The salient arms gry rifle is another one of those rifles that get a lot of hate because of its price.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't understand where the hate was coming from.
This is an obnoxiously expensive rifle if you're just looking for a rifle that simply does everything a rifle is supposed to do.
The GRY rifle doesn't "Do" anything so ground breaking that it makes sense to buy it for its functional abilities.
That said, if you're looking for a rifle that feels special in more ways than one the salient fry rifle will give that to you, at least it did for me.
The little things matter once the big things are covered, unfortunately, the little things can rifle very expensive.
It's not for everyone but I know a lot of people love this rifle.

No. You can get a quality AR for a thousand or less. Any extra money should go towards optic, light, sling, mags, ammo and training.
@Colion Noir - that’s gona be a no from me dogg. Like Brain ^ said.
"Just as good" 🤡
Could get a BCM with a decent optic and mount for that
@@SuperXrayDoc 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Show me a quality AR that’s sub MOA for that much.
Let's be straight forward, I don't care if you want a 300 dollar PSA build or a 3000 custom. Get a rifle, get training, and get out there meet with like minded people. They win when we all gucci shame each other into not shooting at all.
Couldn't have said it better
i have a psa.... great rifles great prices....lifetime warranty .....cant knock em...its more than a 300$ rifle tho lol
@@jarodschoeffel4130
Mine is a $300 POS, but I can hit out to 125 yards. Just do it!
@@dragonhealer7588 absolutely I have two. One carbine length and one mid length.. I built myself both psa uppers. Hi 5 brother!!
You said it the best. I wish I could build me a PSA but they wont sell to Illinois.
I would never buy this. I can still appreciate how it looks. Just like I would never buy a mclaren. I would however buy a new 1 ton truck. Its the same for me. Gun and vehicles are just tools for me.
Also am I the only one who noticed how careful Colin was not to scratch it on the rocks.
"You break You Buy!!"
It’s sad you can appreciate the extensive difference between a 1500 & a Supercar.
I don’t understand people who don’t understand craftsmanship or specified innovation.
@@JordanReedYT I can appreciate it just wouldn't buy it, that was the point. An a 1 ton would be a 3500.
@@JordanReedYT innovation would be moving onto coil guns or something like also trust me some of us can appreciate fine things but most of us can't afford it plus a sport 2 will kill you just as good
Cope
In all honesty, it looks really nice, but the lack of parts and availability on their site if something was to happen, covered under warranty or not, says enough to me.
100% not worth $3500, but still a beautiful rifle that I'd love to own. Always been a fan of SAI glocks so a GRY with the ti nitride bolt carrier to match the barrel on the BLU would be an awesome carry combo!
I pay max $1800 for it. I could build my own for $1800-2000 and it would put that one shame
@@jasong782 put it to shame huh
@@alexc6582 yup just like when I put you to shame when I'm with your girlfriend
@@jasong782 woah woah there cowboy that's a lil personal
@@alexc6582 nice comeback. No wonder why your family hates you and your gf is never satisfied.
I had this rifle. Bought right from salient in 2019. Shot literally like a aero with a birdcage. My bcm/dd were better. Knights mod2 shat on it.
This is true
Had the exact same experience, My friend bought a salient and sold it after he shot my KAC and was completely disappointed.... My KAC was vastly out performed the salient. Salients customer service was none existent when he was having issues. Stay away for sure there are way better products out there.
@@Phantom8589 it’s actually the gas port on these salient barrels. The brass ejects at 1-2 and the bolt slams the back of the stock. It’s an intermediate gas system that’s way over gassed which is weird. I know this because my Criterion mid length with a sprinco red/white spring is vastly smoother and enjoyable than the salient I shot next to it.
Lol of course it's KAC Mod2 bro. Literally gold standard. Love it but dammit man....maddddd unobtainable
@@ravenks1sr15 Yeah they are amazing.
If it was a 308/7.62 I could see having a compensator like that, but a 5.56 you really don't need it.
Congrats you have been selected among our shortlisted winners, contact the u above.......✅👍
Hard pass. Especially after watching Chad over at SOTAR gauge a few of their BCG’s. The build quality on one of the most important parts is lacking. For that price KAC, RADIAN, NOVESKE.
