[Thunderbolt22A10]

where is this place!!!!!!!!

[astrotraveler360]

tucson, az. i drive past your place everyday.

[GunWebsites]

@astrotraveler360

they have re-arranged, stop in and say hello

[BorislavX]

Where is LWRC, Noveske and La Rue?

;)

[GunWebsites]

@BorislavX

LWRC = Maryland

Noveske = Oregon

La Rue = Texas

[BorislavX]

@GunWebsites

Yes, I know where they are from, but I didn't see them in your buyers guide unless I missed them when I went to grab a snack. I have to watch this again.

;)

[BorislavX]

@GunWebsites

never mind, you do have lwrc up there

my bad!

[stak45DDS]

thank you

[PublicFilthSpeeks]

pronunciation of anyword is irrelevent to the topic... my .02 cents on that!!!

[SwampFeverYoda]

Great video. Thanks!

[iaraiza69]

Can anyone tell me the handguard/ heat shield that is in Predator or Scarface movie? thanks

[chadxinc]

@iaraiza69 Not sure but I think you're referring to the Vietnam era M16 A1 rifle handguard. If memory serves me correctly, it's a triangle shape, instead of the more oval design. Hope this helps.

[thotkrime]

Im kinda new to guns and I wanted to buy an AR but I had a question, the dude at the local gun shop said you could an AR15 in a whole lot of different calibers, but when I see the lowers they have for sale, none of them specify what the caliber is. How do you know what caliber you're dealing with? Isn't the standard 5.56? Also a lot say 2.23/5.56. Does that mean it shoots both calibers? Do you need a special magazine for each caliber?

[mercurymafia]

which 1 is best for robbing a bank? lol thats a joke

[MultiSr16]

LOVE THAT COLT 6940

[betocast0196]

magpul would be a trapezoidal prism

[OregonVet]

I don't care how one pronounces it- those cheap cables aren't stopping anyone from pulling one of those rifles off that cheap-ass rack.

[GunWebsites]

@OregonVet

there are no cables.. 

[DSMtsi23]

@OregonVet Who the hell is going to try and steal a gun from a gunstore!!

[socom16762mm]

@DSMtsi23 i know right! i think that oregonvet guy works at the gunshop here in oregon called The gun room. worst freakin gun shop around. just a bunch of grumpy old dudes that think they know more shit then every one and think theyre better than everyone. i wont be surprised if they go outta business soon with their twice as much as them other store prices.(not exaggerating that either!) lol

[unclesoflaugh]

@OregonVet you might actually be retarded

[hockie91]

@OregonVet you do realize there's no cables actually holding the gun to the rack? he just removes the rifle from the rack. so what if it's cheap? it serves its purpose you moron.

[Knightsairsoftteam]

@OregonVet They are there so that you can't charge the weapon. Thus, the bolt can't move and chamber a round.

[50cliber]

thts dumb if you say carbeen then when you say eye then you would say eeeeeeyeeeee

[ByBySucker]

i am looking to buy a semi automatic only ar15 i want a decent rifle but nothing over 1000 i am new to the whole ar era

[babyeatsdingos]

@ByBySucker

Look at del-ton for good rifle kits for under $600.

You can get whatever stripped lower you want for 60-250.

Del-ton makes quality rifle kits for a reasonable price.

[dirtydeedz161]

Why do Americans say "Carbeen"?

[GunWebsites]

@dirtydeedz161

because thats the way to say it

[PrivateJoker17]

@GunWebsites Every other English speaking country pronounces it 'carbEYEne'

[GunWebsites]

@PrivateJoker17

They are all wrong

[PrivateJoker17]

@GunWebsites Hahaha

[Satyr910]

@GunWebsites well thats bullshit, because brits pronounce it how its spelt (the correct way) carbEYEne like PrivateJoker17 said. and since us brits gave you the British language that would dictate that us brits are right in pronouncing it and Americans are wrong! how ever since its only a word who gives a shit how its spelt or pronounced we only need to know that its a shorter version of a weapon.

[bIGnmIZTEE2]

@GunWebsites why does it matter; not tryin to be an ass, but who really cares?

[GunWebsites]

@bIGnmIZTEE2

exactly "who cares?".. you have never seen us correct anyone about how to say anything

Why don't you complain to the ones who are upset about this?

[bIGnmIZTEE2]

@GunWebsites im just sayin man.

