shorter barrel and it would be even more bad ass

@xXGMonsterXx9 i have ATF paper work pending for two months now...! i made a retro version of the colt commando SMG (11.5inch), with A2 upper and lower, but with retro type furniture and flash hider. vid coming up when i get my tax stamp! thanks for watching

Hey man nice looking ar. Im planing on building one. Not sure if i want to go with a light weight barrel or not tho. Is it as strong? Also is it a big difference in thickness?

[barnettzack]

@APatrioticRebel the biggest thing i've noticed is the weight for sure, and cool down time is really fast on lightweight barrels, after rapid fire. like i've said in pt:1, a heavy barrel would be sweet in a 20inch ar 15. i don't like heavy carbines, i think it defeats the definition of the word. plus i have to carry it.

love the looks of your gun. Im looking at getting an bushmaster ar15 and doing black/dark earth. do you have any suggestions on ar15 markers ? i live in canada and can only own semiautos unless i start competing an then i can get fully automatics

[barnettzack]

@Captmorgann well i don't know anything about canadian gun laws and the ar 15... but as far as manufacturer's go, almost anyone with a forged lower should be good. this gun is a olympic arms and i don't recommend there products.(lots of fitment issues) i'm building a DEL-TON ar 15, but i'm still having some problems with products and customer service. so i don't recommend them either. i have used a lot of DPMS parts that were all great! so the next lower i buy will be from them.

Look great, good job on your vids!!

Spend $25 and get a screwdriver set! :)

[axs017]

you should look into a better quality lower receiver and a geissele trigger group

Bad ASS gun!!!

[darrellhood25]

i love this ar15 im doing one right now also in black/od green also with parts from magpul

[darthcollosus]

dude ur gunsmith kinda jacked u cuz that barrel is worth like 160-200 brand new depending on the barrel if it chrome lined or not and $50 to change ur barrel out and put on a new gas block is a lot man i would have done it for free its like a 10 minute job if that and anyone can do it. so he basically got a barrel he could sell for like close to $150 for just taking it off ur gun and giving u 2 pmag he prob spent like 12 bucks on tops. ouch dude

[OfficialDannyDifalco]

[AdrianR2000]
