bro my jaw dropped when i saw the title and the thumbnail lmao im so used to only seeing you make vids about handguns. looking forward to the rifle build for sure!!
😂 rifles are a touchy subject amongst the guntube community so wanted to wait until I had the right video to introduce it to the channel lol I’m by no means an expert so I hope to learn a thing or two! 🙏🏽
It’s giving me MK18 vibes…. Nothing wrong with the pinned and welded option….. that’s why I chose the JAKL…. The bronze look is super official….. heading over to part 2
I had intended for my first rifle/build to be all stripped and build it myself, but AP had such a damn good deal on a thunder ranch upper I couldn't resist. No BCG or CH, but it had the M-Lok handguard I wanted, the barrel, irons(flip up), flash hider were all what I was looking at anyway so I snagged it and slapped it on the stripped lower I had already built up. Love it. So much fun. I definitely want an ambi-safety selector for it though. For me, much easier to flip to safe with my trigger finger than my thumb. That's why we shoot, though, so we know what works and what doesn't.
@@dariuskincaid The one part that I think maybe MOST significant difference in my experience with rifles, is a 1.93 riser. You can get one from Reptilia Corps for a great price. Scalarworks makes an incredible one as well for a higher cost, although it does have additional features.
I bought a few of those same uppers. Been wanting the DD heavy profile SOCOM barrel and could never buy it from DD. Glad Brownell’s offered it in the way it’s given to the military without all the civilian markings. Just telling my set up. I put a surefire closed tine warcomp muzzle device. A Trijicon 1-8 VCOG like issued to the marines. Troy flip up iron sights. (My add ons are FDE). Lower is just PSA with Geissele SSA-E trigger. Surefire Turbo light(fde), Fab Defense rubber coated grip with FD GL MAG stock with 10 rd mag built in the buttstock. Stock will hold any AR mag in it. (All in fde). Radian charging handle. Just telling my setup as I’m not making it clone correct as I want it to fit my needs like you. Can’t wait to see how you build yours out. I’ll enjoy your setup as that has always been on my have to get upper list. And since the handguard alone retails for $500 it thought these uppers are great deals as Block II uppers! I enjoyed your video. Also forgot to mention I bought some surplus KAC rail panels to go on my handguard off of eBay. They are the ultimate hand protection against heat. You probably already know about them. Enjoyed the video and also subscribed.
I wanna build an M16A4, i shot the A2, M4/1 but for some reason I always loved the feel and look of the A4, I can't afford the real thing so might have to go the above poors level and at least get a decent barrel and BCG.
palmetto state armory Usually has sales year round on Surefire lights got a scout turbo mini for $280 and the regular sized scout turbo was $250 shipped.. and DD just dropped their lowers see them floating around $600 and some Lmt lowers around $800 and can’t beat 3 prong and Rc2/Rc3. And the time of year geissele is gonna be having a bunch of sales hard not to mention their triggers and overall product line.
Thanks for reminding me about PSAs sales! I need a couple surefire lights and was gonna go Amazon but PSA it is lol Also don’t remind me about DD dropping their prices it makes me get the itch! 😂👀💸
Im going to be building my first rifle hopefully soon, glad this video randomly popped up for me, got a new subscriber and cant wait for the next videos.
I just built my 13.9” “middle-high”- end AR, and man I have 3 lowers I’m itching to build now, I want to build a 18”, a 10.3” both of those in 5.56 and a shorty 9mm ar
For your 14.5 I’d suggest throwing a Lpvo 1-6. I went with a Eotech and magnifier for mine but now after getting into Lpvo’s it’s a better option for the 14.5’s lol
Not yet lol it’s gonna be a series. I’m putting it all together with you guys. One video a week. Rather do that then take a 4-6 weeks to get all the parts and put it together and do 1 reveal video. So as I get the parts in I’ll do a video explaining why I went with what I went with.
Sweet!!! Base line recommendations from an internet nobody (former industry)...consider 2 lowers...consider SBR the one of the pair as a trust for immediate responsible family...and have a brace laying around if multi-state out of state travel really matters to you constantly. I've done multiple 5320.20's without issue and there are some tips on that as well, but generally rifles are not a part of my travel plan like handguns and I state laws can attack pistols and SBR's (not my home state). Same for the suppressors, maybe consider not falling for the trick of quick wait times as an individual - if you have responsible immediate family that this setup might need to be deemed sacrificial for defensive use. Triggers - if serious use carbine and planning to run suppressed I would avoid any cassette style triggers...it should be an individual hammer, trigger body, and disconnector with mil-spec hammer spring. So mil-spec, mil-spec enhanced, or Geissele, Larue, or Schmid variation. Enjoy it and I'll keep tabs on this. -Jay
Man I really appreciate this!! My biggest concern was the paperwork and this clarified some things for me thank you! Will definitely ask questions if I run into issues lol 🙏🏽
@@dariuskincaid def man and happy to. Paperwork really becomes a formality with eForms. That said if you're possibly looking for an ecosystem - there is a tax at first for convenience, but SilencerShop (which I have a lot of good experience with) makes it easy to acquire things if you have a competent NFA and kiosk. Capital Armory is mail prints to start, but might also serve the bill...both covering Form 1 and Form 4...but specifcally Trusts...if you're going to invest this far...I really recommend thinking about it and doing it in a way that is not just about you - because for the time being this is what we operate under (NFA). Every can I have is a single shot trust and half my SBR's are Form 1 single shot trusts.
Great video. I’m currently working on my build. I picked every little piece you can imagine. Only thing left is the barrel. This is my first build ar15
Stripped aero precision upper and lower M4E1 with 14.5 JP enterprise barrel and BCG. I was going for a light weight fast rifle. Not so much for SHTF. More for just fun range shooting
I am right here with this. I bought the MK18 upper, with Radian lower, LaRue trigger, Surefire Muzzle Device, Bootleg BCG, Radian Suppressor Optimized Charging Handle, Geissele buffer tube, with SBTactical 5 brace, Magul 3 sights with Holosun 510C with magnifier. Fun times to build.
I just found your channel. Looking forward to see how this build turns out. I got a killer deal on a complete FDE RIS III. I put it on a LMT Mars lower (it looks like a Daniel defense ambi lower)with their buffer system. Geiselle 3 Gun Trigger, Radian Safety and I had DD stock in a parts box. Runs flawlessly and so easy to shoot.
@@dariuskincaid So far I really like it. The bolt release/lock back on the right side is pretty intuitive. I have many BAD Lever like setups on other lowers, this is a cleaner system. The LMT buffer, tube and spring run perfectly with the DD upper, a nice 3:30-4:00 ejection pattern.
I subscribe just off off this first video because I don't see a lot of people doing that. I'm excited to see how you do this. Semper Fi bro I did a similar type thing with the riz 2 rail but made mine into a piston driven 300 blackout pistol
@@dariuskincaid It's great put it together back when I had a bunch of extra money used a radian lower and Adam's arms piston kit it's great just got to take it out and confirm zero at range
To be completely honest aesthetics lol I specifically wanted to go DD upper and to go mid length I would of had to go Ris 3 and I’m just not a fan of the mlok look and I’m kind of a quadrail fanboy 😩😭
Didnt have the cajones to build my own rife. But i just bought my first rifle and picked it up from my ffl last week. Springfield Saint Victor 16", do it all first rifle
@@dariuskincaidis a build ever really finished 😂 but yes. MK18 stripped upper from Brownell’s.