Knights armament is a solid company. Though at the end of the day, I don't care much from where my ar comes from as long as it works well, and isn't some Chinese knock-off.
You want a Rifle that isn’t worth the asking price (it kinda is when you really break down what you get) is the HK G28Z, when I priced one out to order it was $16,000
Even KA rifles are overpriced. They are great AR's, but for $3,000+ they don't do anything impressive enough to justify that price. I'd rather get a BCM, DD, or an LWRC and save a grand or more.
Or get 1 bcm and ammo
@@zombieslayer7759 I got a DD MK18 and a SIG 716 DMR… both are awesome the Sig is a tack driver for sure. I have an Aero Precision Lower and upper, just need a Barrel, but Trudumb banned them. We need a new Government soooo bad. I wish I could move to Arizona where my Uncle has a place.
ColioNoir: "Is this $3500 Rifle Worth it?
Me: "Is THAT $3500 Worth it?
Because money.
Me that price that price I would have gotten the WILSON COMBAT AR
I’ll probably never spend 4K on an AR until I’m retired and my kids are out of college, but I like this setup. To put that in perspective, I don’t have kids 😂
You can explain it all you want, this rifle costs $3500 because Salient knows people will buy it. It’s a flex piece to impress your buddies at the range, kind of like vanity muscles you get at the gym. At the end of the day, it’s an AR15, and probably not any better than a Geissele or a JP with a higher price tag, and it looks like shit
I would have gotten the WILSON COMBAT AR
Vanity muscles are some of the hardest earned muscles unfortunately. Takes a lot of work to be a body builder. Less so for buying a gucci boomstick.
So cool to see this video. The Sai Gry was always a top pick for me along with the HKMR556 and FNScar. Ended up going with the scar and customizing it in every way possible to bring personalization to it but, I really want one of these to this day. I could literally leave it the way it is out of the box and be content. I’m glad you enjoy your rifle Colion 🙏🏼😌. That’s all that matters at the end of the day.
Nice one Colion. Keep up the great reviews. Thanks
Like many high end things like cars, bespoke shoes and so forth, I can appreciate it for what it is - especially for the little details like you mentioned. The milling and the rail are pretty sick and like the color; part of me wishes ARs come in grey finishes.
I can agree on that. Even though I don’t agree with the price it’s because I’m looking at this product from a technical aspect and not a Artisan approach. Maybe if the made them like 1/1000 in specific color it would bring more potential clients
my LWRC is sniper grey
I wish he hadn’t teased us about how easy it is to detach the hand guard/rail, and the square barrel, but not actually show us those features!
I would have gotten the Wilson combat AR
i gotta thank you for really opening my eyes to the staccato. another spendy gun. i just bought mine couple days ago and thank you! your videos sold me on it!
Colion Noir! Thank you for all you do!!!!!
Guys, I’m new to ARs and am getting analysis paralysis deciding which (AR Pistol) to get. Anyone have recommendations?
I’m looking for “bang for your buck” factor, under or at $1K range.
You have lots of options. Are you looking to build one (assemble an upper and lower receiver) or buy a complete rifle?
@@thelibertyoperation8380 either option would work for me, I wouldn’t mind putting one together. Really just looking for good quality:price ratio
@@landenx Aero Precision if you are looking for the best bang for your buck, BCM (Bravo Company Manufacturing) for something a little higher end but still overall affordable. The more you explore, the more options you will find (the list of those producing AR’s and parts is quite extensive)
@@thelibertyoperation8380 thank you for the recommendations!
IWI Zion pistol. 12.5 inch barrel, mid-length gas system, and fit and finish is great. Around $800. Best sub 1k IMHO.
Love that when SOTAR actually tested a Salient BCG it did very poorly. Way worse than competitors that cost a fraction of the price
My Friend bought one and he had the same experience it jammed a lot and had a ton of cycling issues. Salient has non customer service at all.... it was a $3500 + taxes waste of money.
That is a BEAUTIFUL Weapon. I’m jealous. Great Video Colion.
Great video, I didn't know about this manufacture. Looks to be another great rifle which we need.
Awesome looking rifle, if my budget allowed I would jump on one if it could be found. Keep up the good work.
Congrats you have been selected among our shortlisted winners, contact the u above.......✅👍
I would go with the Wilson combat AR
Colion always drops fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love this video. Keep up the great work.
