This was a monster stream, sorry it took so long to get the time stamps published. Hope ya'll enjoyed, and we'll see you in the next one
Red Right Hand is definitely present in the gun-tuber verse, wouldn't mind try one of their uppers when i get other projects completed.
I’ve been watching these “ar-rpk” style with interest. It will be next on the list after NV/thermal
First?
Hey Focus, love your channel. My new favorite RUclipsr. Especially these longform discussions about the autistic parts selections. Makes my commutes great again. Please keep it up.
Glad to help and thanks!
I actually came back to this video to take notes because now I was one of these... I spoke with some of my buddies because we didn't want to do it unless we could logically solve the magazine loadout issue. We all just decided it makes sense to have everyone carry an extra two AR mags on the back of their kit for the auto-rifleman to grab and replenish his stock. Or for anyone to grab as needed if there is no auto-rifleman. We are all pretty comfortable with that new SOP so we're looking to get one.
Great talk guys! Working on my LSW video
Sweet, waiting for it!
Over the years I had done the mental exercise of trying to come up with a solution to a civilian "MG" that is affordable, and I had no idea Red Right Hand existed. I came up with a solution, but it was mostly based on expendability. The idea that this weapon could be fired till it breaks, and then abandoned, and replaced with another cheap build kept on reserve. A lot of what Cody is saying sounds great, and it's making me stray away from the expendability approach and towards something more sustainable...
I thought the best solution would be a cheap (yet dependable) AK build because you could "adapt" it easily and stockpile the ammo easily due to a low cost per round. Or an AR build with a thicker chrome-lined barrel and replacement barrels or upper receivers in reserve for a more sustainable solution.
Cody has me thinking there's other options I hadn't considered.
First saw these uppers years ago on admin’s channel and thought they were dope! Personally I really like the idea of everyone in a group running these. As civilians we don’t have 240’s but if everyone is running an “auto rifle” I think it doesn’t matter that we don’t have those MGs.
Great discussion, looking forward to the next one with Cody 👍

Also check out Cody@RedRightHand and tell him thanks for coming on!
One of the biggest concerns with the civilian auto-rifle (or even military mag-fed auto rifle) that people neglect till it's slapping them in the face is the drum magazine pouch issue... Carrying 50-75-100 round drums is not easy. There's very few pouches focused on that, and it's cumbersome, and can make it hard to lay in the prone. To really make this role possible we need some gear companies to solve that issue too.
As it gets more popular more companies will make gear for it.
@@CByers-lh3zq I wouldn't be opposed to some kind of custom drum magazine bandolier or satchel, because you're not dealing with any ammo belts so dealing with a shoulder strap wouldn't be asking too much of an experienced gunner.
But I feel like the best solution is having an assistant gunner and/or ammo bearer, who can grab ammo out of his pack or your own. The only issue there is you run the risk of slowing down what would otherwise be a very quick-footed gunner by attaching another man to his hip. Also running the risk of immediately losing half your MG ammo if the AG goes down. So you'd need to work on SOPs to compensate for that. Especially if a 60rd drum means the AG needing to assist with reloads way more often than any normal AG would.
Magpul D60s fit into fairly slim pouches and a belt kit could carry 4 without issue.
Box magazines will still hold more round on kit than a drum, drums should likely be used as ambush responce and ambush instigation with box magazines as sustainment.
Some very solid information here! Auto is fine. But it don't mean wipe If ya can't feed it. And as always, thanks for the share!!
Everyone wants to forget that the Daniel Defense mags hold 32 with a minimum increase in size.
I always forget about those.
Will you be making the aluminum heat syncs available to go along with your barrels? I love that you guys are selling the components
Schmeisser (German AR manufacturer) also makes 60rd coffin mags which are about the same height as a 40rd magpul (downside, I know) and about the same width as the Quattros. Polenar Tactical has reviewed them and found them to be reasonably reliable, if extremely painful to reload. I've found they carry very well in the British PLCE belt kit- can fit 1 coffin and 1 regular mag per pouch (or 3 regular mags). Because it is a belt pouch system, your front is kept clearer for going lower into prone. Additionally- the gen2 Schmeisser's have windows to indicate rounds remaining for admin purposes and cost less than half the MagPul D60 Drum. But, YMMV and you might just find them to be too tall.
I ❤ my plce kit. We need more plce content
Has anyone given any thought to the belt-fed uppers for ARs?... Obviously the issue would be the lack of full-auto (which can be worked around with binary triggers or if forced-reset becomes a thing again) but also the lack of links for belt-fed ammo. But it seems like a good solution to the magazine capacity issue.
