@barnettzack if you get an AR with a commercial spec tube can you change it to a military spec and if so do you recommend doing that, and my AR has a heavy barrel on it but its really light actually but I'm a big guy so i really don't notice the difference

[barnettzack]

@SuperBlockster well i didn't like the quality of the commercial tube on that gun. (olympic i think) and at the time, the magpul OD green stock in the commercial diameter was on back order. so i just bought both mil spec stock and tube. i didn't make that 100% clear in the vid. i have a 11.5 inch SBR AR 15 that has a commercial tube and stock, and i don't plan to change it...

You're the first AR reviewer that knows what he's talking about. I don't understand dumbasses that like carrying a 30lb AR-15 with all the worthless shit attached to it.

My 6lb Maadi AKM RAPES!

[barnettzack]

@YouGotJEWD LOL thanks! but i'm no youtube reviewer, & i don't know every last detail of the AR 15. just that having a 9+ pound carbine defeats to definition of the word. i have a 11.5 inch SBR AR 15 still waiting on the paperwork... but it weighs in at 5.5 pounds!!! i was looking at one of those Egyptian AK 47 good deal, but i didn't move on it fast enough. thanks 4 watching.

and thats why you don't buy olympic arms.....

[barnettzack]

@mgcglock yeah, well...my 1st ar 15, and i didn't know these things till WAY after. the things you learn after you buy something.

Why is your eotech so far back?

[Errah08]

I liked you little video in the beginning, well minus the part where you DONT use your vertical grip you installed. :)

[JamieGunReviews]

Hey man who makes that multi tool that you are using?

[21alesko]

Are you selling your old parts?

[darthcollosus]

dude its mad easy to change ur barrel out you just need special wrench thats like 30 bucks theres really no reason to take it to a gun smith.

[darthcollosus]

idk if you know this or not but you said a milspec buffer tube is stronger or something like that but in fact actually commercial spec buffer tubes are a little bit thicker.

For future reference, you should be more careful with installing the trigger guard. It must have been a pain in the ass having it not fit, but if those tabs break it means buying a new lower. Any new upgrades since?

[rcserg]

They should call you the "butcher". I have not seen any beat on a AR like that. Nice work!

[rwallen11]

have you tried the mako mwg magwell grip?

[josh11915yo]

You can change barrels by yourself, just make sure that it was spaced before you buy it..