Great video Colion! You nailed it again
I guess its the little things. Definitely got me thinking about what features I like!
Me with a $700 MP15 base model: HELL YEAH BROTHER
The same model served Kyle Rittenhouse very very well.
It also jammed on him when he needed it most
@@Jesus-gn1qm Thus the forward assist.
Sweet Rifle, the color caught my eye for sure.
Love the passion brother.
I’m with you on the compensator for the AR platform. It’s just unnecessary weight for something that the buffer does a great job of. That said the Salient is a cool looking weapon.
If you were to ever find yourself in some sort of fight. I find it best to keep your Barrel up almost all the time. That's why you don't want a lot of weight up front. You'll get tired. Also I think you should get more custom with shooting with a sling. People get all tangled up in them. I've changed my sling configuration to find out work works best. Just my opinion.
Good tips
COLION! Been following the channel and love your content. Great review bro.
I love when you share your pick of the litter.
To this day, a War Sport LVOA-C is at the absolute TOP of my dream AR-15 list! Thanks, Tom Clancy’s The Division/Wildlands haha!
I completely agree!
I always got a gold lvl 40 at the ready lol!
I know EXACTLY what that is… The orange paracord lacing sets it off nicely 🙂
Bro you got great taste, the LVOA WARSPORT is sexy as fuck. Bazooka green! Bucket list rifle.
@@stevenvantyle7531 if I ever got the chance to buy one, I don’t think I’d be picky about which color it was ha. But yeah that green is awesome.
Had a Gray and a Green. Sold them both because they were pointless - I believe that every AR should be suppressible, and the LVOAs were not (Gen 1). The Gen 2s may have been, but then you defeated the whole point of the thing. It's one of those "never meet your heroes" thing. The gun was also hot garbage. . . . that company was run like a junior high school project, as evidenced by the years it took to liquidate some of the stuff they made or had made after they went out of business.
Beautiful tool.
Great vid ... love Salient Arms, they make a fantastic Armalite Rifle Style.
Thank you for what you do
The one I saw come in for a customer direct from Salient was in a cardboard box with no magazine. It also came dinged. So I’d say no.
ALOT of them came with dings. No idea as to why but they did.
Hello from another Houston native! Would love to see you review some cowboy lever guns!
Good recommendation. That’s how I choose as well; if I have to look at it might as well be the best.
Everyone has that special weapon thanks colion for a great video
Excuse me, while I clean your passion and excitement off of my screen... 😂🤣😂 in all seriousness, keep up the good work, Colion!
When guns cost more than my first car ($2890) I can do without them...at $3500 it better com with a lifetime supply of ammo!. Yeah I'm 70yrs old and have more than fud guns. I do enjoy your channel.
It's crazy, I haven't cleaned my AR in about two years as well,but still hits target every single time!
Damn I'm digging this cinematography and effects
It being that much money and it not being ambi kinda kills it for me, the warcomp is a negative to me as well because it negatively impacts the performance of the suppressor too.
At $3.5K it’s way outta my $$$ range .. my income ain’t THAT disposable .. but that’s a nice rifle
Much love brotha!
Looks awesome 🤘🏼
Man reading some of these comments it’s like the tactical Walmart section of the internet 😂🤣
Plenty that cost much less and do a phenomenal job, lookin dope at the same time. God bless and stay safe!
10-4. Just trying to avoid China junk.
And may God bless you too!
Colin is the realest guntuber out there. We all look at our guns more than we shoot them especially when we 1st get them 😂
Love it brother, there are those just unique to what you want compared to what ur looking for
I love Gucci rifles. Occasionally run into those that get upset, but it's more jealousy than anything else. Will keep stating how their $500 or less PSA build is more than enough. Always tell them to enjoy. Regardless of your rifles cost, get out there and enjoy it! It's more important to enjoy your firearms than to worry about someone else having something better. But I do enjoy having better ;)
5:44 Its actually amazing how much difference you can visually see the SAI jailbreak made to the gun, IDK if its Just the weight, or if it is actually working as intended. If you slow motion the few shots he took with it on and the side by side with it off, you can see the muzzle flash and the climb is a lot more pronounced.
All in all they look cool, and I love using this setup in Escape From Tarkov, but on a real gun, I think id rather just have the slightly longer barrel and a suppressor.
