    The Phase 5 ambi bolt release is top notch. Just a full install instead of just the add on but I love it.

    It is important to remember that these modifications are for competition purposes. While I am no where as good as Jerry in competition, I have the experience of having carried the M16/M4 pattern rifle/carbine in combat in desert environments,forest environemts and jungle environments over 40 years.of working with this rifle.
    Thus the extended magazine release is certainly not something you want on a duty gun or a rifle you expect to use for your own personal defense.
    The M16 origially didn’t have the ridge or rail around the magazine release that we are all familiar with today. Thus it was very easy to brush against a tree or tree branch in Vietnam and drop your magazine - turning your sleek M16 into a plastic one shot rifle. Among the first 2 modifications to the M16 [to become the M16A1] was the rail around the magazine release button.
    The extended magaine release effectively defeats the purpose of that rail. Remember Murphy’s Law - "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong and at the worst possible moment”.
    I had an extended magaine release on my competition rifle and took it off becaue in 3 environments [around the ranch, training with it and in competittion]. I repeatedly, accidently hit the extended mag release on something and dropped the magazine.

    Great video! By the way our Rukh offset mounts are all machined from Grade-5 Titanium. They felt like stainless because they have some heft to it, but actual steel mount would be too heavy and less durable. Love your contents and keep up with the good work!!

    • @seanoneil277

      Wasn't even aware you made this mount and that it has a pivot feature. Good stuff.

    Next, the BAD lever - the lever that allows you to release or lock open the bolt carrier with your trigger finger. It may not work on your rifle for the following reasons:
    1. Some upper receivers are not formed to allow that large a component to fit into the recess for the bolt release in the upper receiver.
    2. For some reason unknown to me, on some rifles, somehow the BAD lever increses drag on the bolt crrier and it won’t ever lock back after the last round in a magazine is fired while on other rifles that problem is intermittant - the worst of all possible problems with it.
    3. Personally I don’t like to fiddle around the tirgger unless my finger is going on the trigger to fire. Additionaly, if you wear gloves, there may not be enough spece inside the trigger guard for all three - the trigger, your gloved trigger finger and the BAD lever. An negligent discharge could result.
    Just because it works for Jerry doesn’t mean it will work for you. Try it if you like but experiment in a safe manner before you go to a competition and discover you launched a bullet before you wanted to.

    Awesome! A list of parts would be helpful, but interesting to see how a master so simply sets up a weapon.

    • @richarddangles69
      @richarddangles69 Год назад +5

      He'd get flagged for listing any useful info. RUclips has a boner for killing the 2nd amendment. There's a dozen different companies that make all those parts, I don't use any of wt Jerry uses. But I also don't shoot competitively and my AR is a hefty biatch 🤷‍♂️

    Very informative. I don't own an AR, yet, but it was educational to observe someone actually changing parts and explaing the process.

    Ok, my 3rd comment. If you attach the rear of your sling to the right rear of the buttstock [assuming you are a right handed shooter] you can transition the rifle to your left shoulder without putting yourself in a choke hold. This is helpful for shooting around the left side of a barrracade, the left side of cover or the left corner of a wall in your house.

    It is with great respect and admiration I ask you go through your actual competition rifle. The one you actually compete with. The one with likely a proof carbon barrel, carbon hand guard, adjustable gas block, some fancy BCG , some crazy buffer and spring, your trigger, safety's and how you develop loads it likes and adjust it. Also the why. Why you chose this part or piece and how they all work together. I think I speak with several others when I say I'd pay to see that info, wisdom and knowledge. I never comment, likely for good reason lol

    Cool video Mr. Jerry. I would like more information on the sling you use and maybe a sling video in the future on other types of slings. Also, does S&W make an AR variant close to the specs of the military M4 using a 14" barrel length? Thanks

    Hey @Jerry Miculek what are your thoughts on H.R.1808 - Assault Weapons Ban of 2022. From what I saw in their the government wants to ban anything that makes a AR a AR. From the forward grip to the moveable stock and detacable mags. And that is just for starters. I cant find any new info on the bill but it did pass the house.

    What red dot are you running? It looks like a pistol red dot.

    • @ontopofitnews
      @ontopofitnews Год назад +1

      Vortex, its common to run small red dots for the sub 10 yard shots where the scope offset is going to be problematic instead of guessing your hold over. Yes its the same style red dot you will typically see mounted on pistols RMR is probably the most popular choice.
