Ryan details his custom 13.9-inch AR-15 General Purpose Rifle (GPR) build, incorporating lessons learned from five years of experience. Key components include a VLTOR A5 buffer system for reduced recoil, an ADM ambidextrous lower with a Geissele SSA-X trigger for precision, and a Sionics NP3 BCG for reliability. The build emphasizes modern updates like a Huxwrx Flow 556k suppressor for minimal gas blowback and an Aimpoint T2 on a Unity FAST riser for an improved sight picture.

This comparison between a 5.56 SPR and a .308 DMR for civilian use highlights the SPR's practicality due to lower recoil, lighter weight, and ammunition cost. While the .308 offers more power, the 5.56 SPR is deemed more suitable for individual civilian logistics and training.
