This video details the unboxing, build-out, and initial setup of a PSA Sabre 13.7" AR-15 upper receiver for a 3,000-round burndown test. The build includes specific optics like a Trijicon ACOG TA31 with RMR and an EOTech EXPS 3-1, a Surefire Scout light, and an M16A1 buttstock. The presenter emphasizes the independent nature of the test and the goal of evaluating the PSA Sabre's performance under stress.

This video argues that the Trijicon ACOG TA31 remains the premier optic for 'doomsday' or 'no rule of law' scenarios due to its battery-free illumination, legendary durability, and proven reliability in extreme conditions. The instructor, with over 13 years of experience and extensive round count, details its performance in various environments and its set-and-forget simplicity. It highlights the importance of zeroing with M855 ammunition and the effectiveness of its bullet drop compensator.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to rifle optic selection, strongly advising against Low Power Variable Optics (LPVOs) for most users due to weight, complexity, and durability concerns. The instructor, with extensive military experience, recommends durable red dot sights like the Aimpoint CompM4/T2 or EOTech EXPS3/EXPS2 for general use, and the Trijicon ACOG TA31 for longer-range engagements. A budget option, the Sig Romeo 5, is also discussed with caveats regarding its mount.

This video argues for the modernization of US Army rifle marksmanship training by replacing the reliance on backup iron sights (BUIS) with advanced optics like the M68 Close Combat Optic (CCO) and the Rifle Combat Optic (RCO). The presenter, a Drill Sergeant Leader, highlights the significant time and resources wasted on BUIS instruction, citing the US Marine Corps' successful integration of ACOGs as a standard issue optic. The paper advocates for revising the Program of Instruction (POI) at the Drill Sergeant Academy to reflect contemporary combat needs and enhance soldier lethality and survivability.

This video provides a detailed breakdown and self-critique of a Palmetto State Armory (PSA) Saber 15 rifle build, highlighting its most-used components. The host discusses the rationale behind specific choices, including the FN 20-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, BCM bolt carrier group, and the PSA Saber trigger, while also identifying potential weak points like the PSA M-Lock handguard and the unconventional light mounting. The video aims to solicit viewer feedback and 'roasts' for the rifle.

This video provides a practical accuracy assessment of the SIG Spear LT (Gen 3 MCX) in 5.56x45mm NATO, conducted by 9-Hole Reviews at The Ranch in Eagle Lake, Texas. The test involved engaging targets from 150 to 500 yards, highlighting the rifle's performance with IMI 77gr Match ammunition. The analysis includes comparisons to other high-end service rifles and discusses potential design concerns like handguard flex and weight balance.

This video compares a retro carry handle sight system against a Trijicon ACOG TA31 optic at 100 meters using a Palmetto State Armory retro build and a Daniel Defense AR-15. The primary takeaway is the importance of testing optics, as the ACOG experienced a critical windage adjustment failure, rendering it unusable and causing it to underperform significantly compared to the iron sights. The carry handle system, despite its age, proved reliable and capable of consistent grouping.

This guide details the setup and usage of the Trijicon ACOG TA31, emphasizing its fixed magnification, short eye relief, and battery-free illumination. It covers mounting options for secondary red dot sights (RMR, SRO) like piggyback and 45-degree offset configurations, discussing their pros and cons for different scenarios. Techniques such as occluded shooting and utilizing the BDC reticle for long-range accuracy are also highlighted, drawing on the instructor's practical field knowledge.

This guide details how to modify a SIG 556 to emulate the Swedish AK5c, incorporating authentic Swiss components. It then outlines a practical accuracy test conducted at 500 yards, highlighting the rifle's performance and the challenges posed by its long-stroke gas piston system. The analysis is presented with high authority from experienced firearms instructors and testers.

This video details a practical accuracy test of the Taiwanese Type 91 (T91) service rifle, chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, out to 500 yards. Conducted by experts Henry Chan and Josh Mazzola at The Ranch in Eagle Lake, Texas, the drill highlights the rifle's performance under gusty conditions. The T91, equipped with a Trijicon ACOG TA31, demonstrated consistent impacts from 150 to 400 yards, with challenges at longer distances primarily attributed to wind. The session also touches upon the T91's historical context and design evolution, comparing its short-stroke gas piston system to other platforms.

This video demonstrates the practical accuracy of an M4A1 Block II rifle configuration, configured with a Daniel Defense RIS II rail and Colt components, out to 500 yards. Expert Jeff Gurwitch, a retired Special Forces Master Sergeant, showcases the rifle's performance with IMI 77gr Match ammunition, achieving notable accuracy despite challenging wind conditions. The discussion also touches upon the SOPMOD Block II program's evolution and the importance of modern optics and accessories for enhanced operational effectiveness.

This guide details a practical accuracy assessment of a suppressed AKs74u (Krinkov) build, featuring a Trijicon ACOG and OSS suppressor. The analysis, conducted by experienced firearms instructors Henry Chan and Josh Mazzola, covers ballistic limitations, specialized spotting techniques for low-energy rounds, and the effectiveness of the rifle at extended ranges up to 500 yards, concluding its optimal performance is within 300 yards.
