Hey shawn, what rifle is that?
Shawn which eotech models do you use?
@Elittiger Savage damn that hits hard!
What’s up with all the deleted videos in the playlist?
What model Daniel Defense AR-15 is that?
I have rubber bands so that’s a start
Warren Cooke you are now pretty dangerous. Walk quietly and carry rubber bands. Lol.
The only thing you need the rubber band for is to make sure you cant have offspring!
Lmfao
If your gun won't fire just shoot them in the eye with a rubber band
Well, at least you don't get caught at Airport checks.
“Green or red what’s better? Here’s the deal, you’re over thinking it, it’s a fucking dot... you put it on the target, you pull the trigger... it gets hit.” This guy is great
the reason people use different color dots on lasers is because red and yellow are lower frequencys and blue and purple are higher frequencys of electromagnetic waves so if you want to obstruct sumones vision you use higher frequency waves
@Tim E…. You’re over thinking it
Reminds me of whenever I see people debating non-military guns like revolvers, shotguns, hunting rifles, big-bore stuff in general.
I'm like "DUDE, THEY ALL GO BANG!". The more I know, the less I want.
My thoughts are.... what can you see better? And do keep in mind, red is dimmer, but it also tends not to contrast with greenery, which may or may not be a concern.
If, on the other hand, you're colorblind, like I am (I mean the real kind, not that fucking SJW shitty version people use to explain how skin color doesn't matter), this may matter more. Green is brighter, yes, but to me, it looks more yellow than green, and is highly visible.
I was going to buy green but he brought up a great point about leprechaun hunting
I could sit through a weapons class with this guy teaching all day. Short, sweet, practical. No bells and whistles. Just experience and realness.
Yeah, I wouldn't learn anything from him.
@@lance9150You’re probably to good to learn anything from anyone. You’ve been raised on the shoulders of the guys who didn’t operate at the peak of the “tactical” gear age or the cutting edge of doctrine. You’re welcome.
Most likely LEO of some sort?
Or a civilian with an itch to scratch?
Probably the best AR setup review I've seen. No BS gucci stuff, just the essential add ons needed to get the job done effectively. Love your channel!!!
Thank you!
@@ShawnRyanShowwhich EOTECH specifically is that?
“If you’re hunting leprechauns..then I probably would not use..a green dot...so there it is..”. 17:06
pro tips
F*ckin Subscribed
I like that too!
hahaha
Some people see the green dot better than the red dot. It's how eyesight and color blindness works
Right, note to self, don't use a green pin for the close range setting on my compound bow! I probably won't be trying to hit leprechauns out past 40 metres. :)
🤣😂
“Don’t do that shit” Most inspirational thing someone has ever told me. Subscribed
I always laugh when he says that because it makes it so clear not to fucking do it
"Don't do that shit" need to be a t-shirt or a morale rail cover
It's crazy how much progress Shawn has made when speaking in videos. You've come a LONG way Shawn, be proud brother!
Hahaha it’s actually hilarious to see him in this video compared to today
You can see the difference for sure from this video 3 years ago and ones he's released recently
Haha right?! Damn potty mouth!
Just listened to the 10th interview and he mentions he struggles with starting sentences and completely forgetting what he’s saying which I think is evident in this video a couple times.
His constant profanity is off putting in the video. I hope that has improved.
Excellent video. I just started a new build and want to keep it as simple and light as possible. You brought back a memory of BASIC. The weapons we were issued had Ptouch labels on the stock with a number, mine was 56. It was about 2" behind the charging handle. I used it as a reference point. A DS from another platoon was ripping me one day because I didn't rest my on the charging handle like they were preaching. I was trying to explain to him what I was doing and of course that went over REAL well. The Master Sergeant from my platoon overheard and stopped him cold. I was routinely firing 35/40 to 40/40 on the range. Master Sergeant told me to keep doing whatever it was that I was doing. That was nearly 35 years ago on an M16A1.
never heard someone say "plant a bomb" so casually in my life, i dig it
Makes me think he might have done it a few times
@@Friedasboss2001 lol do ya reckon?