[ShadeStalker1915]

@GunWebsites I say Carb'eye'ne. It's not an American pronunciation to say Carbeen, that just sounds weird. And yeah I'm American.

[sokkumboppaz]

@GunWebsites Actually, you can say it carBEEn or carBUYn. It doesn't really matter. Neither one is wrong.

[Grunt922]

@PrivateJoker17 every other english speaking country doesnt have the first amendment to free speech.

[PrivateJoker17]

@Grunt922 That didn't even make sense haha.

[Grunt922]

@PrivateJoker17 *shrug* not my problem you cant understand the right to free speech.

[PrivateJoker17]

@Grunt922 I do understand the right to free speech, every other English speaking country has that right as well, but that right has nothing to do with the pronounciation of words, your comment was idiotic. Of course you have the right to pronounce a word the way you see fit, that does not make it the correct way of pronouncing it.

[Grunt922]

@PrivateJoker17 but they dont have a constitution telling them that and lets face it, if they arent told that then the gov't says hey u cant say that or youll go to jail. but hey what every, im going to say it carbean you say it carbyne, w/e floats your boat.

[PrivateJoker17]

@Grunt922 It doesn't matter whether it's in a constitution or not, most countries have it written into their law somewhere, also I think this conversation is pretty pointless aha, have a good day :)

[Grunt922]

@PrivateJoker17 laws can be changed very, very easily.

[PrivateJoker17]

@Grunt922 Seriously man, this conversation is completely pointless.

[Grunt922]

@PrivateJoker17 maybe so. but humans have nothing but time to waste until we die.

[PrivateJoker17]

@Grunt922 Really getting into odd depths of conversation here haha

[Grunt922]

@PrivateJoker17 just saying, pointless conversations pass time and all humans have is time.

[PrivateJoker17]

@Grunt922 Well, good talking to you :D

[Jrhoney]

@dirtydeedz161 Same reason Canadians say aboot. Accents.

[Snowboarder3195]

@dirtydeedz161 haha yeah i know it's kind of weird i'm from the US and my friends and I pronounce it "car-by-n" but that's in maine up north (close to canada) and it seems that when you see people talk about guns from the west or south like colorado and utah they pronounce it strangely like you said.

[dirtydeedz161]

@Snowboarder3195 Then it must be a geographical thing. I didn't mean to start a shit-storm in the comments section. XD

[HatrXx78]

@dirtydeedz161 The word comes from the french word "carabine". In French you pronouce "bine" as "bean". For repelling you use a "carabiner".... EVERYONE pronounces it "cara-beaner". A carabiner is named because it is a ring to attach items to another item. Why?....because it was originally used by cavalry troops carrying "carabine" short rifles with rings to attach them to their saddles. Soooooo, to make a long story short... any other pronunciation is wrong.

[ibanezkid07]

who makes a good quality but affordable ar 15

[acdcnumber1fan100]

How much would i have to pay for the m16a2 type

[gmodman999]

Recoil w/o buffer? 1 - 10

1= No/Very low Recoil

10=Ultra recoil

[Drshockaloo413]

so i was in between the 6.8 and 6.5, but im really thinking the Grendel with a 18 inch stainless barrel. do you know how reliable the Grendel is? and also just general comparisons about the two weapons in comparison. thanks.

[davidjara03]

whats better colt or bushmaster?

[GunWebsites]

@davidjara03

colt

[noaffiliationsfr]

This video is loaded with info!! THANKS!!!!

[Dgaf82]

So with the Magpul MOE handguard , i noticed they are very cheap price wise but I hear nothing but good reviews so far. Doesnt one of the MOE vertical grips models attach right to the MOE handguard "without accessory picatinny rail ??? or am I wrong the whole thing on Brownells has me confused. I will be using it on a S&W M&P15a

[EddieBrockVenom]

1:30 what gun was that? i couldn't hear..

[Str8Blazn1]

@EddieBrockVenom Its one of the Smith And Wesson M&P 15 models.

[EddieBrockVenom]

@Str8Blazn1 Thanks!

[beethz]

itll be good to have one of these when the revolution starts.

[sakoshooter48]

@beethz MOLON LABE. No shit, couple of Javelins and an A-10 wouldn't hurt either! LOL!

[SouthernKudzu]

What are the benefits of a "free floating" grip? I have a Colt LE 6920 and have thought of swaping in a rail grip, but not sure what type to get.

