This review delves into the Colt 723, a CAR-15 variant famously used by Delta Force in Mogadishu. It highlights the challenges and nuances of building historically accurate retro clones, emphasizing the importance of period-correct parts over movie props. The discussion covers technical aspects like IR aiming devices, optics for passive aiming with NVGs, and the ballistic advantages of a 14.5-inch barrel for the 5.56mm cartridge.

This review tests the practical accuracy of an AK Niner Mk 3 build chambered in 5.56mm out to 500 yards. The rifle features a Sureshot Armament Group Mk 3 chassis and Holosun ACSS optics. While performing well at closer ranges, accuracy degraded significantly at 500 yards due to a suppressor working loose, highlighting the critical impact of component security on precision.

This video reviews the Mk12 Mod0 rifle in a practical accuracy speedway challenge, engaging targets from 150 to 720 yards. Despite high expectations, the rifle performed consistently, achieving 1-1.5 MOA. Key challenges included suppressor-induced mirage and the limitations of mil-dot reticles for rapid adjustments compared to modern optics.

This review re-evaluates the Mk12 Mod0's accuracy with a new PRI upper, finding it a capable Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) out to 800 yards, especially when suppressed. Testing with IMI 77gr and Mk262 ammunition showed significant accuracy improvements with the AEM5 suppressor, reducing group sizes by up to 33%. The video emphasizes that 9-shot groups are more statistically representative of a system's true capability than smaller groups.

This review delves into the Colt 723 and 733 carbines, often called the 'Gordon Carbine,' which served as precursors to the modern M4. It highlights their significance in special operations, detailing configurations like Gary Gordon's suppressed setup and the technical evolution from earlier models. The review includes range testing, demonstrating accuracy and the benefits of suppressed fire, ultimately crediting these carbines with influencing modern military firearms.

This review compares a PRI Mk12 Mod0 upper with a BCM reproduction, evaluating accuracy with MK262 and similar 77-grain loads. The BCM upper showed a 4% average accuracy improvement. The Allen Engineering AEM5 suppressor significantly reduced group sizes by 30% with zero point-of-impact shift, demonstrating its effectiveness. A technical flaw in the BCM barrel's suppressor collar was also identified.
