AR15, 275 yard steel target shooting. DPMS AP4 Carbine

[Moonfood78]

I wish I had a cam when I hit 390 yrd m16 rental, just peep sights. You should practice the army minimum of 300 with peep sights only.

[Cherbanov]

What kinda steel are you using? My bullets just whent thrue the target living nice round holes cal:308win

[GaTiger11]

It looked more like 500 yards than it did 275. Good shooting, btw.

[7point62mmby51]

minnesota made!! dpms rox sox!

[KittyFooFo0]

Steel-cased ammo and hard Berdan primers are no problem for Geissele Automatics triggers. Sets them off reliably, consistently. Accuracy is greatly improved from stock OEM trigger with ~10 millisecond lock time to less than half, compared to a Remington 700 bolt-action of ~2.5 millisecond lock time. Good for that range with irons.

[RYSE12345]

@pkasimov True true. Very capable round.

[Noahmyra]

Great shooting you made it look to easy.

[jigglejack100]

what was that scope mount and did it have a space under the rail so that you could use iron sights?

[wavelength1970]

@jigglejack100 its a "Tapco riser mount", you can see through it, but all you can see is the base of the front sight. I wanted a slightly higher mount so there wasn't much of the front sight visible in the scope.

[jesselyle2186]

lol i love my DPMS and it is great ill only buy DPMS

[zzztubazzz]

did u fucking hit or miss or what mother fucker

[RYSE12345]

@mechaike The AR-15 is just a semi auto civilian version of the m16. Most AR-15s are chambered in .223 or 5.56. Some are chambered in .308 or 7.62.

[pkasimov]

@RYSE12345 5.45x39 too. I'd love to have one of those (S&W) if it werent for the corrosive rounds that you can get only from Russia/Bulgaria...

[an10nee]

cool thanks i have been in the market for a scope. I have my eye on a Trijicon TA01 NSN

[an10nee]

What scope did you attach to your gun

[wavelength1970]

@an10nee Its a cheap Bushnell 3-9x40 that I got used for free, but it works perfectly. Not as nice to look through as the Leupold on my 30.06, but just as dependable

[OSHADYO]

@wavelength1970 On your scope were u aiming directly on the target,and thats where they landed,or did u shoot a little high?

[wavelength1970]

@OSHADYO Oh jeez this was like 1.5 years ago...I think I aimed a little high and they were hitting in the middle...I had 36" of vertical target so I wasn't too worried about it.

[usantfarm]

NICE SHOT, I WISH I HAD A THUMB! (I can piss farther than you can, nah, nah ,nah ,nah ,nah!!!! When we all understand, in the grand scheme of things, action is what counts... blah, blah, blah...nevermind, silly human filth,,, in the end, we understand nothing.)

[AbuSalaam100]

is that wisconsin?

[TheJacob1186]

i did that in basic with iron sights..its nothing special. take that scope off and see if you can do it..anybody can shoot with a scope...

[wavelength1970]

yes, it is easy with a scope, I also did it with iron sights with my Mosin Nagant M44, that vid is posted too...

[JimmyGunXD556]

@wavelength1970 If you have to advertise or degrade people of there shooting in a non-competitve environment like "The Jacob1186", it kinda reminds me of the guy that talks about how big his dick is too.

[wavelength1970]

@JimmyGunXD556 I'm not sure I understand your comment..i agreed with the Jacob that the shot was easy with a scope, and I said I did it with open sites too...i wasn't degrading anyone

[JimmyGunXD556]

@wavelength1970 my bad.

[wavelength1970]

@JimmyGunXD556  or do you mean 'the jacob' is degrading my shooting?

[JimmyGunXD556]

@wavelength1970 yes, i jumped the gun. I thought he was degrading you and i was sticking up for you. I looked at it like if you know the shot is easy and we've all done it. What the point of the comment? So I took it the wrong way. Again my bad. It was nice to see easy shooting. I will look forward to Jacobs "easy shot vids as well". Other than that...nice shooting and nice vid.

[ghillisniper300]

@TheJacob1186 Ummm, not every one can. But really, shooting that far with irons in an AR15 isn't really terribly hard for most people either. We're talking about a 3,000 fps bullet in most cases and they tend to be pretty flat to that range and beyond. 550 yards is still in range of irons with an AR15, although it does get tricky at that point and you won't hit every shot. Take care.

[DTR4IN]

what kinda scope do you have?

[wavelength1970]

Its just a cheap Bushnell 3-9x40, I got it for free, its kind of banged up but it works perfectly. So good in fact I bought a Bushnell 6-18x50 for my 22 rifle.

[shananagans5]

Cool. Where did you get that scope mount? I have been looking for one like that.

[wavelength1970]

Either Cabelas or Gander mountain, they are only like $20. I got one that's a little taller so I wouldn't see the front sight post through the scope.

[eriequiet]

cool video, but no offense It looks a little put together. its cut after every shot, could either be to put the hits together or just to cut out a lot of the empty space, either way still a good video, may I ask what type of steel do you use and where do you come by it? I am looking to start shooting some steel with my ar-15 but I also need to get some kind of optic..

[wavelength1970]

I did cut out some sections of me aiming, breathing etc...but these 5 shots were consecutive. I have lots of videos where not all 5 hit...but why would I want to post that!?

It was actually easy to hit once I got the scope dialed in.

The steel was a paint substrate from my former job. It was blasted steel meant to simulate the steel used in railroad cars. Not sure if it was hot rolled or cold rolled...

[kent12456]

My son who is currently serving in Iraq tells me that the M4 was adapted by the military because so much modern warfare is in an urban environment where many encounters are at shorter range. if this is true, that may explain the shooters dissatisfaction at longer range. (this is strictly an uneducated guess on my part.)

[wavelength1970]

I have heard the same thing, I think the lack of long range performance is more due to the light bullet than the gun itself. I'm pretty happy with the accuracy I get with mine, now if only the trigger was better...

[yoshman139]

how far is your ar good for i have a 20 inch olympic arms ar15 and a dmps identical to yours i wanna turn my 20 inch into a sniper style setup

[wavelength1970]

I think 600 meters is the absolute limit for the 5.56/.223 round. I've never shot mine past 275 yards (253 meters).

Get a .308 if you want longer range....

[wavelength1970]

AR15 is the civilian version of the M16. Semi-automatic only. The 7.62s are for my Mosin Nagant rifle.

And yes..it is fun :-)

[jpp721]

@mechaike don't quote me on this but i'm pretty sure the m16 is different in operation... i think it has to do with a different bolt/gas piston operation or something... and no you can't shoot 7.62s in it... it's 5.56 or .223...

[chimichanga1254]

@mechaike they are differint and u can get 762s for it if u get a ar-10

[The5thBenPomeroy]

@mechaike AR15 is the civilian version. The M16 was fully automatic... aaand thats illegal now without a hefty check book and the right licensing

[kuyakev]

good shootin buddy

[floridashorti]

Yep, I'm impressed. Great shootin.
