3 modern tactical shooting videos in a single month? July is already the best month this year! This video also released right on my birthday, so this is a great treat!
I just found your channel and I really appreciate the information being shared as well as the laid back way of communicating it. There's so much forced "humor" and antics in gun videos these days and as a younger guy I really value this style of presentation. Thanks for the knowledge.
Fantastic enjoyed this one Jeff. It's been 20+ years since I was in green, 12 years British Army, enjoyed every minute. I agree the SA80 was 11 pounds, sight and loaded at 30 inch long it took its toll on the younger lads. Respect to all you guys.
Have the SB2 for the lower backpressure and works very well on a DD Block II. It's still a little over-gassed but I don't really get much back in my face even when shooting indoors. DD Block II FSP with 3 prong, TA31 Acog, PLHv2 w/ modbutton and SF DS00 tailcap. Gotta love Block II
I appreciate you sharing the thought process on the redundancy of using the 1x on an LPVO when using an offset dot for 100m and in. I always thought, “why not use a 2-10x when you already have an offset dot?” And your explanation is something so simple I overlooked it. Great video!
Fellow left handed ar user here. My preference for bolt release is the magpul bad lever. After inserting mag, the right hand can palm strike to the end of the bad lever, allowing you to mimic the standard manual of arms. The nice side bonus is that it makes it easier for the left hand to lock the bolt to rear as well.
Great info Jeff, always good to get more of your perspective. Looking forward to you making a video on the history of the m9 in SF whenever you get the time!
He dude thanks, for your service, and being an awesome Dad! I look up to that a lot as a Bravo. I had transition issues as civi, and Dad, and I learn so much from your genuine content to be better. Not just on firearms, but seeing your history as family man! Much love my man. Not all heroes wear capes brother.
Fellow southpaw here. I have an old smith and Wesson m&p sport ii which I have applied the stukas touch to (albeit not exactly due to parts availability or budget). I got to run this carbine yesterday and wow! It’s almost like the big green machine knows a thing or two about rifles!
i got into the fancy stuff. i own LmT, radian, daniel defense, bcm, adm. pretty much all of it. with all the gucci stuff i got rid of some uppers and decided to build a block 1….the block 1s and 2s just work and they always will. overtime ive learned that simple is always better.
I saw a guy recently review the VCOG talking about how its not a good optic because its heavier than most LPVOs and other little nit picks like that. Its funny seeing a lot of channels who dont have military or LEO experience make reviews on optics like these and say they are bad. At the end of the review he commented "well one good thing about these is that they are the toughest LPVO that you can get but I dont think that makes the difference". Your setup is a lot like mine on my combat rotation and it never failed unlike my ELCAN. TBH i have no idea why the Army as a whole hasn't adopted it.
The cloning community is..... Weird lol. They will fuck you in the ass if you don't have the right markings, hell they'll rip you a new asshole if the pins don't look right
I just got a M-lok upper for my XCR-L set up. I own 2 quad rail uppers. I have to admit I prefer the quad rails. However, I'm not hiking ridge to ridge w/60lbs+ of gear and equipment on my back either. Great vid...
Just recently discovered your videos through a comment you made on reddit awhile back, great stuff. 21:14 answered my question before I could ask it, I was curious if your accounts were named after the divebomber. Great choice, one of the coolest planes of WW2.
@@ModernTacticalShooting Me too, there were so many technological advancements during that war, it's insane. They have a really cool museum at Fort Lewis (or at least they used to) that has some WW2 stuff. Not much aviation related exhibits though.
An interesting video would be the viability or lack thereof, of using a suppressor when primarily not doing cqb, and your thoughts on a piggyback top mounted dot vs using the offset.
Loved the video. Would you consider doing a video about your hearing protection while deployed versus the modern consumer ear pro like the walkers that you featured?
A. I feel like there should be an MLOK bomb rack for a Stuka rifle, and B. I enjoyed the explanation of careful mag changes versus quick ones. That stuff is important.
I inadvertently made this rifle recently lol little changes I prefer a vertical grip and my optic is from PA and the mount is Bobro Eng. lower is radian so I don’t have a magwell. The other lower it used to have had an HRF Concepts one. Also I don’t have the offset dot. The protective wings is a nice touch
We used Dual Optics back in 2006. My unit got issued ACOG's with J-Point red dots(IIRC, we were the first in the Army to get this Unit Wide). The ACOG's were non-fiber optic and they used the Crosshair reticle instead of the Chevron. This was the predecessor to the ACOG+RMR setup the USMC would later go on to adopt. The Concept was great at the time, Sadly though, the J-Point was all that was available at the time and is a seriously garbage sight. No adjustments, had to remove to replace the battery, was Always On, battery life of about 2 days. In the end we all just adapted to using the ACOG only, even for close quarters. Takes practice, but it eventually just becomes natural. We left the J-Points on but that was because we weren't allowed to remove them. "Made us look cool" apparently, lol.
Have you kept up with MRDSs and if so, what would you use in place of the J Point? I lived through all of this as well from irons to Aimpoints, ACOG NSN, Eotechs, to LPVOs.
