R-15, R-25 Remington Centerfire AR Platform Rifles

[praharin]

at 1:23 why are you showing H&K MP5 subguns while talking about how popular AR platform rifles are?

[oeyesea]

I want a tactical R25 in .243. The military would have been better suited if it went to something in the .243 range of ballistic performance instead of in the range of the .223 ballistic performance. At least the groundpounders would be better off.

[adam41280]

what do you big game hunters think about the MODEL R-15™ 450 BUSHMASTER rifle thinking about buying one and idea's on the pros and cons of this rifle

[b1rippin]

lol paintball gun @ 0:40

[MrXtream123]

i wish i could get one of these in canada- stupid gun laws

[Devabomb123]

@MrXtream123 I live in Ontario... And you can..?

[MrXtream123]

@Devabomb123 at cabelas Canada in Winnipeg they are restricted. meaning you cannot hunt with them or own them with a restricted licence

[ajohnson]

Does anyone know if the C-products or magpul P-mag 20 round magizines suck? Which one is better?

[ajohnson]

Can the .308 version shoot surplus 7.62x51 ammo?

[TheGuyWithAWeirdName]

@ajohnson usually 7.62x51 can be used in a .308 rifle but not the other way around

[ajohnson]

@TheGuyWithAWeirdName After hours of research i've come to the same conclusion. A 7.62x51 can be fired in a .308 win, but not the other way around. However, Remington says not to do it. In fact Remington doesn't even waranty foreign .308 ammo in there .308 chambered rifle! I shot foreign, cheap Monarch, Wolf and Tula Russian ammo in mine and the primers are to hard for the match triger hammer spring (20% wouldn't go bang, the first time). I'm upgrading it to a "Wolff Extra Power Hammer Spring" .

[hotrodmcspoonjr]

@ajohnson 7.62x51 is .308 just in military terms ^_^ im not positive but i think it can

[PertigueiroBR]

Evoução, qualidade da Reminton com Genese para caça.

Ainda com um otimo custo beneficio, O que mais se pode querer?

Sem duvida uma arma que gostaria de ter.

[AppalachianFreedom]

Will they accept other AR type magazine? 30 round etc...?

[NRAssociation]

@AppalachianFreedom It will accept any hi cap DPMS LR308 mags

[phx96scooby]

J&G sales has the R-15 and the R-25 in .243 and .308 you guys should check them out at jgsales.com

[dumfart21]

"more men and women formally trained to use it"

and they show a guy holding an mp5 at 1:25

[Sochill247]

Make one in black and i would buy one... that camo is UGLY.

[NRAssociation]

@Sochill247 Buy a DPMS LR308 in black. "WALA!" you have a R25 minus the $200 Remington camo paint. The exact camo color code is "tree stand" they painted it this color because it's a hunters rifle from a company that is known for supplying hunters. They saw a growing market in tactile platform. Hunters were the target for this product. It helps them transition into the tactical market. They have opened a window into the 223/556 ar15 market with this product. Great job Remington/Dpms!

[ajohnson]

@NRAssociation More than a paint job difference.The remington R25 is chambered tighter for better accuracy and the barrel is stamped .308 Win. only (although it will still fire the 7.62x51, but not recomended by remington), while the DPMS is chambered for .308 and 7.62x51. Also, the remington is lighter than the DPMS.

[crazyheatrocker]

which one can you hunt bear with?

[hyonjun]

I like this. Im moving out west soon. Would this rifle be adequate for elk or no?

[Moldovawineimporter]

@hyonjun : Yes this AR-25 in 308 or 7mm08 will work for Elk as long as you don't try to think it is a long range cartridge the gun is chambered for .

Elk will take a beating and keep on running !

Be a responsible hunter know the limits of the cartridge you are using .

For Elk in 308 use a good bullet such as a Barns X 150 grain and for the 7mm08 use Barns X 150 grain bullets also .

You can also get an AR-25 in the new 338 federal that would work great for timber hunting Elk .

[spazzz64]

@hyonjun depending on the range. a 308 win at 1000 yards has the energy of a 357 magnum at point blank. So i would say you could reliably take an elk at about 600 yards. your still delivering with a good load over 2000 ft lbs of energy.

[punchinchest]

how much do you get in a round?

[DaBestLeftAlive]

@punchinchest what do you mean ?

[oeyesea]

I think DPMS, Bushmaster and Remington are all subsidiaries of the same company, I believe the parent company is known as Cerebrus or something like that so most likely the Remington is actually a DPMS or Bushmaster that has had a few minor characteristics changed and is badged as a "Remington". I guess you can go all Wiki if you want to look it up.

[jettarulz]

because i watch you tube jack ass

[jettarulz]

another words they ran out of good ideas so they said hey we have sucked for making guns for years.

Why dont we buy out bushmaster and rock river and dpms and have them make us a rifle that might sell. GO COLT AND BROWNING

[pbkA5]

if they suck sooo bad why did you search r-15????

[changapoblana]

@pbkA5 LMFAO !!!!!

[dp665]

@jettarulz ild take a bushmaster, rock river, or dpms over a colt anyday. colt qulaity control has gone to shit and there guns there producing now adays have fallen far from the pinical they once were when they had guns like the python being produced.

[762x51n8o]

@dp665 That's not true; colt still makes the best ARs.  Their quality is just as good as it's ever been, and it's filling the hands of US personnel in 2 different sandboxes overseas.

[dp665]

@762x51n8o

wrong. colt made the original ar that the millitary used. however back in 2008ish (give or take a year) FN usa started makeing the ar for the millitary when colts contrac ran out.

[HillBillyUP2008]

@dp665 No Hes right. Im serving in iraq right know and the m-16s we carry are colts. The only new rifles purchased buy the military have been the m-4s and Im not sure who make those cause our unit doesnt carry them.

[dp665]

@HillBillyUP2008 the millitry has millions of m16s and m4s theres probaly atleast 2million colts floating around but according to an article in special weapons millitary and police magazine fn usa is making them now.

[DaBestLeftAlive]

@HillBillyUP2008 m40a3 being replaced with the m40a5

[tardwhisperer]

@HillBillyUP2008-The M-4 is the civilian model M-16. manufactured by Colt as well.

[fastcabrio]

@tardwhisperer your on crack dude, think before you speak. m4 is the CQB version of the m16 in the military. M4 are not sold to public. Only m4 or m16 rifle u can get is a AR 15 platform which comes in CQB and many other types. M4 and m16 are supplied with selective fire, so full auto.

you can not buy a m4.

[1130vrscdx1]

@fastcabrio, Yes you can buy a M4 rifle and a M16. Find yourself a class 3 firarms dealer pay for it, usually around $12K to $16K, send in the forms to the ATF and wait for approval. I know one person that has one.

[CarliPar]

Did you guys notice in the video when the narrator speaks of Mauser they show a photo of a Krag-Jorgensen

[CarliPar]

AR stands for "Armalite Rifle."

[YouMockMe]

I still don't know the difference between the R and AR.

[KittyRokher]

@YouMockMe Remington named it "R" for Remington. So it means Remington-15 and Remington-25.

[AusJackal]

Nice but more shooting and less talking would be nicer.

[ArizonaAdventures]

Agreed
