      Sir huge fan but a slight concern. I think that you should use suppressors while testing ARs as they are extremely loud and might harm your ears. Though it might bring a slight difference in the performance but safety and health come first. Love from India♥️♥️♥️

      You can have as many AR15s as you like in the UK. The only difference is you need to have them re-chambered to .22 if you want to keep them semi-auto.
      All of the single fire rifles are legal.
      Shotguns are pretty much a free-for-all.
      Handguns unfortunately not, but let’s be honest - it’s the rifles that draw the crowd when you show off your collection.
      The only thing stopping me buying more guns is I’ve run out of space in my cabinets……

I've been watching your videos for years and am a big fan! Sadly my grandfather passed away a few years back and I was given part of his massive gun collection. From Colts 1903 pocket to S&W 696 pre dash to Ruger Ac556 and many more.

      @@philipmix5237 I completely agree. I was only speaking to the apparent narrative that was happening in my head. I see 5 rifles, 4 new and modern and 1 old classic. 1 of those is not like the others. In the truck world a lot of workers like the old school more for the lack of features because too many features means too many moving parts and more chances of something failing plus harder to diagnose because of more variables. Isn't that what makes the classic AK-47 so great? Simple, reliable, effective. But I get what you're saying. I'm happy with what he chose. I love Daniel Defense. My dream rifle right there.

    I made a promise to myself I'll never sell ANY of my firsts. First pistol, first revolver, first AR-15, first shotgun, first milsurp rifle, etc.
    I've met plenty of old timers who kick themselves for selling their firsts, and they wish they'd just held onto them.
    Last gun I'd ever be willing to part with is my trusty Astra A-100 in .40S&W. First firearm I ever bought. You'd likely have to kill me to get me to give it up.
    It was only $250, but it is an eternal symbol of the day I truly became a self-determining free individual. Nothing screams liberty more than your first firearm, and if you have any sense in you, your first gun should also be your last gun.
    As for my first AR-15, yeah, I'll become a felon long before I give that rifle up. If they ban them, I don't care, I'm keeping it.

      Actually, I did buy a Sig P250 .45 ACP many years ago through the quartermaster of a local PD, who worked directly with Sig. While unrelated to the department, that's about as close as I believe you can come, depending upon rules policies and ordinances. I also believe that in some states gun dealers are allowed through bidding to buy confiscated firearms from local PD's to augment general funding. They in turn sell them to the public. But seeing as how municipal and county law enforcement agencies are not in the business of selling firearms, I agree; the logic of the statement is indeed flawed.

    @jamal69jackson77 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Mr. Hickok, you picked exactly what I predicted you would pick... in fact, I knew you would end up having to choose between the modern Daniel Defense V7 and the classic A2. They are both reliable, proven, no frills, workhorse rifles. The A2 is only beaten by the Daniel Defense due to its modern improvements in many of its components and the ever flexible rail system. Although you can also improve many of the original A2 components and bring that classic rifle into the modern AR arena, the length would both be beneficial in some instances but detrimental in others, thus the mid length, lighter weight, more maneuverable and already upgraded modern Daniel Defense rifle still ends up making the most sense. So either I'm developing some prediction powers or I've just been watching the channel long enough to understand your way of thinking to a determinable degree. Another nice video sir!
