Wow, Grand Thumb before his fans made him go insane. What a sight.
The comments section definitely huants this man's dreams and questions his sexuality every single day.
@@J.M.415 nothing like a little sweet man to man combat 🤣
And the TRT flowing through his veins :)
if you’ve ever been driven to insanity by an online fanbase, go ahead and hit that subscribe button
Before the cringey tattoos too
"Girthy" cracked me up.
All for you bae.
Can I ask why?
I remember this guy from the kid show "Blues Clues"
.
lol
Steve was never the same after the atf shot blue...
@@XneverstopfightingX lol
@@XneverstopfightingX wait… THE ATF SHOT BLUE?????
Aight, that’s it…
You've become my favorite channel easily.

10/10
And now he’s become your daddy
Subbed. The "girthy" bit sold me.
Bill Cosby indeed
Ahhh!!! I live in California... Pray for me guys, I need me a girthy rifle.
***** I did, I just want more... Plus I couldn't have one like his anyways.
Christopher Koontz same here :'(
Its pretty simple.
80% lower, upper, pick up "Homemade Military Grade Suppressors PDF", Pinned 10/30 or 10/40 magazines, A little drill press work, assemble and bury. Instant behind the iron curtain defense kit.
Can you give the links to your rail accessories and sling?
Why not move?
that black background, lighting is perfect in this video.......... Nice job.
Thanks brother!
But the camera is a bit too low. ;-)
@@Fugettaboutit *high
@@bravo6959 Framing is high, that means the camera is either pointed or mounted/leveled low.
@@Fugettaboutit Definitely too high for the *money* shot. We love ❤ 😍 Daddy.
He has definitely gotten more comfortable in his videos, still had some crazy but not nearly as much as now.
10/10 rifle and a 10/10 /k/ommando.would most definitely operate with.
KevinN kevin with 2 N's. 10/10 name, would say your name and prolong the N just for you. Would operate with.
This is truly a forgotten gem 😎
I love how you flannelised the setup!
Great presentation. Very informative. I appreciate your explanations. Thanks for posting!
These videos are great! Keep up the excellent work
You know, whenever I have a shit day, and one of your videos show up in my feed, it makes me 5% happier, thanks Garand Thumb.
@Garand Thumb I love the way you setup your rifle. I just picked up a Ris ii had guard for my own mk18/cqbr build.
There has been a great evolution with Garand Thumb, you are great!
I've spent so much $ on grips and light mounts just to find out that they don't really work well with laser devices or allow me to get a good forward grip. Great Vid!!
I like cause you still give responses to the same questions people ask you again and again
Nice setup and great info Lt.
Great vid, don't know why I haven't heard of this channel. SUBSCRIBED!
Awesome video brother. I'm making a MK18 build next week, definitely going to take some of your personal preferences into consideration.
Make sure to check the updated video as well
If you ever look into lubrication you might take a look at non-detergent machine oils, they seem to stick to surfaces a lot better than detergent oil. They also don't foam up in the presence of water.
that OAF nation tee is fresh to death. great set up btw.
thanks fam.
Can't wait to get my Mk18 when I get back home! Three SBR's registered since I left. Waiting on two more suppressors too!
Love that setup, built a 10.5" AR pistol similar to that with a A2 style rear sight. While I wait for my sbr tax stamp.
Love you rocking that OAF shirt!
There's just something about that intro man
No flannel? Who is this guy!? Where is garand thumb?
This guy reminds me of Travis Haley. And that a compliment! Good videos man you got my sub
First instance of: The Review Room
I love how GT keeps hearting comments no matter how old the videos are
I subscribed to your channel. You have very good videos.
My English is not very good, but you speak clearly.
Good work, keep it up.
Never stop fighting until the fight is gone.
If I could be born again, I would ask to be born in America.
just earned a sub sir..nice content. very informative
That OAF nation though
subbed at "girthy".
What type of sling do you run and where would you get a PEQ 15? love the vids man, you're becoming my favorite RUclips channel.
I use the Way of the Gun Sling from Frank Proctor. You can buy civilian version of the PEQ 15 which is the ATPIAL-C. Main difference is main IR laser isn't as powerful and the IR illuminator in non-adjustable. Otherwise same body and equipment inside.
Sweet thanks for the reply, I got an LWRC M6IC that I'm getting fixed up to run at night with nods so I'm just looking for things that can help me there.
Love your content!!!!!
Great video, brother!
BTW I'm digging that Girthy MK18! Lol
GIRRRTHYYY.
