thats pretty funny i did the same thing shooting steel today.had a square of steel that holds rr tracks in place.pistols dont even hardly make a mark on it.i thought i was missing the thing but they went through it like butter.didnt expect that from an 5.56.its a screamer for sure.it has its advantages. the rifle is an m4 type stag and i think its so handy.keeper!!!!
@ScopedPewPew they are built the same, only the m-16 is a semi/3 burst select fire depending on the model(A4 is semi/3 burst, the rest I believe are semi/full auto select fire). the ar-15 is basically a semi automatic rifle.
I love the regular sights...these days everyone thinks its cool to use optics...i have no problem with that but first learn to shoot with regular iron sights...
Your Father might of called it a Matty Mattel, that was the nickname the troops in Vietnam called it when we first gave it to them. My father (Vietnam Veteran) still preferred his M1 Carbine, and my boss (Vietnam Veteran) preferred his M-14 over the M16A1.
i dnt like altering the ar either. if im goin out farther than 300m ive got the ol trusty 308, then i can put it in your eye out to 1000m. I DID get somethin useful from Uncle SAM.
@Speedogg138 I was making a reference to the COD fan boys that keeps asking about Optical sights, I have nothing against them. But even so, too many so called "shooters" and self called "Rifleman" could not hit a target with iron sights even if they tried.
@TheXanarox1 Well, it's lighter because it has a barrel profile that's not as heavy. Some people prefer the weigh the sights adjust on the M16A1. The M16A1 is fully automatic. The stock is shorter on the M16A1 which some people prefer.
People that put all that shit on thier ar-15s like vertical grips and flashlights,lasers,hugh red dot,thermal,infared,nightvision scopes.....i think of the movie beverlyhills cop 3...THE ANNIALATOR 2000 :) Just fucking KISS " Keep It simple stupid"
Amazing shooting and very nice rifle! Imo id leave the rifle the way it is if it was new id say add the sights but thats a clasic rifle the only optic id add is a 4x20 compact scope from centerfiresystems(dot)com that goes on the carry handle for $40 mainly for looks.
How long is the barrel on that AR? I'm looking to get a Bushmaster MOE and the barrel length is 16in I think. If I get a 18in or a 20in barrel, will the accuracy of the bullet improve? In terms of longer range. Sorry I had to put the term as accuracy but it made sense to me in describing.