[Judokkaa]

how much was the one with the triangle guard? Vietnam ear one? I'm considiering buying my first ar-15 and I want it to look like the m16a1's used in Vietnam.. How much would I have to pay for somehting like that?

[GunWebsites]

@Judokkaa

It is all about condition.. figure $750 - $1000 +++

[Judokkaa]

@GunWebsites For new rifle?

[militarysims]

How do does gunwebsites/gearreviewers like the Magpul MOE handguard? I have seen it now and then. Is it up to par with the rest of magpuls gear?

[GunWebsites]

@militarysims

I like it, but don't own it (but I would), one of the guys has them on a few rifles. But don't think he's used them in classes or anything yet

I see them used at classes and matches and they seem to work

[GunWebsites]

@militarysims

[automagget]

@militarysims i love it, i think its a really nice handguard, and very sturdy for the price. i also have the AFGII and those two together are awesome. its sturdy, well made, heavy duty plastic. i recommend it. i also got the mapgul illumination kit and that also is an amazing product.

[GunWebsites]

@ willerd2009

'WE' are not, and don't have a gun shop

This video was filmed at Tucson Guns however, they support our channel

[dills2403]

why does that one company not have a foward assist on the upper?

do they have a bolt hold open?

[GunWebsites]

@ dills2403

many companies offer models without the forward assist, since the FA doesn't really do anything except add weight and get in the way

[Jrhoney]

@dills2403 The original AR platform did not have an FA. That was added for reliability issues cause by the jungle and conditions of Southeast Asia and poor maintenance.

[joseph52190]

how much are the m16 vietnam style handgaurds and the stock?

[zuki1899]

any suggestions for handguards for a bushmaster xm15. looking for some guards with picatinny rails. preferably at 12 and 6 oclock

[GunWebsites]

that can have a lot of answers.. how much do you plan to spend?

[zuki1899]

i'm looking to spend up to 300.00. any suggestions?

[shtfighter]

Look at RIS brand UTG mnakes a very inexpensive one but dont mount sights on it

[PAGunGuy]

LaRue and Daniel Defense are the way to go, IMO.

[emgduncanman]

daniel defense for me. an omega x12fsp as shown on the video, is as light or lighter than most other 7 inch quad rail handguards. i have a daniel defense ddm4 and the gun weighs in at 7lbs empty and 9 lbs with a loaded 30 round magazine. very impressive considering my debate on purchase was between the colt m4 and the ddm4 and the ddm4 was noticeably lighter than the colt with standard round m4 handguards. i know people have preferences, but at least i gave a reason for mine.

cheers!

[AndrewBehning]

if u get an ar get a grendel their so nice mine is very accurate and packs a punch without a kick

[shadowblack1987]

LWRC #1

[nightforce308]

daniel defence all tha way.

[flyhighkev]

nightforec308 i like your style. I hav a piston Omega rail and it's the shit!

[nightforce308]

hell yea dude, i just got the ddm4. i got the omega 12x that goes around the front post sight.

[2000jdam]

Dont go with troy,go with Midwest...........

[GunWebsites]

why is that?

[JulioCHernandez]

i'd rather go with Larue

[italianwjt]

WOW that 6940 is WAAAAAAAAAY over priced $1995!!! I got mine for $1345 out the door.

[GunWebsites]

good for you. You should think about a carer in bargain shopping and talking smack on the internet..

[shaunseanshawn]

lol

[Dman40475]

Dont take offense man he was just stating that its over priced. And he happens to be right in this case. Just sayin, dont jump his case unless he starts trying to go keyboard commando on us :~)

[GunWebsites]

Really?

Do you seriously think all things cost the same everywhere?

This is a big country / world..

Think gas.. ever see the same price all across the country?

Retail price is a function of quantity bought, distributor prices, shipping, store overhead, etc

Anyone can sit at a keyboard and comment.. it's another matter to run a successful business for 6 years

Do you go to your local store and complain that you can get twinkies cheaper at the warehouse store?

[AreThereNoMoreNames]

I was thinking the opposite, in fact, when I saw that SP1. By any chance, would you ship to an FFL in New York?

[GunWebsites]

We are not the store, so I am not sure what they still have in stock, but you can call them and see what their policy is about shipping

[bamdizzle08]

Im buying the troy MRF in FDE right now for my MP15. thanks, is free floating going to make a big difference. im told the riffle will be a lot more solid feeling. no wobble.

[GunWebsites]

That is true, and that's why people want them to mount optics on
