- Lucas Botkin explains some of his mindset that goes into building out a carbine, and then breaks down his well-used BCM build.
Setting up guns is about mission and mindset. Not just cool parts and expensive accessories. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Thank you for not having an obnoxious intro, getting to the point, and not wasting my time with tangents. Your future is bright. Keep up the good work.
God is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When the slowest thing in your reload is the gravity pulling the spent mag out.
John Dominy 😂😂😂No kidding.
👍🏼👍🏼
Sidecraft has entered the chat
So gravity is too slow, the mob cap is filling up too fast, so we push them into the nether to increase yield.
That’s why you give it a flick to assist
imagine breaking into his house and hearing the sound of his timer
🤣🤣🤣
LMAO
What was the last thing you hesrd before you die *lucas botkin shot timer beeps*
“You can only shoot at what you can identify”
*Suppressive fire has joined the chat*
I’d hope you get a PID first...
**US military squad gunners have joined the chat**
@@roccofili3054 ROE, get shot at you're allowed to fire back.
otherwise like the other guy said PID.
Only thing I can afford to put on is the electric tape.
Albert for me it depends on the electric tape
Oh what kind? MISSION. DICTATES. ELECTRIC TAPE!
Albert Well that depends...are you a Tactical Electrician?
What's it like being rich?
did he hit the lottery or something, I have a lot of gear an some tier 1 rifles but i work a lot lol!!! JUST SAY'N
your slowmo reloads are faster than my normal reloads lmao
Jonathan p, truth there man truth there. I'm really having to evaluate my jelliness right now while I down my Geritol ;)
Jonathan p 😂😂😂 same
Same here I'm crying
Lmaooooo
I almost choked on my steak breakfast reading this. Too good.
This is a strait up no nonsense vid, I like it. Also the reload and shooting skill was absolute insanity. nice job!
I can agree I had to subscribe ASAP
Insanity indeed my friend......
Ah strait from the aka guy whose rifles may not have “straight” barrels.
i know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Hayden Colt Instablaster :)
when a robber breaks into his home but the alarm is beep stand by and he starts dry firing at the robber
Now that is a rifle. You treated it like a weapon, not like a child. We don't meet many people like you. Keep it coming.
+Makar Lock 👍🏼
its a tool
Hell yes, if you run them hard, they don't look pretty. I get nervous when I shoot with someone who rifle looks more F-up then mine.👍👍👍👍👍
@Donald Trump hell, before eating.
SemperFiMac77 Hell a blind veteran could scrub his m16 shiny new.
Dude video quality, balance of discussion with variations of illustration, and being able to speak well is making your videos extremely informative and enjoyable to watch. Keep up the hard work and the content coming!
+Alexander Davis thanks man!
The video is superb and the shooting was outstanding! Thank you for the info on the tape deal, very smart! Do you run a trading school that one can attend?
War belt vids!
Only started watching a few vids and this channel is quickly becoming one of my favs.
Alexander Davis Completely agree!
6 Years later watching this is still inspiring; this video got me started watching TRex content and taking shooting seriously. I modeled my first AR after this build and built my skills with it.
Favorite line... “every part should serve a purpose”. Lots of “cool” guys out there. Money doesn’t equal marksmanship
Also knowledge doesn't make you the best shooter. Some people think because they read every single book on how to setup a rifle then that makes them good. Practicality is the smartest..knowledge, power, marksmanship.
You remind me of a tactical McLovin.
Greatest comment ever!!!!
Mclooooovin
I'm worse.. at 50, I take out my tricked out my AR M400 and yell, "freeze dirt bag!" It's at that point that I blow my gallon jugs all the way to Hickok 45's ranch! Lol. Great stuff.
Hells to theeeee yeahhh 😅
Taclovin
"I don't really clean my rifle. I just re-lube and keep going.."
*closes dust cover*
is that an ok thing to do with ar 15? just re lube it and maybe run a bore snake though the barrel
@@plasmamunchkin3400 Yep. So long as you aren't like using super shitty ammo or really over pressuring your rifle, you can run an AR like that for a pretty long while with minimal issues. That doesn't mean you shouldn't clean it though, just than you won't need to every single time you take it out to the range.
@@plasmamunchkin3400 It is. Rob Pincus talks about that. He has fired rifles without cleaning them until failure. I think you have to shoot like 30,000-50,000 rounds before failure. Pretty crazy.
@@ryanstanley5634 WOW, THAT IS CRAZY, But with today's cleaning product and how convenient it is you can just spray it down and use a bore snake then just stay on top of it it should be OK I don't think we're in a battle, where I have no time to clean your gun!!!