I thought I was the only one who thought something about it 💀💀
@@Friedasboss2001 good
Breacher things
This guy is actually hilarious with how serious he is. I miss stuff being this simple and straight to the point. Upmost respect to you Shawn.
I almost thought this was a serious video,,, got a great laugh,, one point slings and rubber bands,, 🤣😂🤣
I think of it more as a knowledgeable person than serious
You could tell he's comfortable around guns and not "starstruck" by them. Great shit.
He's one of those guys that are unintentionally funny.
5:45 is pure gold🤣😂
First Shawn Ryan video I saw. Guys like him & a number of other SOF guys opening up publicly is what literally pulled me out of the darkness that almost took me out. 🐐
Love your no bs approach to setting up your combat carbine. Definitely helped me a few years back when updating my old school 2006 “M4” variant to something modern and practical. Just found myself watching this again because it’s still great! Thanks for all you’ve done and continue to do!
This guy would be a terrifying father-in-law
Noah or son in law
Just need to speak the military language to him, he will understand
C'mon . . . who would date his daughter other than another SEALs son! smile
no, id be honored to have a father in law like him!
You only need to fear him if you're a shit head.
One other thing you can do to keep your eotech from breaking is to never leave your moms basement like me. Works everytime.
hahahaha
BUTT, BUTT here in TEXAS, we don't have basements, all on slabs!!! BOOHOO
Or letting it get shot 😂
RK Harm24 on cinder blocks
@@RKHarm24 I know. Im in far west Texas. We got dirt.
love how funny, straight forward, and blunt you are. straight to the point and no BS. upmost respect to you shawn, thank you for your service.
Awesome, first thanks for your service! I'm 61yrs old and served 20 active. I'm not a SEAL, however we did a lot of support missions with you guys. I really enjoyed those missions the most out of all of them. I digress.....anyway, really appreciate the review and candor. Not to mention the straight talk, get tired of the "fluff" from some of the other folks. My setups are very similar to what you have described, also the more shit you put on, the heavier it gets. When you get older it's much more of a physical cost when carrying on the range or hunting. Cheers brother, stay safe. Weird times we live in now.
I miss everything in life being explained as effectively and plainly as this.
Thank you
Danyo6809 now we have commies coking into our land and trying to change our politics and even our school programs! MMURICA!
press W to go forward
Only MIL, LEO, and Fire/EMT will appreciate it🤣🤣🤣

I really like this guy. He’s a hard ass but for a reason. His demeanor completely changed when he was talking about modifying safeties, and I appreciate it. Subbed!
Because discipline is key or the wrong people, including yourself or your buddies die due to laziness... and ignorance. There is nothing hard-ass about competence. It just is.
@@dbrown8785 the mere fact that he spoke about it is important. A lot of people are more focused on Gucci guns and pictures than safely using a rifle.
@@dbrown8785 shut up
Dude, you’re the greatest. I don’t know you personally, but you seem like a very genuine, real dude. We need more of those in today’s world.
The most perfectly explained way to get to the point and informative so you don't build ar for the WRONG set up "A MUST WATCH FOR BEGINNERS"!!! thank you Shawn for your time and service!!!!
"Its tight for a reason, keep it that way" wise words of wisdom
That's what she said.......lok
@@Itsme-mx5tl ruined it
@@adammosley88 AWas that your wallet........
Yea these guys always seem like they’re gay together
Initially, I thought this guy's trying to be a hard ass. 15 minutes in, realized dude might not be trying.
Yeah absolutely this was his job and he knows his shit well. I respect spec ops men a lot. You gotta be really strong to go from a calculated operator to a civilian. God bless
Him: "Fuggin ujjjhhhh"
"Yeah"
Me: "exactly"
Dearl Hardy I’d genuinely love to see you say that to any SEALs face. They don’t compensate for anything. They are the most elite operators the world has ever known.