you carzy old man all u guys like is guns guns guns....guns are shit!!!!............
joking...i love guns i got ar-15 myself and ak-47 also m16, i was a part of military, i was there for 5years and i know every things about guns and i see my friends got shot in the head many time,blood were every where and part of their body were every where. i went to wars i seen what has happened i seen people got shot every days and that is bad.
The original AR15 was designed to fire exsplosive .22 calibre rounds with ball powder ammunition, and the military didn't like it because it broke the tradition of infantry marksmanship that originally was introduced with the Springfield M1903. Then the Wiz kids in the department of defense wanted it, and forced the army to deploy the A1, but in true army fashion, they put stick powder in the cartridges, and stick burns dirtier, so that caused most of the jams and GI deaths in Vietnam.
It's hard to find people now a days who are fond of the iron sights! Old school is always the way to go. Putting on a scope or a sight is like putting Katchup on steak. It may enhance it, but it loses the elegance.
Nice. I love the M16 A2 style. I just can not get into the M4's I got my eye on a Stag Model 4. Nice cheap rifle for my first black gun. I noticed you have a lot of lube in your chamber. You just brush it on and leave it there?
Good one wolfblade. Ding, oh my hot pocket. Lol. Love this gun. Don't really have a good place to shoot it though. Being a former marine, I would like about 300 yards for some windage calls. I guess a hurricane would be as good as any. Thank you sir. As always, great video.
Such a great rifle. I love my A2, but I would have to agree with your dad, I think the classic hunting rifle style is more comfortable. I guess the AR-15 is easier to handle when you're runnin around in the bush, but I'm just not that big a fan of the pistol grip on a rifle. Great Video!
@hickok45 hey, i want to shoot military matches, but cali is hating and i can only get one with a pinned magazine, or bullet button....not good for the rapid fire of the matches....so i guess my question is where can i dump my life savings to purchase a preban ar?
Hickok, love your videos, i got one almost the same age as that one. i do have a question, ive been watching vids of AR's in 9mm. what is the advantage and disadvantage in using a 9mm in a AR platform? Just seeking your Guru Enlighenment!
@captainkaos131313 , Well, one would be giving up a lot of power and still have a pretty big gun, but I suppose they would be fun to shoot. I'd be more inclined toward one in 10mm if I were going to consider one in a pistol caliber. I think that would be fun to shoot. Heck, any caliber would be fun to shoot. :-) I've always thought one in 7.62X39 would be cool, but you just don't see them much. I've been told the reason is that nobody makes reliable magazines for them. Don't know, though.
@hickok45 Thanks for your input. i'm looking for another tactical/defense carbine but there are so many options these days. i've been considering the olympic arms 9mm ar because they can use my glock clips so it would be a complete system but i think i'd be giving up a lot of punching power. Besides, i'd rather have a RRA. I've looked at the 7.63x39 format but i can only find 10 round magazines. Thanks again!
@marek0086, Yeah, I don't even drive through the South; there are Civil War battlefields everywhere. Just think of all the horrible lead in that ground. I figure if I stay 100 miles from any of those places, the lead won't get me! :-)
@hickok45 I'm sure you know but, AR's in 6.8 SPC are amazing. The round reaches out like a 5.56 and hits like a 7.62, you also reload so it would be somewhat practical for you. As for an AR chambered in a pistol caliber, IDK, thats why they have the MP5. I must say I have shot a Thompson before and it was very fun and can see why it was a favorite weapon in WWII.
Dairyqueen either you're a comic genius or someone who should be prohibited from procreating either way you're funny as hell.btw Hickok do you own any piston ars? Just curious. Me personally, would just get an m14 for a piston but the piston ar bug has bitten me.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
rofl I hav that gun in COD black ops and used in mw2 its kickass I hav a golden one and im on 2th prestige but why arent you using 3 rounds burst cause its way more damaging then single shot
i love this weapon, that weapon is awesome, I know it well thanks to the Corps. We would shoot on the range up to 500 meters with iron sights! very accurate! at 300 yads we would do rapid fire and wear out the targets........ AR is outstanding
If the AR/5.56 round can knock down those 1" steel targets that easily, there's no question the round is adequate for fighting. Some think the .223/5.56 is too small compared to other calibers in battle rifles. Thanks for the videos Hickock.
When would be a time when you would have to use the forward assist? Probably a stupid question, but I'v never fired one so just wondering. Great shooting by the way.
Find it funny becouse iam from austria and i get of course a glock, so its funny when i see your overroal.. nice greetings from the land der berge und viel spaß beim schießen ;) LG
I'm an old school, iron sight guy myself. But then again, I remember B&W TV, the Marlboro man on television and radio and no warning labels scrolled on alcohol, tobacco and firearms.
I think they look their best "naked" as you called them. How they come from the factory seems to be OK for the kind of shooting i would do with it. But ive never actually shot one so my oppinion isnt all that valid
@superfullofbull right, because i want to use a .223 for home defense so that i can kill the bad guy and my neighbor and her cat all with one shot. very "logical" quit trolling
Mr hickok45, speaking of neat guns - >Colt CM901 in 7.62mm or 5.56mm; it's my bet that The United States Army picks the Colt (Individual Carbine Competition) as the successor to the M4. Kindest regards
I'd venture to say Hickock that you shoot a rifle just as well as any handgun you own. Also, I would leave that old battle axe just the way it is, no need to clog up the old school look of that one with a bunch of rails, grips, lasers, optics, etc. Just my opinion. Great shooting brother.

@MrSchpankme , Well, since you asked - just prior to pulling the trigger, whether handgun or rifle, I access my memory bank and call up a slinky image of Cindy Crawford. She inspires me to relax properly as I release the trigger. When I miss, though, I don't blame it on Cindy. :-)
Couple things I noticed: It seems you're a better shot with the AR than the M1A. Also, you're not wearing the orange ear-protection. The AR's louder, huh?
LOL Mattel toy gun ..alot of the older guys never got over the fact that the original stock and fore grip were in fact made by the Mattel toy company..I had the pleasure of training on and using the A-1 M-16
Great rifle. Good video. I had a A2, I built back before, the "Crime Bill" went into affect. Unfortunately, it was stolen a couple of years ago. I think its time to build another one....
If sighted in 1" high at 5o yrds will be point of aim, point of impact out to 300 yrds with standard 55 gr 223 rounds oooor was it 2" high ahhhh hell I cant hit see anything out that far anyway.
i want to buy an AR but i cant find one that is plain all of them have all the fancy things that i dont really want, do you know where i could find one
@xbulldogs57x Bushmaster has some basic models for purchase. Just look hard enough, they're out there. Or, you can convert one back to the original type hand guards?
@xbulldogs57x I understand, that's the way they are at my gun store, but there is hope. I am originally an AK guy so it's all kind of new to me, but I did find this out. The lower receiver is the only part required to be transferred through an FFL. So, if they have them, buy a lower receiver from the gun store (from a reputable brand, shouldn't be TOO expensive), and then you can order whatever kind of upper you'd like through the mail, that has at least a 16" barrel of course.
@xbulldogs57x Don't worry, you'll learn quick. I did. It's because it's something fun, so it'll stick. My first field strip was of an AK so I started out easy. And, thanks to the miracle of youtube, you can find a lot of disassembly/assembly videos.
@xbulldogs57x You're ready then. All you need to do to attach an upper to a lower is push out two pins on the lower, drop in the upper, push the pins back, and you're ready. It's really easy, trust me. And if you're not comfortable with doing anything that's critical like bolt disassembly, barrel change or gas block change etc., a gunsmith should be able to do it or show you how. For me,it was just a matter of looking up a few good youtube videos and I knew the platform like the back of my hand
makes me wonder how much steel a ap round will go through. it was just ball ammo.

