This episode of 'Bust Your Builds' features a panel of firearms enthusiasts reviewing and rating user-submitted firearm builds. The hosts discuss various configurations, accessories, and modifications, offering insights into their functionality, aesthetics, and perceived value. They provide scores based on a 1-10 scale, highlighting both strengths and weaknesses of each build, and offer advice for potential improvements. The episode covers a range of firearms, including AR-15 variants and other platforms, with detailed discussions on optics, suppressors, grips, and other tactical enhancements.

Elliott Delp provides an expert guide to building and testing a custom Geissele Super Duty AR-15, valued at approximately $1500. He details the component selection, assembly process, and rigorous testing for reliability and accuracy, concluding that the Geissele hype is justified for its performance and value, especially when pieced together during sales.

Drew Estell of Bear Solutions details his preferred carbine setup, emphasizing simplicity and functionality. Key components include a Ripcord Industries rifle, B5 Systems stock adjusted for comfort, a Leupold LCO optic potentially with a Unity riser for ergonomic benefits, and a Geissele SD3G trigger for fast shooting. He also highlights the Dark Matter CMD for light maintenance and explains his rationale for a reversed front sight post and specific sling mount placement for optimal weapon control and retention.

This video explains the concept of 'height over bore' and its critical importance when zeroing firearm optics. It demonstrates how the distance between the bore and the optic's line of sight causes bullet impacts to be lower than the aiming point at close range. The explanation emphasizes the need to aim higher at closer distances to compensate for this effect, especially when using optic risers, and how this difference diminishes at greater distances.

This video provides an in-depth look at the B&T APC223 sporter variant, highlighting its features and performance. The hosts discuss its modularity, proprietary hydraulic buffer system for reduced recoil, and ambidextrous controls. They demonstrate its shooting characteristics both suppressed and unsuppressed, noting its soft recoil impulse and reliability over multiple magazines.

This guide details the installation of key accessories on the Sig Sauer MCX Spear (M7) rifle, focusing on optics and ergonomics. It covers mounting the Sig Sauer Romeo8T red dot, EOTECH G45 magnifier, and Unity Tactical Riser for improved sight picture and shooting posture. Additionally, it addresses the installation of a BCM foregrip on the M-LOK handguard for enhanced weapon control. The process emphasizes safe firearm handling throughout the accessory setup.

This guide details how to set up an 11.5-inch Geissele URGI rifle in the configuration favored by Army Rangers, often referred to as a 'Ranger Clone'. It covers component selection, accessory mounting, and zeroing procedures, emphasizing practical application and reliability for combat scenarios. The instruction comes from an expert with high authority, demonstrating deep knowledge of SOF weapon systems.

This video details a BCM MKII AR-15 setup optimized for general purpose use and night vision operations. The presenter, Mark, emphasizes the AR platform's modularity and accessory compatibility for home defense and other roles. The build features a Dead Air Sandman-S suppressor, JMac Customs muzzle brake, Surefire M300 Scout light with a 100 Concepts light cap, Steiner DBAL-D2 laser/illuminator, EOTech EXPS3-0 optic on a Unity Tactical riser, and an HRF flared magwell. The setup aims to bridge the gap between a General Purpose Rifle (GPR) and a Special Purpose Rifle (SPR).

The Scalarworks KICK 01 Riser is a lightweight accessory designed to elevate optics, promoting a more upright shooting posture, particularly beneficial for night vision operations. It increases the optic's height, typically to around 2.26 inches when combined with standard mounts, which can improve comfort and speed but also increases mechanical offset. The riser is constructed from 7075 T6 aluminum with Type 3 hard coat anodization and features torque markings for proper installation.

This review focuses on the Vortex Crossfire Red Dot sight, highlighting its sub-$200 price point and robust features, including night vision settings. The presenter notes its Aimpoint footprint compatibility with various risers and discusses a potential drawback of non-perfectly circular dots on cheaper optics, using an EOTech magnifier as a comparison point. Despite this, the Vortex Crossfire is deemed rugged and effective for its cost.

This video from Tactical Hive, presented by 'Coch', details the evolution of red dot sight height on firearms. It explains how early setups like the Aimpoint CompM2 on a carrying handle provided a high bore axis, while later iterations moved to lower third co-witness. The discussion emphasizes the importance of optic height for effective use with night vision devices and addresses the trend towards taller risers like those from Unity Tactical for better integration with nods and a more natural shooting posture.

This guide details setting up a rifle for night vision operations, focusing on the EOTech EXPS3 optic and a Unity Tactical riser. It emphasizes choosing optics that allow for passive aiming with NVGs and addresses considerations like riser height for chin weld, potential co-witness issues with iron sights, and accessory placement for IR devices. The setup aims to create a functional night vision rifle platform.
