This guide details the assembly and tuning of an AR-15 build designed for zero recoil, as demonstrated by Reno May. It focuses on integrating specialized components like the Unrivaled Technologies LP-X3 muzzle brake, a multi-stage dead blow buffer, a lightweight BCG, and an adjustable gas block. Proper tuning of the gas system and muzzle brake is crucial for achieving minimal muzzle movement and a flat shooting profile, even during rapid fire.

This video critiques the hypocrisy of anti-gun advocates who condemn firearms for home defense while endorsing more brutal, less effective methods.

This video demonstrates a manual bump-firing technique for achieving rapid fire without a mechanical bumpstock device. Instructor Reno May showcases how to achieve high rates of fire on AR-15 and AK-pattern rifles using proper grip, trigger control, and body mechanics. The demonstration emphasizes that high-capacity magazines and optics can facilitate rapid shooting, but the core technique relies on manual manipulation and trigger reset. Proper safety protocols, including PPE, are highlighted.
