Videos tagged with AR-15 Accuracy

This video provides a comprehensive review of top AR-15 rifles across various price points, from $500 to $2,000. The instructors, with extensive experience shooting AR-15s, offer firm recommendations based on value, reliability, and features. They highlight how quality and features gradually increase with price, focusing on components like furniture, triggers, handguards, and overall shooting experience.

This video provides an in-depth review of Palmetto State Armory (PSA) AR-15 rifles after extensive testing over three years and 9,000 rounds. The instructor, with significant testing experience, concludes that PSA rifles can be 'just as good' as higher-end options if certain upgrades and maintenance practices are followed, particularly for users who train extensively. Key recommendations include upgrading the bolt carrier group on standard models and prioritizing FN Cold Hammer Forge barrels for durability.

This video explores the viability of gas-operated rifles for Precision Rifle Series (PRS) competitions. Instructor Justin shares his experience after shooting his first PRS match with a gas gun, demonstrating its accuracy and consistency even after 200-300 rounds without cleaning. He highlights potential challenges like reliability and heavier triggers, while emphasizing the importance of proper rifle balance and operator skill.

This guide explains the benefits and installation of free-float handguards for AR-15 platforms, emphasizing their role in improving accuracy and modularity. It details different types like quad rail, MLOK, and carbon fiber, and provides a decision matrix for selecting the right handguard based on build objectives and budget. The video also covers common mistakes, maintenance, and debunks myths surrounding free-float systems.

This review of the Rifle Supply RS15 highlights significant concerns regarding its accuracy and reliability, particularly as the firearm heats up. Despite a visually appealing Cerakote finish, the rifle experienced frequent malfunctions, including stove piping and failures to extract, after a relatively low round count. Accuracy degraded substantially with barrel warmth, making consistent hits at distance impossible.

This video provides a 1,400-round accuracy review of a BCM MK2 14.5-inch upper receiver with a 13-inch Raider rail. The reviewer tests six different types of ammunition at 100 yards, using a variable power Vortex scope. The BCM upper is highlighted for its value and durability, with the Remington 69-grain Match King proving to be the most accurate ammunition tested.

This video tests the accuracy and velocity of four different AAC 5.56 ammunition loads (69gr HPBT, 69gr Sierra Match King, 77gr OTM, 77gr Sierra Match King) fired from a 16-inch Bear Creek Arsenal upper with a 1:8 twist rate. The instructor notes that the rifle has become more accurate as it has broken in. While most loads performed well, the 77gr Sierra Match King showed inconsistent results, particularly in five-shot groups.

This video debunks common ballistics myths through experimental testing. A high-velocity .223 round in a .300 Win Mag case demonstrated significant expansion, contrary to popular belief. The accuracy of AR-15 platforms for hunting was proven with sub-MOA groups. The instructor also discussed recoil absorption techniques and optimal shot placement for hunting, supported by expert-level data and demonstrations.

This video details the components and considerations for building a Special Purpose Rifle (SPR). It emphasizes selecting an accurate 5.56 AR-15 platform with specific attention to an adjustable stock, vertical grip, precision trigger, and a versatile magnified optic with a Mil-Mil reticle and a 20 MOA mount. The guide also highlights the importance of a heavier, free-floated barrel, a rifle-length gas system, and appropriate muzzle devices for enhanced performance and recoil management.

This video tests the reliability and accuracy of a Bear Creek Arsenal AR-15 chambered in 7.62x39 using brass-cased ammunition from Belom, X-Force, and New Republic. The reviewer notes historical reliability issues with the firearm and attempts to zero a 5 MOA Red Dot sight at 50 and 100 yards, ultimately concluding that a scope might be more appropriate due to accuracy limitations.

This review of the KE Arms KP-15 WWSD AR-15 highlights its lightweight polymer construction and unique features like the JP captured spring system. However, it critically examines its high price point, significant upper-to-lower receiver wiggle, average accuracy, and issues with light primer strikes on steel-cased ammunition. The reviewer suggests that while the concept is interesting, the execution and cost do not justify its value compared to other options.