Dearl Hardy Never made any comments about you. Sounds like you’re overcompensating for an extra flow of estrogen, just like you’re talking about how they have to talk about how badass they are. What a hypocrite.
Yea Shawn stacked bodies for a living.
Just came across your channel and love the NO BS language and practical knowledge that you give. Great Job.
It’s so crazy to watch Sean’s attitude completely 180 since his “journey”. Congrats on 1 year! 🎉 So happy for you my man keep up the amazing podcasts and content!!
for real. I've only ever watched his latest stuff, after his journey. i could tell immediately this was an older vid. checked the date...sure enough, 3 years old
180? God damn what was he like before? It’s like watching a 13 year old who doesn’t want to be there. Also, his personality just sucks. He’s lecturing. I feel like I’m being yelled at and I should feel bad.
Edit, I see. It’s 4 years old. I’ll look at a new one. Hopefully he smiles a bit.
I was thinking the same thing, he's totally different
Journey?
@@joshrandall3632psychedelics. 🍄
Hurting so many feelings with the practicality lmao
shit happens
LMFAO!
The truth only hurts when it ought to.
He's the 240 bravo of butt hurt. #GetSome
the mall ninjas will not like this channel Ha
New shooter here.. I just found this channel. Halfway thru this video and ive already unsubbed from a dozen other channels. Thanks for keeping it real and not selling me bullshit. Thanks for your all you've done for us sir
Happy to hear that.
This guy knows his shit! His buddy Dave (Rut) is another great guy to watch! He’s in a good amount of Shawn’s vids. And look up his buddy Mike from field craft survival! They can really teach you the correct way to do things! Stay safe and vigilant 🙏🏼
It’s all good advice. Don’t need to buy the best but you should buy good gear and guns
Check out ronin tactics
I'm not a spec-op dude, just a JarHead, and I've always took shit from friends I shoot with about my simple set up's on all my rigs, despite the fact that my groupings are always WAY tighter than THEIR'S!!...and here I come across a seasoned dude like Shawn who's been there, done that, proving credibility in that mindset that keeping it "SIMPLE STUPID" is far more reliable when the asphalt meets the tire!!....never seen a iron site fail, short of getting broke off!!....And YES I'm in full agreement with the point made about FKN with the safety, I myself like that firm snappy click on mine that leaves no doubt about whether I'm EVER gonna have an AD do to sloppiness on that extremely important issue!!....I also Hone, then Polish my Mil-Spec trigger disconnector's for a smooth 3 to 4 LB pull and experiment with different weights and spring tensions till I get the perfect smooth balanced full cycling I'm looking for, instead of using adjustable gas blocks, with again emphasis on reliability!!...TY for sharing Shawn!!👍...Awesome break down!!....0331...1/8
Watching this brought me back in my old unit, inside a classroom with a SGT giving an instruction. The best.
When he talks about the intimidation factor of putting a visible laser on somebody’s chest -
“In civilian life, you probably, you know...don’t need to be doing that.”
The way he says shit sometimes has me laughing so hard.
Smith Been to Seattle lately? Civilian life may start to get interesting.
“If you’re hunting leprechauns, you probably would not....use...a green...dot...there you go” lol
@@calebrogers1593 lol
And now you might need to... welcome to the future
This comment aged poorly.
*Sees Shawn burst through the door*
Terrorist: "oh no"
*notices the vertical forgrip*
Terrorist: "OH NO!"
Now read the terrorist line as Mickey Mouse
The moment he come through the door was the same moment the terrorist died
* Kool Aid Guy bursts through the wall with M4 and Nightvision *
OHH YEAHHH!
@@williamgarner2651 the brain only takes .00007 milliseconds to think "oh no". He didnt even have that
Oh toodles!!
3:32 Such an important little tip Shawn said here that will improve your aiming speed and accuracy, which I use one of those circular furniture felt pad on my rifles because the felt adds an unique texture layer to help your cheek area sense it faster.