I cried. Caught me way off guard.
your videos have really helped with my builds amd Anti-Thot awareness.
Wow! This is before Plaid Daddy went 'Space Force' and started wearing the plaid uniform... Fascinating.😑
3:04 dang that sling work clean
I enjoyed this video as I did many others on Garand Thumb. I would like to see a review of IR laser/illuminators and white lights. I am looking at buying an IR laser/illuminator that is reliable, ambidextrous, and suited to working in conjuction with a SureFire M300 Mini Scout Light.
Your videos are great . Civilian wantbee here , I have a mk18 sbr also, went with eotech , just wondering why u went aimpoint and why . Keep it up bro , best content so far on the internet . You have have ur dad Travis Haley beat on content lol
Look up a Thumb Rest, you might like that little accessory
Nice, really like your set up. Iv been wanting to make a MK18 MOD 0 clone.
ZzBiohazzardzZ love the mod 0, you run out of rail space fast though!
Garand Thumb Oh really? Ok, I'll have to take that into consideration. Thanks.
mateo1726 Oh ok, well all I'd really put on there is that surefire light and vfg that they used on them, and maybe the aimpoint comp m2 rails wise. Hopefully Trump gets rid of SBRs along with suppressors so I could do this properly.
Also, check out the CRD from Ferfrans. You may like it.
Man that intro is iconic
Love the page man.. You keep the stock trigger in there?
Humble beginnings.
It's flannel daddy's brother hoodie daddy. Travis has to be proud of his boys.
Garand Thumb is my Lord and Garavior.
Lovin' the videos, that's one legit SBR setup. Is there anything other than spray paint used on that rig? I saw some hex patterns in there. Oh, and I had the 'fortune' of attending Navy/USMC SERE in 2003. So yeah, that was fun... BOOTS, BOOTS, MARCHING UP AND DOWN AGAIN!
Any chance of a helmet/NVG set up vid?
Hey GT, can you comment on the terminal ballistics of the Mk18? Specifically, what would you consider to be the maximum effective range with this 5.56 cal. SBR given a single center mass shot with Mk 262 mod 1 ammo? I'm considering building a Mk18 type upper for home protection against anything from an emaciated zombie to a 200 lb mountain lion. My data, based on having a minimum impact energy of about 700 ft-lb for creating a good wound channel in flesh is about 100 - 120 yards.
Good video
what did you use to secure your surefire tape switch in the 3 O Clock position? nice gun great videos btw
Am I still cool if i shot a 16" ar15? Or is that the wackiest thing imaginable? Is a 14.5 or pistol a must now a days?
Hey brother, what's your view on the SF3P flash hider in combination with a 10.3" barrel with use with the SOCOM556-RC? Do you see extreme wear on the can's blast chamber and baffles? Just curious. I ran 100 rounds through mine and noticed some wear and am considering just running the gun unsuppressed 100% of the time. FWIW I plan to run the can on my 11.5 upper with a muzzle brake 100% of the time.
Please review the Ryker fist grip. It looks funny.
Hey Thumb, have you ever liked the finger pointing method? ie; holding a vertical foregrip while using the index finger of the same hand to point at your target?
“My factory built DD MK18” like that wasn’t a total flex
I'm new to the channel, so you may have already covered this, but if you haven't, what's a good CQB setup for a M1A Socom 16?
A video on different chest rigs
Hi, I love all your videos. I have a question: How did you paint this MK18?
Aww . When our flannel daddy was innocent.
HMmm really like the idea of sticking the pressure switch under the ATPIAL.
Whats youre ammo of choice in the 10.3 for stopping bad dudes? Also what do you consider the effective range with that ammo and with regular 55gr.
Ah, so this is the first video in the modern format. Gotta find the one where the flannel shirt made it's first appearance.
Are you still a fan of the FOSSA white sound stuff? Do you feel I'll notice a big difference between that and the BCM mod 1 or that Surefire your running?
Make a glove with magnetic section that locks to rail same place everytime. Mount lazer on glove. Who cares if it works, it would look pretty cool though lol.
Beautiful rifle and really well done video! What sling do you run btw?
Thanks brother. I use the Frank Proctor Way of the Gun Sling.
Nice gun nice video
Noticed you started getting a little short of breath when you said "girthy." not saying anything, just saying.
If you watch his newer videos, his voice is far less raspy...pretty sure he still smoked at the time of this video being made...probably explains the shortness of breath.
@@jakedunning9995 that explains the missing marlboros I left in the porch, wishing for him to come back from that milk run.
