@@muffemod the thing about the AR design is that it's very familiar and firearm engineers put that into perspective when designing stuff, and the AR charging handle is familiar enough for a lot of users and eventually, troops, that they no longer have to change the design so as not to mess with the manual of arms. It's also ambidextrous, provided they are supplied with ambi charge handles like those fancy geisele ones. They could make an AR with a different charging handle placement such as ones akin to the SCAR, ACR, BREN etc, but that requires new tooling and another design iteration and in turn, would add more to the price of the firearm.

Thanks Lucas! I've spent a lot of money on ammo and training for my 11 year old son since he has been watching your run and gun videos 4 months ago, my son would love to meet you.
I like your general silhouette option with the shorter barrels, full-cover freefloat that's front-heavy with lighting, forward-placed optic and the flash hider peeping out. All battleworn with experience. Function is the best form.
I love the idea of this kind of training.. The MOST unrealistic part is that the targets don't shoot back (not a bad thing) but this would be so much harder in real life.. That's why Lucas teaches more than anything... Because that's where it's most important.
I have been to a lot of ranges...A LOT. That is the sickest range I have ever seen...on grass with the railroad ties. I am going to build a range like that...honestly never would have thought to do this but it does beg the question...who goes on all the "brass hunts."
@@kentuckybeararms If you had a bunch of free time, a range like that, and alot of money, you'd be surprised at what you can do. Assuming you're in decent shape.
You're rifle is heautiful! Just throwing that out there, a little wierd I know but I have been looking for my next ar 15 I want to buy and when I saw yours I absolutely fell in love. Especially the stock is such a nice change compared to the factory one, the OD green paint is just beautiful. The stubby grip, everything just fits and is perfect. Now that I've done the research and watched your video I will undoubtedly buy an mcx. Also I love your videos just btw, how you film them, the parts where you talk actually keep me intrested and don't want me to just click away and even the green and white lettering on the video picture that I see in my youtube feed is so unique and just simply cool. Thank you for everything you do and keep on doing what you're doing. -Sincerely, a thankful fan
Hey Lucas, you should do a video on recoil management for a rifle. I have an annoying problem when I shoot, the muzzle always jumps to the right or left due to my using a thumb over grip. A video on this from someone who actually knows how to shoot would be greatly appreciated.
I know this is a year old, but if you're still undecided, I'll say ar, purely because the mcx doesn't really do much different, unless you're hell bent on a piston system, and even then... additionally, with what an mcx goes for, you'll have more to throw at goodies for the ar. All that said, I've never had the chance to mess with an mcx, but I do one day hope to own one. Three general consensus seems to be that while it's definitely awesome, you're still better served on the bang for buck front with an ar. Happy shooting.
Captain Chaos I know Sig sells an adapter that lets you run any standard ar stock, I believe that's what he's using but not sure what specific stock it is.
www.sigsauer.com/store/m4-style-stock-mcx-mpx.html It seems to be this one just with the magazine holder removed But as far as I can tell it's only for the MPX/MCX for obvious reasons xD
if i recall correctly Lucas threw up a video showcasing his firearms some time back. curious to see maybe an updated take by Lucas on his top 3 preferred rifles and why. link me otherwise.
Correct me if I am wrong but when you use the Geissele trigger in a Sig Virtus mcx you have to get a Sig firing pin latch for a Geissele trigger before it will fire, which I have done and then it fired perfectly Also Geissele will tell you that their triggers won’t hold up in a mcx . But so far mine has worked great
A good friend of mine is says that the mcx’s issued to the London Metropolitan Police keep getting sent back to Sig due to malfunctions, and quality concerns. They seem to have designed a great rifle but decided to cut cost when it came to manufacturing, like the ACR.
Can you make a video on what kind of gun oil you have found to work the best in high stress/ high work environments such as deserts and freezing temperatures. Also on what barrels you like over others. Thanks.
Great vid. You demo achieving good angles and accurate engagement with minimal exposure. Can you do a video where you discuss and demonstrate different angles firing off of and around covered positions?
Lucas... can you talk about the process you went through for all your tax stamps. I’m pretty sure this MCX is an SBR correct? And all your Suppressors, did you have to pay for a tax stamp for each and every one? Thanks man, great videos keep them coming.
What flasher hider is that ? I'm thinking it might be the FOSSA 556 since I couldn't hear any "ping" during his shoots which is common with other 3 or 4 pong flash hiders. Either way, very flat shooting for a flasher hider.
Lucas, when you had the barrel cut down to 13.7, did you have to modify the gas at all? I'd like to cut mine down but I'm worried since it's a piston gun that the gas would need modifying.
T. Rex, I am thinking about an AR system for home protection. I need your guidance on this matter; would you suggest this platform. Also, what accessories would you suggest?
5.56 or .300 AAC? Just curious as it seems like the report from the rifle seems lower toned. Idk if that’s even a factor, could be the recording equipment.
Zero experience with an ar here but have a question. I noticed you slightly drag your rear leg when moving and shooting. Is that to keep your body more stable?
hello T-Rex, i'm an italian guy fond of sig sauer. I wanted to ask you a courtesy. could you give me the links where there are all the changes he made on your Virtus MCX? and do you think the Geissele trigger is still the best trigger you can mint on the MCX? Best regards
question, i got some ar500 steel targets to shoot. they all instruct to shoot at least 100 yards with rifle rounds but almost all youtube video training videos have them way closer. 7 to 50 yards in most training videos. is it so safe that ppl just shoot them way closer and the target manufactuerers just say that so theyre not liable just in case? i prefer to shoot around 60 yards max. ill be an hour away from a hospital so i wouldnt risk anything.
Excuse me for being ignorant but what is he doing with his right hand after he is done firing? Is he really putting it on and off of safety every time?
Only just realised how great the name "T-Rex Arms" is, "small arms". 10/10
WTF, that just blew my mind....
Wowww...idk what to do with my life now
🤔🤭😲🤯 IDK where life can take me from here.
I can finally sleep now...you’re the real MVP
Just learned that now
"Switching to your sidearm is always faster-"
Lucas: *OR IS IT*
Major props to the camera guy. The shot at :54 was awesome.
Lucas, serious question. Where are you always walking to when youre speaking to us?? Will you ever get there? Find out. On the next episode!!
Albert
The answer will shock you!
FIND OUT NEXT ON DRAGONBALL Z
😂😂😂😂
He’s walking a mile away to go reload his magazines that he absolutely abliderated from shooting
I know that this is a joke but he’s obviously walking towards the camera
MCX is one of the most beautiful rifles I've ever seen
They took the retarded AR charging handle as a hand me down instead of designing something else.