I’m just starting to build up my first rifle setup and this helped me a lot! Thank you for making me choose red dot compared to a green one since I’m trying to hunt some leprechauns.
Lol. That had me as well laughing my balls off. What if I’m hunting unicorns ?
For new rifle owners, he should have mentioned astigmatism. Red dots will be blurry to varying degrees for almost 50% of people due to astigmatism. Prism's like the EOtech wont be, nor will irons or conventional glass scopes.
This doesnt mean you can't use a red dot, unless you have severe astigmatism, but you may strongly prefer a prism.
I want to thank you for the way you explain things and taking the time to talk to us who aren't military. I just appreciate being safe and prepared for my family and myself and I rely on your videos a lot for verbal learning so to speak, it's just easy for me to get you. I try to catch them all and I'm just a nobody but I want you to know how important your words are to me. Thank you
That's really cool to hear man. Thank you for commenting and thank you for watching.
@@ShawnRyanShow no sir..thank you
I agree completely with everything you said. This guy teaches civilians like us for free and gives us real world knowledge. That's priceless.
Vigilance Elite what kind of butt stock do you use on the military set up, i dig it
@@mattwebster1552 Daniel defense
I’ve probably watched this video 20 times. Straight gold. Every new gun owner should watch this. Educational yet hilarious seriously funny.
Same lmao every year i randomly watch it because it pops up again and again 😂😂😂 wish he would do videos like this again.
Wasn't really meant to be funny
@@jayblemsin4226 wow. You must professor X from X-men. You can read people’s minds.
@joshjosh575 I am in a wheelchair. I mean it's highly educational well thought out and smartly produced but it's not exactly funny. Can you clarify the funny part ? I feel like you are missing the point and just laughing at the swearing or something.
Don't get a green dot bro
I’ve watched this video probably 10 times this last few years. I’m not sure why I keep coming back even after building a few of my own rifles now. It was one of the first videos I watched before building my first rifle.
Shawn's presentation is squared away. The bored, all business tone, Mil spec vocabulary, and the timing of is perfect. Its the stated or implied insults to certain audience members for some choices they might have made (fuckin safety, light discipline, green dots obviously don't work for Leprechauns) while including thee awkward pauses that really sell the performance. It is so authentic, I actuality got nervous about being AWOL and out of uniform FFS.
In this episode of Frank castle teaches us about ar15 etiquette
phycadelic pikachu haha 😂
I was wondering who this guy fucking reminded me of 😭🤣😭🤣😭
Fucking Niiiice.
Frank Castle pulls drill duty, basic rifle marksmanship.
Or Shane from Walking Dead
Me: never shot a gun in my life
Also me: watched 23 minute video on how to setup an AR15
me: shot 2 pistols in my life
Also me: just watched 2 hours of AR15 setups
Time to join the club you won’t regret it
lol same. Been watching loads of gun set ups for a hours and hours.
Looks like it’s time to get one!
I’m from the UK so unfortunately can’t :(
going back to some old videos really emphasizes how far your show has come bro! I remember watching this the day it came out.
This is in reply to your AR setup about the tourniquet:
I was at Wal Mart shopping around and found an item called "Bleedstop". It made me rethink my EDC after that. Man, I'm going to look into carrying a tourniquet now as well. You never know now days.
Great content Ryan!
“...next thing I know it’s hitting a metal gate and the whole goddamn neighborhood wakes up.”
Shaun should narrate more shit
I'd like to sit around a huge bonfire with some beers and listen to even a tiny fraction of the stories Shawn has. Probably some classified shit he can't speak on but I bet he has some crazy stories he could...
So, if you're hunting Santa Clause, don't use the red dot. Got it.
David Liu it’s better if you use thermal imaging he appears much colder than every thing
@@richies5059 works best if it's killer robot Santa Clause
Bad luck for those leprechauns & illegal elf trafficking will hit a low.
BUT with all the green & red peppers from the night before, Hanky the Christmas Poo just dodged a bullet...