Does the KAC micro front sight interfere with the illuminator at all? Judging by the video it still looks like it'd cast a shadow with it or even cause sparkling with the IR laser. thanks
6 years after…. Garand, what colour is that spray you used for your awesome mk18 plz? 😊
In my experience the 7 inch AR barrels are fine if you are running a silencer on them all of the time. You mentioned that you advise against any barrel shorter than 10 inches. The silencer increases the back pressure and that makes it cycle more reliably and that seems to be the biggest problem with the really short barrels. If you were talking about getting bullets to stabilize out of short barrels I believe that you have to shoot several different bullet weights to see which one gives the best accuracy. Is there another factor to consider if using a short barrel AR? What weight bullet do you shoot suppressed and non suppressed? I hope I don't come off as a know it all I am just looking for a little more data.
No the problem with 7" barrels is the velocity on 556 is so slow its basically a 22lr and running a suppressor on it is a joke most suppressor will void the warranty on a 7" barrel because 75% of the power gets burned inside the can and will destroy it .
these older vids hit different
I guess when you wake up at night your going to have your NVGs on. shakes head love the tuning fork sound when your none suppressed how long have you been Sopops ?
Skip to 3:45 and click it a couple of times before you watch the whole thing, you're welcome
Try canting your peq 45 degrees up from the right rail
Why do you run your aim point all the way forward on the receiver - wouldn't it give better FOV if you moved it back or even just centered it over the magwell? Just wondering...
Whoa, whoa, WHOA! Where's the fuckin' "if you've ever" foreplay? I don't care if this is four years ago, get it fixed!
Between this and the scar 16s also in sbr format which would you choose? Price not being a factor
Have you ever used an Ergo XL grip? It’s the most comfortable in your hand. Only grips I use
hahaha.. so funny to come across this old vudeo, amd see what you're like when being normal 🤣 yankee Mr.Bean!
Hey man, love your channel just recently found it and I love the content you put out.
I just want to know, in your previous MK18 video, you were sporting a woodland combat shirt, was it Crye's shirt or another brand? I couldn't see the black Crye ribbon tag on the shoulder pockets.
It's a knockoff that I've been testing out for the last 6 months or so from some airsoft company. I'll be putting up my final thoughts on it soon.
Thanks dude, appreciate it. Keep it up.
it's good
I started running the 11.5 barrels a little over a year ago n I'm doing another pistol build currently, and I also switched to geissele rails which presents a problem with handguard length. I must have watched Mike n Lucas's mk18 vid 70 times to see what an 11.5 would look like with a 9.5 rail. I've decided to order yet another geissele rail n another 11.5 because in my mind the 1 extra inch sticking out not looking cool just doesn't outweigh the practical mechanical advantages. Maybe if enough of us bitch geissele will make a 10.5... or even a 10. Anything really. 9.5-13 seems like such a gap of waste when considering market potential. But after paying close attention to my handling of a longer rail system by another manufacturer I realized I wasn't using that space anyway. I kind of realized i wanted a socom FSB gun of some variety a few weeks ago.... those rails are 7in lol... I'm learning (sadly)- that I will never look that cool. Damn shame.
Yeah boss
In the intro the way thumb was spelt like "THUM3" gg wp
Now surefire has a light(dont know the name sry) that has both visible and ir light and you can switch it in seconds you just turn the cap an it changes between visible off and ir
Man what I would give to go back to 2016
One issue with using the pressure switch on top of the PEQs here in Alaska is with gloves. We lose alot of dexterity. My pressure pad is in the exact location on my M4 where your surefire pad is at. I've wanted a mk18 personally for a while, but could never justify the tax and registration. Hopefully the HPA changes that precedent and SBRs are next.
Thanks for commenting brother, weather here in WA never gets cold enough but I'd likely set my rifle up totally different were I that far north. Agreed, hopefully the HPA starts things up.
"Definitely not my issued PEQ-15, because that's not allowed"
Shame about it falling off a boat at night in the mountains in heavy fog a few months ago 🤭
What buffer/ spring set up are you using to accommodate the gas system?
What’s the length of the barrel and rail? Thanks 🙏🏼
Which surefire suppressor would work best on the 10.3" DD MK18. SB2 OR RC2? LGS is pushing me on the SB2. Your help is appreciated.
Can you do a full video on your Night Vision gear
Hey Garand Thumb,
I looked everywhere but couldn't find a video on it, but what Spec Unit were you in, and when you are in the military/one of the special forces units, do they let you customize or build your own setup for the field? Or are you issued everything you use?
Are you active duty? If so how hard was it getting a SBR and suppressor?