So long as you don't run corrosive or high pressure it'll be good for a long time. Main concern after tens of thousands of rounds is the gas tube but that's not part of a field strip cleaning anyway.
Watching this again, I appreciate how things you have changed with time. Maturing as a shooter. Something we should all do.
Another awesome video. Love the clear mindedness with which you present the practicality of your choices.
Thanks Luke.
Absolutely love the “Lucas style” of information. Just straight out facts, none of the salesman crap! Something I picked up long ago from Lucas... spend your money on ammo and training! Great Job, Fantastic info! Stay Safe.
And on Lucas! This guys deserves the support.
Best shooting channel period! And my kids can watch because it's clean. Thank you
Your kids could watch if it weren't clean too. You don't have to hide the world from them lol.
For a dirty world mat as well teach them how to live in a dirty world
@@skepticmoderate5790 yeah but at the same time, when anyone listens to to much bad words they usually start using those words. So it's good to stay clean, but know what it there.
@@thetruthyes That's not necessarily true. Any kid who goes to public school will learn bad words pretty quickly, but that doesn't mean they'll use them.
I appreciate your wealth of knowledge and the concise simplicity with which you share it!
Hey Lucas, I am a former Marine (artillery), never got a lot of rifle time, that was for the grunts. You have covered more info in two videos than I have found in the past month. Moved from CA, and now own two ARs; researching options for my rifle.
Dude, this guy's trigger finger is absolute craziness. Absolutely dropping a sub. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
As someone who is new (within the last 2 yrs.) to guns, it's refreshing to see a fellow non-military/LEO civilian give input and knowledge about this subject. You are obviously well-versed and trained; however I admire that your knowledge comes from personal passion and dedication. Please keep putting out content. This channel is one of the best on TH-cam right now.
+Harry Doyle thanks Harry! Glad I can help.
This man and this chanel has grown on me a lot. He is so crispy with his operating. I love it.
I paid close attention..
He fired one round, reloaded, and fired two more rounds before the mag hit the dirt. Thats so fast, i now believe terminators exist and they arent 6'2 and 200lbs of solid muscle..they're the guy you least expect.
Those terminators you're talking are of model T-800. This guy is like T-1000000!
the t-1000 (idr the model, i just know he was a slender, unassuming looking guy) is basically what you just described (the guy you least expect)
You always gotta watch out for the guy built like Mclovin.
@@tjfrye11 you're thinking of Robert Patrick and i will always suspect him of being evil lmao
Those aimbot reflexes tho
So fucking true. When I saw him with the night vision on I swore he was hacking lmfao
It was nice to be young once and to have had the ability to move as fast as he does now. I can still hit what I shoot at just not as quick, quick enough I hope, just not as quick. He does have a platform that "solves problems" as he put it. I like his decision making process, use only what works for YOU.
@@ernestpaul2484 minimize, anything lighter will drive faster.......I'm 35 and definitely not this fast but can hold my own, I got a shot timer app on my phone that is awesome has helped tremendously but when working on speed they say slower will make you faster. Go check out Pat Mac if you wanna see a bad ass old timer with a gun the guy is a beast.
God bless you, Lucas! Keep pushing out the great content!
Thank you so much for the slowmo on the reloads. I just spent half an hour searching TH-cam and couldn’t find it. Came back to your videos to enjoy and found exactly what I was looking for.
I tried out this thing called a BAD lever once and have never not used on since. So nice having control of the bolt with the right hand
Here's some video ideas: general tips to reduce your match time, what exercises do you do at the gym to help your shooting and match time, how you do dry fire training, how do you control your adrenalin in a match (this could be in general tips), how to get the most training per bullet, how do you maintain your guns, what's the best way to buy ammo for the least amount of money, what are good and economical firearm choices for 3 gun or for other popular competitions, what gun belt you use and how you set it up, what you find important in the guns you have chosen for your competitions.... I think that's all live got. Your content and quality of production is excellent, keep up the good work
+Connor Madsen good stuff! Got a lot coming up. :)
Great video with lots of good advice. Amazed that your rifle is still running after 16K rounds of wolf ammo. Lucky gunner did a comparison shoot of various 5.56 and bore erosion was significant with Russion steel case ammo.
I love the patina on your gear.
Wow, what a great video. Awesome, no nonsense advice from a really practiced, skilled mechanic.
Straightforward and to the point. Love this.