Why would you hunt Santa? haha
Vigilance Elite because he breaks into my house every year and I’m sick of it😂
Obviously the voice of experience! Direct, real, hilarious presentation. Best rig setup video ever!
I truly got good informative information here versus the typical guntuber channels. Love Shawns work as a interviewer. His podcasts are addictive and i typically rewarch most if not all episodes
I appreciate your no BS straight forward way of speaking.
Bobby'smiddle Boy agree 100% sadly its become a lost art in today’s society.
I second that, no sugar coating your words and straight to the point. Keep making the awesome videos
I was gonna post the same thing. 👍
Ironbomb great minds.
I have been trying to figure out why he talks the way he does then it hit me .... imagine doing all kinda amped up crazy shit then living the civvie life ... hes fucking bored out his god damn mind LOL. I dont think thats really why (or maybe it is) but it made me chuckle to myself thinking it.
I go on ops every night raiding peoples houses for TP and hand sanitizer
I said my refrigerator. I always accomplish the mission. Hey. I'm 53. I'm done knocking down big game. Semper Fi. Stay safe guys.

How’s the legs doing Lt?
@@hoodiestimbs2783 But Hoodies, Lt ain’t got no legs😀
I remember watching these videos.. now look how far he has come in such a short time…
Anyone can do it.Just put in the effort and hard work. Congrats to you man!
Isn't it insane? I remember his old pissed off war stories when there were like maybe 3k subscribers and he was a gun reviewer and tactics channel. Haha
I can appreciate this guy -
1. Tells it how it is.
2. Talks about the AR as it is: a tool.
3. He killed Osama bin Laden.
Ya and Jimmy Hoffa too, he's my hero!
It seems like MOST SEALS and spec-ops guys in general talk that way about firearms. It really is remarkable how knowledgeable, and professional they are when it comes to talking about firearms.
@@LuisRamirez-ln3cj That was Robert O'Neill. But they're all amazing people regardless.

Love the straight no bs script reading. Raw & honest.
I came here for the discussion on optics for leprechaun hunting. Thanks for the clarification - hard to find any good info online. Great Vid.
This is a great video, thanks for sharing the knowledge and experience.
Thank you for watching. We will be in touch very soon! Cheers 🍻
Yooooo Vigilance Elite and Wranglerstar collab?? I'm here for it
Ari Beck We’ll see what happens.
get out of here you commie lovin Fudd.
Say it ain’t so Shaun
so........i tried the whole C-grip and vertical grip thing you showed us..........dude, you should see my bedroom door right now, WOW!!! I totally understand what you mean now, thanks!!!
😂😂😂
I love my eotech, I have almost thr same setup minus the lasers and all that fancy NV stuff. I also have flip up back up sights. I'm going to switch to the fixed dd sights or the midwest industries sights, I also run a MI combat rail with a streamlight protac also a jp silent capture. I put a faxon pencil barrel on it and it's so light and feels so great to shoot. It's the best rifle I have ever built. I did put a adjustable gas block on it just because I have a skeleton bcg.i have put over 1500 rounds through It in the last 2 months and I haven't had a single malfunction. I run it hot and hard too. Pencil barrels have came a long way.
For those who are still discovering this video and maybe if Shawn is still monitoring the comments. When you were talking about the BAD lever and wondering why people use it. I shoot my rifles left handed and pistols right handed so when I was with the Rangers, I always had a BAD lever on my rifle and still do, because it allows my right thumb to drop the bolt after I reload. But righties can also make use of it because their right index finger can drop the bolt when reloading.
This is the most straight up, no b******t review I have ever seen. Love it
but then he recommends civilians get a ~$4500 warsport gun that isn't even in business any longer. mixed signals from this guy. some great advice mixed with some horrible bits too.
Steve Moore he is just saying. Your right but humans will be human. I don't like leaving negative comments unless totally called for. How about the tournament man? Don't think I will be mounting one of those on my gun. Sure hope I never need it. Peace out
Man I love this no bullshit approach to a ar setup. People love to overcomplicate a simple thing. Thanks for your service, sir. Subbed.