@@LRRPFco52 TBH, I've only kept up a little. It sounds like pretty much all of them will eventually have issues when place on a pistol. The vast majority sound like they do fine on a rifle. I, personally, have a bias against Vortex Red Dots as I've consistently had them fail for me on both rifles and pistols(So far, I've had good luck with the Strike Eagle I've been playing with for the past couple years now, but it is a sample size of One). But, that's me. Aimpoint makes good stuff, I just don't like the idea of having to send it to Sweden if/when it fails(even puppies get born dead sometimes). Trijicon seems to be consistently improving their stuff from lessons learned. Personally, My main thing with modern MRDS's is access to the battery and known reliability. Almost none come without adjustability anymore. An enclosed emitter is a plus and it looks like the market is slowly swaying that way too. I've been playing a little with the Holosun 507, but I got that on a whim to try out and on sale. So, I'd say: Ease of battery access. Ease of warranty repairability. Reliability. Sight Adjustment. Enclosed emitter. NOTE: this may change the more I play with MRDS's. I will say this, it is like a Cheat Code for shooting pistols. The reason the J-Point was used all those years ago is because the RMR didn't exist. The USMC RCO setup they would later adopt was a massive improvement all the way around on what we tested. Our setup was a Army Experiment. See what happens when you give EVERYONE an ACOG and a MRDS. Concept was pulled from competition shooting at the time, IIRC.
@@jik294 Great points. I'm the same way about battery access on MRDSs. Love the durability of the RMR, but having to remove it to replace the power source is no Bueno, though I understand the engineering trade-off for compactness. Mainly because I live in the Mountain West region now, I've only been using a lot of MPVOs and LPVOs on ARs, plus I rarely shoot 5.56 anymore after getting into 6.5 Grendel. 12" Grendel is awesome compared even with 20-24" .224" bores. Effects on-target are night/day, but still an easy sight picture to self-spot.
Acog with Dr or point the orgianl dual optic saw my 1st one in late 2005. MRDS garbage seen too many break with teams guys.The one I used, lens coating came off was permanently blurry, and switched back to DR sight
Do you think you can make a video about the SIG Rattler in the future? It seems like the pipeline towards the evolution of the UMP-45 and MP5, in it's use case.
Thank for the video and breakdown Jeff! One thing that wasn’t addressed much that I was curious about was the use of the surefire suppressor. Did you feel that the additional length of the suppressor was unwieldy or not worth the added weight penalty? Especially if in use with vehicles or moving on patrols? Another thing I wanted to add was maybe you can do a video on the history of the SPR within SF.
20:03 you just know that the weight issue is going to lead to SIG! (the American imitation version of Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft 😉) to propose a titanium upper or some other insanity so they can charge the US Government $20,000 per rifle rather than just ~$4,000 for the base 6.8mm gun.
I have a sincere question: when I was in they taught us mag retention, in case of the lack of timely resupply, but it seems no one bothers with it anymore. New thinking in training?
@20:12 and that's not even taking into account the weight of the ammo itself in the magazine- let alone in the spare magazines dispered across the plate carrier.
When I see any video by Mr. Gurwitch I give it a "Like" regardless if I actually watch it then and there or not. Automatic "Likes" for a high speed low drag large caliber professional like Mr. Gurwitch.
honestly wonder if the ris3 wouldve done just as well or better in combat. seems like the durability is there. nice weight savings, mid length gas. im going to get a ris3 soon and stick a fixed frontsight on it with a flip up rear and beat the piss out of it: see what it can do
@@ModernTacticalShootingI been on an A2 clone kick lately, and most optics done mix well with my eye sight wearing coke bottle glasses. Im not going to spend more money on a prism optic i rather have more ammunition since redots and lpvo's are complicated for me.
I need a scope on mine..I like the idea of a light dot but id like to hit what I shoot so may have to get a scope..sux there expensive...my buddy does or used to do on target magazine and have a shop but idno if he does anymore and I miss the shop it was nice to have a buddy close in a shop to get stuff and hang
@@ModernTacticalShooting Interesting. I had one on a 16" a while ago and ended up ditching it because it that ping was so annoying. I wonder if the 14.5 limits the vibration.
@30wrdy there is a huge debate on KNS pins. First after video I've been told kns pins are bad for Geissele trigger so I will remove them. But in my experience kns pins can extend life of lower. I had a lower where steel hammer pin worn open hole in receiver leading to hammer slipping and rifle doubling. Putting in kns pins fixes it. So for me preventive item to increase lower reciver life. I've got lowers with 30,000 plus round thru they work great. Are there lots of lowers out there super high rounds counts no kns pins still working great I'm sure. But just based on that one lower I had that went bad, for me just piece of mind.

Great stuff, Jeff. It's amazing how this rifle morphed from the M16A1 I carried to what it is today. Thanks for sharing and thanks for your service.

You should get an RC2. I have been approved for two form 4 suppressors recently, both were approved 5 days after certifying.
Have the SB2 for the lower backpressure and works very well on a DD Block II. It's still a little over-gassed but I don't really get much back in my face even when shooting indoors. DD Block II FSP with 3 prong, TA31 Acog, PLHv2 w/ modbutton and SF DS00 tailcap. Gotta love Block II

Why use an LVPO instead of a fixed ala ACOG? Negligible weight difference?
