      Cant call myself an expert but in my experience most well built lower end AR builds run just fine. I have a good AR and a couple cheap ones and all run great. I would never run my guns like Eric but its nice to see that I could if I wanted too. AR's are a great rifle. Wish I could afford more.

      I don’t know how you can call that particular upper “budget” or “lesser quality” or “lower quality” from the specs Eric read off or its melt down performance. I would be interested to see how this upper shot on paper before the meltdown.

    • @michaelsorenson3887
      @michaelsorenson3887 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      From what I've seen from Anderson, they just build so much that they can pass the savings on to you. I feel like they're more interested in putting solid rifles in peoples hands than squeezing every penny possible from sales. I've personally had good experiences with their products. Just my 2 cents

    I absolutely love my Anderson M4!!! Built it piece by piece over 3 years. Yeah I know it took a long time but when you’re poor what can you do? It ended up being about $650-$700 when finished. Anyway after I got the gun broke In I’ve never had a single malfunction or problem. It’s not the R85 treated model. It’s my first rifle and I couldn’t be more happier with her. She goes and goes with surprisingly little oil and cleaning. Plus Anderson’s factory is only about 25 minutes from my house and I’m a firm believer in supporting local businesses.

    This almost compares to my first time firing the 50 cal when I was in the Army. I was supposed to my NCO's AG. But he was getting out and was bored of shooting things like that. Me on the other hand I had a chubby just hearing the 50 fire off from the other points on the firing line. So instead my NCO tells me to take his 100 rounds and I can shoot them with my 100 rounds. My E6 is behind us and gets the idea I should link the two belts together. So I do this, now I have 200 rounds. I take my turn and load the MG and wait for the tower to tell us the ok to start shooting at our targets. Now I know I got 200 rounds I need to burn through so I knew I needed to hold the butter flys down a little longer lol. Instead it turned into me being like Rambo shooting his M60 into a police station. Just holding down the triggers and letting her rip. My NCO's just cheering and saying shoot this target shoot that target lol. The entire time the tower is just mono tone saying burst fire burst fire. I ripped through that 200 rounds damn quick and the barrel was red and pissing heat. It was the only time I got to do that but I will never forget the shit eatin grin I had when it was done.

      Lol. Great shit bro.
      I’ve saw a .50 after around 500 rounds of continuous firing. The barrel, no shit, rose up like 2-3” and then started to fall to the ground, it almost ended up about 45 degrees down lol. That ma deuce was spitting the shit out of her rifling and was cherry red. The receiver was still good to go. A little CLP, and a barrel change and she was back in action.

    In reality even in the military full auto M4's and M16's rarely get ran this hard so our semi-auto's would never get ran this hard or get this hot even if we pushed them and tried to get them this hot. It's nice to see how good they will do in a torture test just in case they fail earlier than expected, after seeing this I would not expect an Anderson to fail on me in any foreseeable situation.

      The failed stove pipe ejection caused the other round not to chamber all the way, and then the heat caused it to detonate while not all the way chambered(ie cook off while out of battery).
      Edit: the stove pipe could've been caused by many factors, they just happen sometimes. I'm guessing it was from the high cyclic rate of the bcg, maybe a mix of bad ejector spring tension from the heat.