Yes, HIGHLY AGREE my guy! This "no bullshit" approach is imo the way it should be. Of course we've got things in the market that make things more comfortable maybe but we've also got things that imo are completely unnecessary. All about that money, even in the world of guns that we love. Yeah dude, great point!
I call these people magazine players. They need to coolest, newest thing. Industries love them because they can sell them something they already have that does the same thing. Or trick you buy something over priced
That Vickers 221 QD with the pull-tab is honestly worth every penny. I Have one on my folding mini 14 on single point and I LOVE It!
Love this video! This is the video that got my familiar with Shawn, I found it hilarious and informative. Fast forward today and I tune in to every video! Love the videos and interviews you do. Even if it’s a topic I’m unfamiliar with I’ll tune in because there are so captivating. Love your channel! Keep up the phenomenal work brother!
Agreed 100% on the sling preference for a military use 👌🏿
I like a 2 to 1 point as well, but I'm surprised he prinarily stays in 1 point config and fights like that.
I use the 1 point feature strictly for getting in armored tactical vehicles, which are always tight as hell, especially the truck commander seat.
Single point also makes sure you dont get hung up in a doorway, especially if you have to back out quickly.
@@mattnsac true but you if you need to run with your hands full, or transition to pistol, it ends up banging around your legs and knees.
Tradeoffs, pros and cons I guess.
@@JP-wk7cc Know of a guy that died because his two point held him up on a doorway when haji came around the corner and opened up on him. Being able to switch to a 2 point is perfect, but doing an entry with one is something I wouldnt do.
@@mattnsac I'm sorry to hear that a man lost his life from something so trivial. How does the sling get caught? I'm having a hard time visualizing this.
I like this guy.. not a know it all gun nerd who serched wiki before his review. NEW SUB
DubedPanda KP thank you 🙏🏻
@@TheFrenchmanCooks He's saying a lot of reviewers only shoot at ranges and some barely shoot and just buy guns and read about them for reviews. However, this guy has a lot of experience. To have it spelled out.
As much as I like the Shawn Ryan show I should’ve expected nothing less from one of your videos pertaining to firearms. We need this about literally everything which means I need to pay to become a member. I’ve never paid and joined any kind of group thing but I like the way you go about things. No bullshit, straight to the point and not shilling for any companies sending free shit or paying for promotions. Would like to see videos on kit, secondary/sidearm, working in and out of a vehicle, formations when with a team. Could name off probably ten other things I’d like to pick your brain on of course so videos on everything brother.
I watch this video at least once a month to remind myself to keep things simple and not get carried away with the builds
I appreciate you recommending a modified safety setup while still emphasizing safety and the use of a mechanical safe setup.
I love how he doesn’t always knows the exact terms for parts and shit. He’s just an operator. He’s like Cole Trickle from Days of Thunder. Couldn’t tell ya about parts of cars. But can drive the f out of em.
Haha. Forreals. I always felt kinda dumb cause I didn't know/remember the name of parts when trying to explain to a civilian (I'm former ARMY). Everything was always, "this f'n s*** here."
When in doubt anything becomes, "that f'n s**t there."
@@benignobrionesiii 😂
Yep. I’ve done a little bit of buying and selling with military guys in my area, it is very common for them not to give a damn about names and brands. As long as it works, and does the job. that’s really The Only concern. Who can blame them?
@@angeldesigns1385 that's what really matters. "What can do what I need it to do?" Period.
@@benignobrionesiii exactly. But they understand because your pointing at it so hard you put a fxxkin dent in it.
This video is 4 years old, I’ve recently watched many of your new videos and podcasts and I have to say I can tell you’ve went through some exponential changes. Here you were more direct and what some may say ‘assholish’. Today you’re still direct but much more diplomatic.