Just have to say thank you for a great video. I have handled firearms since I was 6 but this is my first AR and I was about fed up of all the crap videos out there. From guys who ramble to others who I'm not sure how they stayed alive this long the way they handle guns, this was by far the best. Thanks again. I now have a place to start on this new hobby.
+anthony roberts you are very welcome!
I am very impressed with your narrative, product and delivery. I love it man! Thanks for sharing some really cool stuff! Cheers.
I've watched this video over and over while building my rifles. Thanks for the clear and simple advice. I went with a suppressed 300 blackout for home defense and set it up much like yours. I haven't been able to afford night vision yet but maybe someday. Obviously whatever system you choose practice (rounds down range) is the most important part of the build.
Dude Your Skill Level Is Off The Chart! Excellent Content And Illustration Of How Each Tasks Should Be Mastered! Consider Me A Student And A Fan! Thanks For The Great Videos! Peace!
You make such good content you should upload more often.
+Lukas Phillips I'm trying! Haha. It's a lot of work to plan, shoot, edit, then post. :)
We understand! You're great though, keep up the good work!
Lukas Phillips Definitely agree. Awesome content man, just keep it coming! haha
naw keep it when you can. Don't want to drop quality!
T.REX ARMS what would this set up cost without the peq-15?
Such a great video. As a new Rifle owner I really loved this. Keep it coming and you've earned a subscriber for life.
Great frickin video bud! One of the best I’ve seen so far! Well done.
Just found you......your calm, collected attitude and knowledgeable talk just earned you a sub! Great vid man
Great content man, glad to see purpose over product.
One of the sickest builds I’ve ever seen
I watch a ton of weapons and tactical videos on here and very rarely make it to the end of the video because they have no useful content or little if any skills. Then I stumbled across one of your videos. Perfect. Content, shot and edited nicely, well spoken, and most of all, skills. Very well done young man. The first and only weapons channel I subscribe to. Keep it up.
I say just keep it simple. I own an AR-15 Saint pistol with the tactical arm brace. I installed Magpul flip sights and that works great for me. I will probably add a light to it but other than that the Saint AR-15s come great right out of the box.
Most important thing to add is training time. No accessory can beat that. You said it best at the end of the video. “Train hard.”
Nice closing statement! Keep up the great work!
Wow, amazing shooting in the range Lucas - quick, on the line and very accurate. Impressed bro I am hooked to your channel
Three years I have been watching this video and this rifle build is the only one that has ever made sense to me. It took me some time but I literally have it. I really appreciate the no bull**** logic.
"One of the biggest questions I see asked is, how hard should I bend my hats visor"
Underrated
Been waiting for this video
Pretty neat to see how development of the channel has come now from then. Good stuff.
Been watching his videos for a few years and this one still the best 🔥🔥
2:43 was the most beautiful reload I’ve ever seen
The full speed footage gives me chills every time I see it
70 ppl are just ridiculous. Why would you thumbs down this kid? Excellent video...I can't afford any of the shyt that he has, but excellent all the same.
+Len Conyers they jelly haha. Thanks man!
I just dislike how LARP-ish it is.
statement at 1:20 is misinformation
T.REX ARMS they are very jelly, that's the only negative in the firearm world haters everywhere. Lucas what's your opinion on Aero Precision products, or not much experience with them?
When your in the middle of a desert you don't get to order in 50 different attachments and tend to get used to just the rifle and maybe a sight. If you collect good boy points you might get a flashlight (don't know why you would ever need one unless your seal team six though), rail covers, or grip but generally you get extremely comfortable with just the barebones rifle. This video is essentially a kid talking about how using a bike with training wheels is the best way to ride a bike. But i can tell you after 1-2 hours of using the rifle that grip isn't going to be so fun to hold on to, and youll want to just pull your hand back. Also throwing on a flashlight, laser pointer, and grip might not seem like a lot of weight but once again, if your using it for extended periods of time it tends to get heavy. I didn't personally dislike it but i can see how some people might.
I do not know your age but thought this was going to be another "Boy with his AR video" but I was truly amazed with his level of knowledge for his weapon and especially how he hit the nail on the head with his set up is best for him for what he does which was very obvious...great muscle memory and weapon control. Instantly hit Subscribe after watching this video, looking forward to viewing more of his videos.
I agree with others, well spoken, to the point with solid info. Nice video and great job! Thanks for sharing.
Okay, I honestly didn't assume I'd gather much good info when I saw how young he looked, but that dude can run a AR-15 like John Wick lol
John Wick wants to be like Lucas when he grows up. 😎
Angry Muffin04 what are you basing that statement on? Honestly curious.
