FN 15 Military Collector M4 Review
bit.ly/2CHLudt
I came across the FN 15 Collector Series M4 at the last shot show. I honestly forgot they even made them. So when I saw it, I practically begged them to let me make a video about it.
My desire for the M4 is based on nostalgia, but even more so from the movie Battle Los Angeles. I love the movie, and something about seeing M4s in that film really made me enamored with the classic style of the M4.
However, most people who buy the FN15 Collector Series M4 want them because they're obsessed with having a rifle as close to the military version as possible without the fun switch.
So, if you're a gun enthusiast, collector, or just plain curious, join me for a deep dive into why the FN 15 Collector Series M4 deserves a spot in your arsenal. Hit that play button and let's lock and load some knowledge! 💥🔫

So many people are so obsessed with tweaking, modifying, and customizing every aspect of their AR that they forget how much work can be done with a basic, classic M4 carbine. It simply doesn't get more solid than this.

If you don't like the ACOG, toss on an Aimpoint M68 CCO (also known as the CompM2). The Army bought those in 2000, so it's authentic to the period. In all the units I was in during the GWOT, the ACOG and M68 were the go-to options.

@@builtdifferent244I now have both collector edition M-16A4 and the M-4, simply put, the M-4 is 2lbs lighter, much shorter with an adjustable stock and is far more adaptable to more situations. Yes, the Marines in 2004-2005 did room clearing with M-16A4…After just carrying my M-16 through doors on the upstairs bedrooms, I was curious, all I can say is yyyyiiisshh that was an accident waiting to happen! The M-4 is FAR more suited for that! Hence why the M-4 is so preferred……Although nothing beat a 5.56 M855 out of a 20inch barrel since the original .223 REM is built for the 20inch barrel.

6 years ago, I picked up a Colt M4 LE carbine - minus the ACOG, it's basically the same rifle. Love it. I installed Troy rail covers on mine, and they stay put. I have a broomhandle on mine, but I have the folding one, not the fixed one, and it does have play in it, but I like the folding feature, and it's fine if you hold it tight when firing. It also has removeable side plates on the handle, so you can mount a pressure pad for lights/etc. I also have the military buttpad, which, on the standard carbine stock with no body armor, is a nice thing. The reason for the ACOG is - as you said - it's bulletproof: no batteries that need to be replaced. The only other M4's that I'd buy, would be FN's, H&K's, and POF's. They just run, and run, and run.

The ACOG was always a love-hate relationship for me when i was issued one. However, utilizing the bindon aiming concept, you can be surprisingly fast with an ACOG . Also, the field of view is fantastic.

It's a perfect combat weapon designed for heavy use the trigger will break in for sure remember these weapons are designed for heavy use as an old hunter the fixed power will make you better with judging distances if you grew up with a BB gun you would understand nice add to the collection

I snagged one of these a while ago. Threw a Comp M4 and a PEQ 15 on it and then added an H2 buffer and Sprinco blue spring and it’s a load of fun. Brings be back to the old days for sure

If you have an issue with the acog being slower, get the newer TA31RCO. It's a little smaller to help with weight, it has better eye relief, and it's what is in current use in US armories. Also as for red dots, you can still use a PEQ-15 on the top rail as it has a gap in the middle specifically for the FSP. Also would recommend either a top mounted or, if you are a man of culture, an offset RMR. Edit: for those of you who are curious, I was a Corpsman with 1st medical BN in Pendleton, and I had a lot of time in the armory with a few of my marines brothers.

I’ve been planning to build one of these with PSA parts and a Franklin Armory binary trigger, though all I’ve got is the lower receiver that’s been sitting around for months collecting dust.

@cgoins1993 10 ай бұрын

Send the binary trigger back and get a fostech echo. They’re much more reliable

Building AR’s is a weekend hobby for me, so while purchasing is definitely more convenient, I just feel more satisfied if it’s for personal enjoyment, same for my retro 300 blackout based on the Colt 607.

@@aaronskuse2207 yeah building your own can often cost the same or more anyways and you have to make sure it’s functioning; almost like the Polly 80 pistol kits; those almost cost the same as getting a brand new glock and take a lot more time putting it together if you don’t know what you’re doing or first timer.

I was a Cold War Era Veteran shooting the M16 AT2’s with the iron sights. The word you used to sum up this M4 style rifle is “classic.” Agreed. Some AR rifle combos work well and this seems to be one of them. Love the humor with the use of your movie clips.

Battle Los Angeles is definitely underrated. Certainly, a different animal in the 'Alien Invasion' Zoo. I found it refreshing that it wasn't the old 'we're so outgunned/out-teched we can't win the old fashioned way' overused trope. It was grunts doing grunt things. It also convinced me to get my own AR, as well.

I picked one of these a few years back. I just happened to see one at my LGS and caved immediately when I saw it. I put an ACOG TA31F on it and a Geissele SSA and it's gone with me pretty much on every trip to range and used it to introduce a lot of new shooters to the platform.