I remember how wrapped up I was when I first got into the carbine world. I wanted several different types of lower receivers, and I remember how enamored I was with the Radian ADAC. I also wanted a whole lot of different types of tape switches and buttons for my rifle light. But then, it dawned on me - I don't need all that shit. I streamlined my rifle, simplify everything, have only one scope on it, and I just modify my lower receiver to accept the PDQ ambi lever. I would emphasize on ambidexterity on your rifles, though. It's a much needed thing.
So if i'm hunting leprechauns, don't use green and if i'm hunting santa claus, don't use red. GOT IT.
Pay da "fuck' attention!
For fucks sake ,,,geeze !
What ,,are you,a leprechaun? Lol lol

Who the fuck hunts Santa Claus?
By the way, you couldn't hunt Santa Claus. SC is the original operator. Who else can deliver multiple packages to numerous HVTs under an impossible timeframe?

The deadpan humor and sarcasm is just great! Seriously though it is nice to see a clean/fairly simply rifle setup. Pretty tired of the having 20 things hanging off of a rifle, it just gets insane at that point.
The speed you dismantled buddies setup with was mind blowing 🤯
"range monkeys"...this is a man that loves his audience hahahahahah
Zero fucks given
Love the "straight forward attitude" especially with the safety. Love it. This info is straight forward and practical. Awesome
I watched this video 4 yrs ago. I didn’t comment or thumbs up . I watched from start to finish with much of the information being the template for the rifle I would soon customize. Flash forward to yesterday painting my house and I’m thinking about this video and how far Shawn has come in such short time. Jump to this morning and I’d be damned if. I willed this video back into my feed. The work is never done
I appreciate the insight from an individual of your background. I really like the concept of having a tourniquet on the butt stock and I’m really considering using it on my ar15 build. Thank you for the information and thank you for your service.
This dude is incredibly down to earth and honest, I love his content.
Damnit shawn, 10 months later i come back to this just to show my friends why i love your videos. Congrats on the goats don't ever stop making videos please.
I love how you shoot straight. It's serious enough to know you're not joking but the delivery is still funny.
Thanks for the video and advice, Shawn. I just recently replaced my original hand guard with a Magpul M-Lok, with picatanny rails. Originally, I was going to get an angle grip, but when you mentioned the advantage to having a Vertical grip, I changed my mind on that. I might change the charging handle to the one you suggested in the future. Thanks again.
Not a fan of vertical grips. It adds weight out front; weight out front is worse than weight in the back.
The main benefit to vgrips is heat mitigation during sustained automatic fire, not a civilian problem. The secondary reason is leverage for driving a melee strike ...more likely, but still not likely. Rule #1 of CQB is avoid CQB.
Polymer angle grips are a lot lighter, so I'd lean that way if I ran a grip at all.

I like this dudes videos. He seems like a straightforward no BS kinda guy. Respect and thank you for all your sacrifices.
Thank you for your service sir. I’m super grateful I came across your knowledge. Straight toward without the bs💪🏽
Just noticed how much more relaxed you are now in your newer shows , as always great video thanks for all the content you put out and not being afraid or seduced by bullshit looking foward to selling eonough cars this month to join the patreon
First off I want to thank you for your service as a SEAL and in the CIA. I'm a LEO and have a tremendous amount of respect for the things you have done. The mindset, the amount of training and sacrifice you have given is unheard of. There is a reason there are a small number of people who do what you do. This was the first video on your channel that I watched but have seen almost every one you've done now. I appreciate your honesty and no bullshit approach to this topic. I also appreciate your honesty about what this job has done to you. I watched your episode on anxiety last night and it takes a real man to have that type of honesty in front of the entire world. Keep doing what you are doing Sir.
Navy SEAL & former CIA operative? What the actual hell. Have they made a movie about this guy?
Yeah it's called catch me if you can
This is the guy that trains John Wick!!!
@@wvmountaineer69 Right xD
For real, look it up!!!
@@wvmountaineer69 o.O
I like the idea of having a torniquete there. I would use Velcro straps instead of rubber bands though… I will try it for sure. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.