Nice piece. To each his own.
Nathan, dont respond to this asshole telling you, you've won something. He's a scammer and a pos and he is going to be charged with numerous felonys everytime he trues this tactic.
Yeah I love the color.... great video. Had never heard of that rifle before.
I have a hard time justifying that much for a rifle. Idc if it comes with a handy … but it is beautiful!
I’ve always thought they look cool but I feel you don’t get enough for the price. It should definitely should have an Ambi lower. Honestly for the price and money I feel ADM is king right now if your going to buy a complete rifle.
THING LOOKS SICK!!
Cool gun, cool review.
Hey C, get your hands on any LaRue Tactical (Leander, TX) gas gun in 5.56, 6.5G, 7.62, 6.5C or .260 - you just might be amazed... Or buy a complete upper and a stripped lower, build it yourself and be even more amazed.
The DDM4 V7p with an aimpoint micro t2 red dot on it is the most I’ve spent on an AR.
Even fully kitted budget rifles explode in cost. Especially when you take into account ammo and magazines. I have 40 loaded windowed magpull magazines with caps in cases and that just by itself is almost 1800 dollars and I have a case of loose ammo. My rifle is a Palmetto build with a FN Palmetto partnered upper that I bought with an all Palmetto lower with all Danial Defense furniture. I have the Sig optic and magnifier combo and a forged aluminum grip stop and extended charging handle. I still need a trigger and I am in for at least 1500 dollars on the rifle. Add a hundred dollar AR tool kit and punch block and your at your starting point...lol Your basically at 3k for your rig not including external accessories.. It must be really nice and light though. Hey really quick check out the CMMG conversion kit for 22LR. I run it on my rifle and its like having two guns on one platform. Make sure if your interested to buy the anti jam charging handle. Since I got it all together it runs almost flawlessly.
😎 I appreciate your salesmanship.
Ive been looking for one of these for so long.
I have had this rifle since 2016. Super cool to look at. Does it shoot better than my other AR15? nope. The jail break is cool. Mine has the lower being made in Oxnard California not Las Vegas. Salient will not be making any more of these from what I heard and the source I heard it from is very reliable.
What do you think of radians model 1 rifle?
This is fine if you have a safe full of guns for funsies. If you’re an average Joe like me $3500 will go a long way towards the myriad of other things I need for the impending apocalypse
Congrats you have been selected among our shortlisted winners, contact the u above......✅👍
Yea 1500 jackery generator and a psa or m&p15 build plus enough to buy some rounds
Unless you live in a gun free state or country with an extreme aversion to firearms, you're shit out of luck.
From one regular guy to another, I totally agree with you here. That money can definitely go a long way. I have to admit though, this is one very awesome gun
Nods and peq15
looks cool!
Colion putting on some size! Looking jacked
from the product page this weapon is more geared to be a range toy than anything, kinda like an mp5
I'm curious about the Uintah Precision bolt-action uppers personally. Especially because they offer them for both the AR-15 and AR-10 platform lowers in a multitude of calibers. There don't seem to be many videos of the bolt-action uppers.
West desert shooter does a good video
Let’s face it, Colion is just a super cool dude! Great vid as always Sir!
I love the frequency of your output! And it’s hella quality. There’s a few guntubers out there who don’t post vids as often and it’s still hit or miss.
The content is a great balance of informative and entertaining. Keep doing what you’re doing Colion. Your channel will keep growing as the 2A community grows as well. Bless up!
You’re not an idiot, you just got some 💰 to spent. I appreciate high end AR, but for that price. I would buy an HK MR556 instead.
You have a collection?! Congratulations!! Way to go! I get asked all the time ido you need more than one? My answer, because I can...
That gun is SICK!!!
The Virtus fits my needs. I wont deny this inst a very effective and efficient.
Does it come with a hired 24/7 security team to use it? If not HELL NO! 😂

@@cculp11235 Sucks to be poor.