Nice!!! I think I’m gonna go surefire 3 prong too.. probably also grabbing a radian charging handle too. Man your build is sick! And builds are never done! 😂
Just wondering I don't really know much about Rifles. With a pin and welded upper, can you change out your barrels and just use a different barrel later on? A great person to watch for your builds is a guy called "UNCLE FREEDOM". Like I said I don't know much, so I listen, but he tells you everything you need to know. I just can't understand as deep as someone who dosent really know everything about Rifles.
Hm this sparked my curiosity (I’m watching back through Darius’ catalog) wonder what he’s doing with his 10.3 upper truly. P&W suppressor? …🤔kind of a waste🤷♂️ Or just go pistol brace, use it for both uppers and call it a day
So youre gonna have a pinned upper, a 10.5 upper, and 1 lower to swap them? Id consider just getting pistol lower for that 10.5 before the alphabet boys jump down on you
Man I’m torn on this cause 1) fuck them boys! 😂 but 2) I may just get a stamp instead of having two lowers. I honestly don’t know yet and I am not pretending to know the right answer I have no idea lol
@@dariuskincaid I feel you, I got a 10.5 front post psa upper, psa classic pistol lower, forged sabre lower with B5 furniture, and now ima sbr that for my 11.5 areo I got coming in. They'll both be silenced and Super Safe

Throw a warcomp on it, a 1-6 Trijicon credo SFP red BDC with a badger mount and your choice of offset or top dot. Avoid using 1.93 scope mounts.
Can’t wait too watch this build unfold. I just got my first acog not long ago now about to start building the rifle for it too go on.

Why bother P/W if you're just going to run the same lower with your MK18 upper?

If you wanna swap with a mk18 upper just SBR it…