How come I'm only seeing this video now?...more of these gear type videos.
Ive been subscribed for a while, but i guess i need to look through your old videos!
Hey love your channel. Recently put a 36 yard zero on my 11.5 "other" ar15. Honestly the most practical zero I've ever shot with. Thanks a lot and I'd love to take a class with you some day.
That’s what I’m using best I’ve used on a red dot on a 16 inch barrel at 100 yards I can still hit dead center of a targets chest
Where did he talk about a 36 yard zero? Would like to see that video
Reviews..story time... and the tips’n’tricks - love what you do
Don’t f@@k with the safety
I can certainly apply the lube ‘tip’ in civilian life.. always keep it lubed
Commercial breaks are great dude
Thanks Shawn, I’m a newbie with the AR.
Only around 200 rounds so far. I’m going to try the tape technique at the 3:32 mark. The cheek landing on the same place every time, and the groupings being different. It made sense me. Thanks again. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Major reason my rifle is the way it is. This video cut out my overthinking and gave me a rifle to learn on. Mil spec trigger, iron sights, allowing me to put more money into ergonomics (radian CH, Radian ambi safety, bcm gunfighter vert grip, b5 systems stock, fostech sabre grip). My sights are the polymer magpul but that was because I couldn’t find retail price metal sights. They were either out of stock or more expensive than the manufacturer suggested price. Gives me more practice to zero my sights and learn how to deal with irons. Flashlight and eotech are next on my list but I want to get training first. Cutting the bullshit let me get a high quality BCG, a decent Mlok rail, and a barrel that should last several thousand rounds. While I don’t have a lpvo that cost more than my rifle, I am extremely confident in my rifle and don’t think I’ll need to engage in anything over a 100 yards anyways. My eyes can see down a football field fine.
You just saved my ass Shawn. I was just planning a big hunting trip way up north for Leprechauns and was running green dots....would have been a nightmare. Thanks dude and keep up the great work!
“DON’T F*** WITH THE SAFETY!”
Me: Sir, yes sir. I will not mod the safety sir.
Dave S. I I sir
I didn’t know you could do anything with the safety...I’ve never tried cause it really does sound stupid
Straight military the way he explained that! Couldn't think of a better way to explain it
The man said "it's tight for a reason". Roger that Sir. Roger that.
Thank you, Sir! I sold my Mossberg MMR when I went to med school but I used to be a machinist so I did some cool mods to a mediocre rifle. In fact, a gun shop owner bought it; I could tell he fell in love with it but I sold the deal when I told him all the stuff I did in the machine shop & how. Some day I will build another from billet titanium... oh yeah, I've machined that stuff before!
@samvojtech1153 hold on you went from machinist to med school?
I gotta give the hat commercial a five stars . No need for fancy effects or high budget . It had drama a little action and comedy.probably all done in a parking lot in 20 minutes Bravo!
"...youre overthinking it, its a fucking dot." 🤣🤣🤣🤜🤛
Thanks Sean. Even though I have several weapons I am building my first AR. There are so many frickin add ons and as you say it ultimately comes down to putting rounds down field learning the weapon. There are so many custom after market parts it gets confusing on what do you really need. I am setting mine up for closer combat weapon no more than 100 yards. Appreciate your time and advice...btw the VE commercial wasn't too bad either.
Thank you, Shawn. At 45, my first AR. Helped me out a ton.
Love the way this guy communicates. Clear and consise, no sugar added. Reminds me of why I hate civilian life.
Foam on the stock for perfecting your sight picture is genius idk why I never thought of that
Dominic Farace foam is good, and a few layers of duct tape works just fine as well! Whatever gives your cheek that resistance!
Trey Crews you missed the whole point...
Matthew Esraelo no I didn’t you fuck. You put a piece of foam, or tape, to form a habit of where to put your cheek for the same sight picture every time. When I said resistance I meant something to touch your cheek bone with the stock. You bougie fuck
@@MrCrew97 agro much?