FightLite AR upper is dual-feed beltfed or magazine, but it’s like $7k at time of this video.
They are insanely expensive.
@@FocusTripp They are compared to what was discussed in this video, for sure. But compared to an actual M249 variant, they're very inexpensive. So the question becomes just how much money does your group have, and can you "adapt" them if needed? Because I can tell you from experience, a mag-fed squad automatic weapon is insufficient for prolonged engagements. It's more of a skirmisher's automatic rifle. If you can move on the enemy quickly, fine. Otherwise a weapon like the RPK is primarily used for suppression while breaking contact.
Linked ammo and spare parts also becomes a huge logistical issue for the civilian.
@@user-ul4rf8jp9f I don’t think most civvies can *be* in prolonged engagements- if you are, you’re probably doing it very wrong… whatever *it* is. I’m vague enough to confuse myself at the moment.
w/regards to suppressor attachments- what do yall think of CATs 1/12 left hand thread (w/taper)? Should be self tightening and keep the schmoo off the threads. Also: CAT does a pretty good job of reducing back pressure while still keeping really good tone- their ODB in particular.
I would absolutely love if you could add some time stamps for different topics. Listened to this while cleaning and now I’m trying to hunt for the barrel material conversation. Specifically the stainless nitride durability conversation
We are working on that right now.
@@FocusTripphugely appreciated a buddy of mine just ordered this upper and I’m jealously nerding out.
As far as the stainless barrel with nitride treatment, are we talking about 416R stainless?
And how about combining the barrel system with the Fight Lite belt fed upper? That would be fun.
Fightlite has quick change barrels. And that Kind of defeats the purpose of the auto rifle. The logistics for civilians would be better served with a mag fed auto rifle not a belt fed. Yes I know the fightlight can use AR mags but still
The cost on those is truly prohibitive though.
With it being a civilian rifle, how would you get close to full auto fire? Binary trigger?
Love the concept, just would want it to function like full auto and reliability.
Right... bottom line is: you won't. Odds are you won't train that way (since you kinda need a team or squad to support to begin with) and you won't spend that kind of money on ammo. It's a neato military concept, wholly unsuited to practical civilian use.
It takes practice and working with a group to make it possible. Also, there are other options for FA simulation that may be coming back shortly.
A trigger crank isnt a bad option. There's a crank built into an AR grip that I cannot remember the name of so its a normal grip until the crank is engaged as opposed to a crank that attaches to the trigger guard.
I really, really want the PX-10 to return. Imagine what an mmg would be like with the base weight so low..
Will we get a red right hand/focustripp upper in the future? 👀
No, his are custom, mine are just off the shelf components.
It's a cool concept but who has the money to feed an auto rifle thousands of rounds? Not me. Also, binary triggers are cool but fall more in the caregory of range toy than duty use.
Also, I'm sure the ATF loves you too, Cody.
There are people who can spend the money (they own 3k-10k worth of nvgs). But yes for most of us it's just another option to consider. Also, video coming out on my Binary eventually.
Cool stuffs!
I haven't finished watching yet, but I keep forgetting to ask this question...
How much precise, in a practical sense, is a free floated barrel than a non free floated barrel?
maybe .5 MOA, less deflection with bipods as well. It's going to vary barrel to barrel.
I've been running panobridged 14s for a bit, specifically so i can lend a tube to a homie as needed
I kinda like the FOV as well.
@@FocusTripp FOV's nice but requires a bit more training than the intuitive twin forward facing tubes from most other setups. I like it though, I'm learning it. Might upgrade to Boomslangs (50 degree lenses) the next time I have too much money burning a hole in my pocket.
I have heard mixed things about the fisheye lenses.
@@FocusTripp Yeah it definitely feels like the kind of thing you need to try before you know you'll like it. But if it sucks, I'm sure there's people on the secondary market who would be happy to take it off my hands.
@@ultrazerglings2233 the NVG market is crazy
Funny how both this stream and the Trex livestream shitted on AKs on the same night. AK copers on suicide watch.
If they could read they would be very mad.
Delta thirty four? I like the setup. Heromod I think.
He would be good to get on.
Agreed, twisted fluting is ugly.
:(
Anyone who claims a regular infantry rifle starts at 12lbs has a screw loose. Fight me.
Here is my stance on it. If you think something is too heavy for you and your application/circumstances, it probably is.
Canada had AR-15’s for a long time. Even today, they are still legal, actually. ATRS made TONS of them. Based out of Calgary. And Stag10 was common too.
