traditionally use.

I have found one very good reason to have a forward assist. It may not apply to everyone, but it definitely applies to me. When I dry fire (which is quite often) I have to unload my weapon. When I am finished I have to load it back up. Every time I chamber a round by letting the charging handle drop, the round that is chambered gets that little slight primer strike. I have tested those rounds after being loaded like that up to 10 times, and I believe they will be fine after many more, but... Every professional I talk to tells me to NOT trust those rounds with my life. "Your life isn't worth risking over the $0.75 you save. After you eject an unfired round, throw it in the practice pile.". I understand what, and why, they are saying, but... I can't afford to do that. Literally cannot afford to throw that many rounds away. I might dry fire 6 times a day. With a forward assist I can ease the charging handle forward and then use the forward assist to seat the round and make ready. Otherwise, I can only think of a single reason you would ever NEED one, and that's if you're being overran and you absolutely MUST get that last round into the chamber, consequences be damned. But a lot of things have to have gone wrong for that to be a final scenario.

Acries 314 Picatinny isn’t obsolete per say, but more “obsolescent.” In the world of Keymod and MLOK, picatinny rail is simply too heavy and too bulky. It works, but it’s very outclassed today by newer systems.

Rampant Colt Sparta was full of absolutely ripped professional warriors, not overweight loud metrosexuals in chaps and massive hats.

Sparta, really? So you’re keen to be a religious, military dictatorship that fanatically suppresses individual liberties?

I have a question about the A.R.M.S folding front sight. You said you have yours pinned. On their site it looks like they only sale clamp on style front sights? How did you pin it?

Would the barrell length be the same if you went to .308 or 6.8 spc?