I'm an old school, iron sight guy myself. But then again, I remember B&W TV, the Marlboro man on television and radio and no warning labels scrolled on alcohol, tobacco and firearms.

Hi I'm curious what type rounds were you using? And you mentioned Eo Tech. Is that the way to go for my S&W AR?

Nice shooting with the iron sights.
I would put some old style hand guards on it, just for the coolness factor.
Is that a standard front hinge pin for a Colt?

I think they look their best "naked" as you called them. How they come from the factory seems to be OK for the kind of shooting i would do with it. But ive never actually shot one so my oppinion isnt all that valid

Mr hickok45, speaking of neat guns - >Colt CM901 in 7.62mm or 5.56mm; it's my bet that The United States Army picks the Colt (Individual Carbine Competition) as the successor to the M4. Kindest regards

I'd venture to say Hickock that you shoot a rifle just as well as any handgun you own. Also, I would leave that old battle axe just the way it is, no need to clog up the old school look of that one with a bunch of rails, grips, lasers, optics, etc. Just my opinion. Great shooting brother.

I'd luv to see what your Eyes and then brain interprets, just before you squeeze the trigger.
MrSchpankme 1 year ago
@MrSchpankme , Well, since you asked - just prior to pulling the trigger, whether handgun or rifle, I access my memory bank and call up a slinky image of Cindy Crawford. She inspires me to relax properly as I release the trigger. When I miss, though, I don't blame it on Cindy. :-)

Couple things I noticed: It seems you're a better shot with the AR than the M1A. Also, you're not wearing the orange ear-protection. The AR's louder, huh?

@xbulldogs57x Bushmaster has some basic models for purchase. Just look hard enough, they're out there. Or, you can convert one back to the original type hand guards?
ThaddeusMcSpalding 1 year ago
@ThaddeusMcSpalding well i went to the gun shop (gander mountain) and they had like 10 AR's but the all were custimized and cost quite abit
xbulldogs57x 1 year ago
@xbulldogs57x I understand, that's the way they are at my gun store, but there is hope. I am originally an AK guy so it's all kind of new to me, but I did find this out. The lower receiver is the only part required to be transferred through an FFL. So, if they have them, buy a lower receiver from the gun store (from a reputable brand, shouldn't be TOO expensive), and then you can order whatever kind of upper you'd like through the mail, that has at least a 16" barrel of course.
ThaddeusMcSpalding 1 year ago
@ThaddeusMcSpalding well lol im new to this to, i havnt taken a gun apart yet so im trying to learn yet
xbulldogs57x 1 year ago
@xbulldogs57x Don't worry, you'll learn quick. I did. It's because it's something fun, so it'll stick. My first field strip was of an AK so I started out easy. And, thanks to the miracle of youtube, you can find a lot of disassembly/assembly videos.
ThaddeusMcSpalding 1 year ago
@ThaddeusMcSpalding well ive taken apart a marlin single shot 22( my first gun) and help take apart a 12 gauge pump?
xbulldogs57x 1 year ago
@xbulldogs57x You're ready then. All you need to do to attach an upper to a lower is push out two pins on the lower, drop in the upper, push the pins back, and you're ready. It's really easy, trust me. And if you're not comfortable with doing anything that's critical like bolt disassembly, barrel change or gas block change etc., a gunsmith should be able to do it or show you how. For me,it was just a matter of looking up a few good youtube videos and I knew the platform like the back of my hand