Angry Muffin04 hmmm, well, as a novice shooter, I have experience with none of the above. Theoretically though, seems like somebody could be versed in both forms of engagement.
That reload time was insane. Your hand eye coordination is other worldly lol.
Best 7 min you will invest. Good info, on point, interesting and well worth the time. Great advise.
Finally a well edited, to the point, video without some overly long dubstep intro and awful sound. Earned a sub for sure
*start of video: this kid is like 13 years old, he can’t teach me $hit
*end of video: I wonder if this fine gentleman would agree to be my hero...
Griff fuck law enforcement.
@Griff just teaches them...
Griff LOL okay bootlicker. I guarantee he’d outshoot and outmaneuver you 99/100 times.
Griff I’m retired army myself, but I know plenty of soldiers who never fired their weapons except at a range, and only to stay current on their qualifications. If that’s the kind of “experience” you’re referring to, no thanks. Weapons proficiency is weapons proficiency, period. This kid is a gifted shooter
@Griff dude no one cares lmao
The heart of the rifle, that sounded so deep and profound :')
Great breakdown man!!!! I throughly enjoyed watching this video!
This is a really well put together video. Great work.
Lord forgive this man if anyone ever breaks into his home 😂
Amen to those guys
The beep would be the last thing they ever hear 😂
T-Rex is just spreading the gospel to sinner. As the bad guy visits his home. He gets a Jesus moment.
@@whomagoose6897 more like he gets an appointment with Jesus.
I just ran across this video. Good job!
I was beginning to think that only I and a few friends of mine were the only ones that ran ARs hard. I have 6 of them. 4 of them are in real good condition (mostly for plinking and hunting) and are not ran too hard but the remaining 2 are my favorites and we run the hell out of them and they look pretty much the same as yours!
This video was the blueprint for my Rifle build 2020
Build what's best for you. Wise words man. I have become partial to BCA uppers. They've never let me down. My ultimate build consists of a 10" upper with an upgraded nickel boron BCG, PSA lower (yea they're cheap but they work perfectly), Timney Targa drop in trigger. BAD lever, ATI grip, anti walk pins, MAGPUL BUIS and foregrip, SB Tactical pistol brace, Sig Sauer red dot sight, and a Streamlight TLR1HL. I also have become very impressed with the "Okay Industries" aluminum magazines. I bought a couple at a pawn shop several years ago and absolutely loved them. So I did some internet searching and found more available. They're very lightweight and reliable. Anyway, I dig your videos and trust your advice sir. Thanks for the upload!
Just discovered this channel. First thought upon starting to view was that I've eaten bagels that might have had more age than this "kid" who is posting.
Having said that, I listened to what he actually had to say and I was very impressed by his understanding and appreciation for philosophies of use and how they differ case by case. Color me impressed, not to mention this "kid" is a shooter and demonstrates that also.
Subscribed and will be following going forward. Nice video young man.👍🏻👍🏻
+david elkins thank you David! I just try to work hard and keep an open mind. Take care man!
Don’t sleep on people based on looks. People are quick to judge.
I know someone who’s a professional in their sport(well known) and their 10 year old dominated a lot of adults who have been doing that sport for decades longer.
A straightforward, well versed gun owner trying to give newbies clear information?! *confused gun control advocate noises.*
🗣💯
Watching that 1R1 in slow motion video is a thing of beauty. Very pretty video.
Concise, straight to the point and I’ subscribed! Thanks for a great, informative video!
Lucas...Great video. It's the first one of yours that I watched. You can go places, young man. Your thoughts are concise and very well presented. I subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more of your vids. One suggestion. Instead of tape, use Velcro cable ties. You can get 100 of them for about 10 bucks or less. They have a multitude of uses. I've gone through 200+ of them in the past 7 years. if one is not long enough you can easily put 2 or more together to get the length you need. I use them to keep cables. cords, hoses, etc; neatly wrapped up.
I keep coming back to this video because I think the rifle is beautiful.
I was thinking i was the only one, battle worn look is the best look.
@Bernard El do you know what rifle that is?
Genaoraxion! Do u know what rifle that is?
@@calebgarcia8047 BCM 14.5" upper with whatever mil-spec lower you want. Also BCM bolt carrier group and possibly Raptor ambi charging handle. Aimpoint T2 red dot. Surefire Scout light
@@surfingtothestars correction it’s a 13.7 inch upper
This might be my favorite video ever. Just bought my first AR15. Thank you for all the info!!