Shooting under your own truck. Beast mode 1000. Legit
Maybe it was the camera man's ;)
Your camera crew is nasty good!
Young Guns Ohio took the words right out my mouth lol
Pretty much the best description ever. I can't even own a rifle in my country yet I still watch these videos.
one thing is that you are a good shooter, but that camrawork is fucking great!
Totally agree, Krundug. And their audio is always fantastic. Love this channel.
The audio is the most underrated element of this channel; the gunshots sound excellent, great production overall
true bro
New Modern Warfare Operator: Lucas. I’m sure many people would love this.
Edit: Yes, I know he turned it down, but a man can dream, you know?
they would need to balance/nerf him immidieatly upon release
He would have aim bot by default
That isn't a bad idea though, I mean, if Ronin could get in, why not he?
Won't happen since his homophobic ig post from a while back
@@mengx94 what post? Lol
The cadence on your transitions are seamless! You're a beast!
0:59 that weapon transition was amazing
Please do a video on this rifle and all of its upgrades!!
0:55... was nothing short of the coolest reload I’ve seen ever.
That range is badass. I wish I had one of those. I dream of shooting on ranges like that!
You have a amazing skill, accurate aim and target, perfect accurate shot. Wow...
Now Taliban has it too
SWEET FANCY MOSES that first minute is ridiculous. Love this channel.
Thanks Lucas! I've spent a lot of money on ammo and training for my 11 year old son since he has been watching your run and gun videos 4 months ago, my son would love to meet you.
I swear this guy reloads faster than my Modern Warfare operator. Subscribed
0:54 oh my god, great camera work there wow
As always, great videos! It was great meeting you and shooting that match at K&M with you! Good times.
That rifle sounds so beastly with the reverb of that range.
Dude is a machine. Great video, keep up the great work brother.
i don't even seek action movies anymore, i just plug into this channel. best talent, cameras, angles, even audio, on point.
I’m sure it’s just the acoustics of that range, but the MCX sounds sooo wicked in this video
Other than making it look really cool, how is it always raining in your videos??
+Brennan Bennett because it always rains on our scheduled video days hahaha
Better question, how do you clean that thing afterwards to prevent rust??
if you get the gun hot enough the water dries really fast lol
Thats not rain, those are liberal tears.