Its not a matter of if they can take our guns its a matter of when
Boooy, that's some heat🔥🔥
You do great job in ur videos
I would agree with you. Sure their nice but it’s still just an AR-15. And you can spen a $1000 on a nice AR -15 and another $1000 in optics and TACTICOOL items to make a great working rifle. That being said my Reece rifle is a LWRC piston driven rifle. It was 2400 and once set up the way I like it with optic and other is it 3200 when it’s done mags sling optics and all. Also watch the slow motion and you will see the break is more effective and efficient without that rail extension on it. But I have PSA rifles completely built optics and all for 1200 to 1500 that run as well as much more expensive setups.
It’s in the price range of a FN SCAR. I’m a FN fanboy lol so I’d definitely pick the FN SCAR 17s over this rifle everyday of the week.
It is a great feeling holding a special weapon
One of the best if not the best looking ARs ive seen
When he took that 'jail break' or whatever off, the gun just looks and sounds the same as my Del Ton Echo 316. I picked that up for $639 including shipping. (Yes, Beto. I bought it ONLINE). The ammo is the same and it handles just like it. At the range, I felt equally as comfortable firing my single shot Heritage Rough Rider as I did the Del Ton. All these inflated prices on guns due to demand? It makes me question whether or not these so-called "Gun grabbing politicians" secretly have no intention of doing that, but bought a ton of stock in gun and ammo manufacturers before starting all this up - just to see how their stock increase from all the panic buying. (Like the toilet paper lunacy of 2019)
Ain't no denying its a nice rifle.. me, if had that amount to spend, I'd have a piston driven 5.56 and a .300blk upper to swap. Of course with at least a muffler for the .300, and optics & lights, and still not be resorting to super inexpensive. Different strokes for different folks tho :)
CZ Bren cones to mind. 💪💪🔥🔥
Wow. Nice video. Coolest gun ever. I’ve been waiting for 3 years to find one for sale.
Great video.
It's nice but I'm at the point with my collection I don't need more $2k+ rifles. I'd rather put together a weapon piece by piece to build exactly what I want. It may come up to or over $2k but if you modify anything on a $3500 gun you're wasting money and just end up with more spare parts in a box. Spend that extra $1500 on more ammo or a better optic.

Absolutely worth it. Lrp kit fucks hard. I wanna get another to put a 12 inch barrel on for S&G purposes.
I built my 16 inch and can honestly say I have had Daniel's and BCA's and a lot in between but taking the time building it with purpose and analyzing everything like gas port size buffer spring muzzle device I wouldn't trade my 16 in for a new Knights Armament,LMT or even a Geissele and it runs like a sewing machine and recoils light and doesn't blow out your ears shooting without ear pro totally love it great video and a beautiful rifle
Stunning gun!

I’ve been watching a lot of 2nd Amendment, shooting Conceal Carry, home defense & defensive shooting practice videos lately. I have to thank you very much for educating in the political and legal aspect of this brand new part of my life sir. I have defended the 2nd Amendment all of my life, growing up shooting and hunting as a child and young man, but as an adult life in the big city & new family took me in a different direction. As a retired man and my father leaving me his entire collection-60 years of gunsmithing, nobody has the right to take those guns away from me, and I’m looking forward to using them for which they are intended.
I truly appreciate your sharing your knowledge.
It's worth it if you are a rich lawyer like Colion LOL
Completely understand Colion, completely understand. Darlington, South Carolina
Nice rifle!
Colion I just wanna thank you for always introducing high end value rifles and firearms period. Trust me as person who enjoy firearms it gets very frustrating seeing so many bloggers using Palmetto state armory rifles and trying to glorify them as gold. Don’t get me wrong something is better than nothing. But don’t piss in my cup and try to convince that its beer. So again I appreciate you when you bring these type of guns to the lime light. Everyone is different and I respect that, but I am a guy who would drop 4K on one awesome riffle versus having six riffles of bullshit that you have to immediately operate on them/ change things on them out the box to get them to a certain quality. If you add all the upgrades people spend/ do its the same price as just buying a quality riffle from the start. 😎just keeping it💯
Are your keyboard keys sticking? Or do you have a penchant for repeating letters, like in your name? Because for someone who’s willing to drop 4K, and knows the difference between beer and piss, you haven’t learned to spell RIFLE correctly.
$3500 for a rifle is insanity at it's finest,but to be honest this is coming from a guy who thinks anything more than $1200 is pushing it.
You haven't cleaned it in 2 years?!! Wow, I'm impressed.
Gym is paying off man. Keep at it.