Very good video 👍🏽👍🏽 Thank you, well put together.
He should have his own character for call of duty
Put this guy as skin in warzone
Well, he did mocap in cod. So I guess in a way, he is integrated in the game already.
WHOA!!!!! A video where Lucas is NOT saying "If you suck, you suck." ..... This must have been before the point in time in which Lucas concluded that, he's awesome and we all suck.
You share some good practical knowledge for such a young guy. This is helpful information for a lot of people
bro the quality of these videos is awesome
You are WICKED fast! That was great!
that's alot like the set up it had when I was in Afghanistan with the light and pac 15. but holy fuck your fast
+THE Justin Schmidt thanks!
There sites online, like Bite the Bullet for example where you can get bulk ammo affordably. I believe he has some videos about how he prices and finds ammo.
@deh175: Considering he is "The Man Behind T.REX ARMS "... I'd say it is job related :D:D
I use ammoseek. If you are buying in bulk and looking for cost effective rounds for practice, it's a great site. It runs down just about every online retailer and gives you a price per round on all of them.
Excellent and very informative video as usual!! Thank you
Thanks from Canada. Well researched. Well said and presented.
One of the best videos from a younger person i have ever seen. Good job
Brother, I don't know why you aren't more well known on TH-cam? You are a straight BEAST, when wielding a firearm! Great video, as usual.
+Trae UCity thanks man! Only just started. But over 20k subs already, so... I'm sure it'll come with time. :)
Wolf ammo with little to no cleaning. Wow, that’s impressive. I’ve seen this video at least 100 times and that carbine platform is probably my fav out of your collection. Your Arsenal AK74 is probably my second fav.
My question is why the heck you don’t 1m subs yet? You’re video is amazing! You’re one of the biggest reasons why I go to the range
It's awesome how he just gets straight to the point the entire 7-minute video.
this is the only guy on TH-cam whose gun advice I take. toooooo many tacticool beard faces in chest rigs and ballistic helmets on TH-cam. excellent videos and I can wait to buy a ragnorok
Don't know if you ever got that Ragnarok, but I LOVE mine. Recommend all day long. And the sidecar as well. This dude can make a holster
how so?
He said to use that in case you have a baddy in your house for real? I think a shotgun or a pistol carbine would be a much better choice, also ideal if someone else in your family should have to use one as well.
an AR will not be ideal in every situation, that would have been a wiser thing to say in my opinion, still if thats all you have expect some holes through your house and probably your neighbors as well thats not to mention any collateral damage.
Amen, the beard shit needs to stop
Then you see Asian guys who put a beard on to look like them
@@Holret have you ever actually seen any ballistic tests on pistol caliber carbines and shotguns vs a 55gr AR bullet? You get FAR more over penetration through sheetrock walls than you do with a 55gr projectile. If you dont know, and I mean know by doing the experiments it isnt wise to boast so strongly your uneducated opinion. It SEEMS like a PCC or shotgun might be better, but the data show that in an experienced persons hands, an AR is a great choice for in the house.
Agree 💯 on that trigger and a milspec lower plus bolt carrier I run sharps industry and a mega arms 18” Barrel. Great video 💪🏽🙏🏽👍🏽
gotta give you some props your pretty fast and talented.
This guy is rapidly becoming my favorite go to...
With a finger like that, his girlfriend must love him
Jesse you are a pig...
yeah you pig its the tongue what matters
rafael CB lole nice
With guns as pricey as those....I’d be surprised if he had one
He's actually been married for 10 years with 6 kids and a pair of twins on the way
I dont understand why you dont have millions and millions of subscribers, you are awesome dude, keep it up
Great KNOWLEDGEABLE video. Thanks!!
"Practicool, not Tacticool." Well-earned Sub.
you ever ask yourself "when should i stop bending this hat bill?"
Derek Shannon Lmao this just made my day thanks
Doesn’t he know kids in his age group prefer keeping it flat?
When the corners touch
NF Fan only people that keep there hat bill flat is rappers and people that wear 59 50 hats
You ain’t from the south, are you?
Love this stuff from trex. I've learned a bunch from you vids... ALL OF THEM.
Hey Lucas, huge fan of the channel and of that sweet 13.7. I was hoping you could do a video where you discuss SBR, pistol, and something like the 13.7 or even 14,16” rifles and your opinions on each of them respectively from a defensive perspective. I would love to hear your insight before I build. Thanks and keep up the great work!