That range at you shoot it is awesome. Wish I had somewhere like that to train. Sweet rifle too btw
Loved how accurate you were shooting under the taco. Great content!
Can´t get tired seeing this! just awesome! the carbine sound it´s just amazing

Dude, could you do a comparative video dedicated MCX vs AR? Should I get an MCX or well built AR?
Well an AR Is gonna carry a bigger round
Unless you get a 9mm AR in which case , If you want 9mm go with the MCX
@@vcr4497 you're thinking of the mpx witch is 9mm mate. The mcx is 5.56 or 300 blk out

The quality of your videos are insane man, keep it up!
I just fell in love with that rifle...
I realize after shooting a burst of shots, he moves his hands like that 2:10. What is it for?
and again at 2:22
He's flipping the safety selector.
Who is this guy? Awesome props to you Trex Arms. I enjoy your channel.
Favorite video of my 5yr old son. He always wants to watch it and then he is running and gunning... 😂
Is that the OG MCX? If so where did you get the handguard.
And then I read the description... nevermind.
Yoooooo www.midwestindustriesinc.com/category-s/448.htm

No problem xD

Great video but uhmm... is there a chance we're going to see the slr 104 in action again?
Awesome video as always. Off topic question, any plans on doing a video for the MP 2.0 Compact? What about holster options for it as well?
+John Kercheval yes
Awesome. Love seeing the MCX!

1:55 I strive for this level of athleticism and all around bad-ass operator skill.
Man, that under the truck pov was awesome!
For everyone who asked about his jacket it's last year's (2016) Men's Patagonia Triolet Jacket.
Awesome video bro.
Just wondering if we are going to see the SLR 104 again anytime soon?
Great shooting Lucas and great camera work camera guy

Also Geissele will tell you that their triggers won’t hold up in a mcx . But so far mine has worked great
Not to throw shade towards Colion Nior. But I love TRex's straight forward more pew pew less talk. Rather than Colion's poetic talking points.
Honestly I’m subbed to Colion for his poetic talking points and to Trex for his pew pew skills
As always great shooting!! Was wondering if you had any input for someone looking for a more budget friendly ir laser and light for an ar.
lucas are you still running the MCX, and if so what's you're round count on it? thanks
Can you do a rifle setup video on this rifle would love to know what stock you are using
So boss. Thanks for pushing me to train hard on quick sight acquisition.
+Hank Fries you're welcome!

Zero experience with an ar here but have a question. I noticed you slightly drag your rear leg when moving and shooting. Is that to keep your body more stable?
Will this fit the Virtus pistol? I have an SSAE on my 516. But dont know if I have to be MCX specific in regards to the Virtus?
That run and gun was majestic as fuck.
who did your cut and crown and any issues with it being a piston gun? i have the speaar just scared to chop it
Question: Did you use a Sig Sauer 1913 adaptor to put that stock on your MCX? What stock is that? Thanks.

Shots from under the taco sound absolutely awesome
So Ive heard you say WOLF ammo... ....223?? What metal mags do you run? And why might one choose an Eotech vs an aimpoint?? Thanks Lucas!
What kind of steel plates are u shooting? Ar500,550? And do u find they pit quickly from shooting at such close distances???
just curious, when you drop the rifle and go to your sidearm, do you flip the safety on the rifle? It doesn't look like it
+Brian VanDerVelde I usually do. Depending on rifle/safety style or how fast I do it, it doesn't always happen. Need to work on it more
still think this is the best option for the MCX or have there been any new additions that you prefer for your MCX?
thanks
