This "Build Box" episode, Season 2, focuses on a custom bolt-action rifle build. The goal is to create a rifle that is short, light, easy to carry, and highly accurate. The build utilizes a Remington 700-pattern, starting with an Aero Precision Solus action. The video features hosts Ryan Gresham, Chris Cerino, and Kevin "KJ" Jarnagin, alongside guest Todd Bonura from Maniacal Arms. Several partner brands are highlighted for their contributions to the build, including Aero Precision, Timney Triggers, Leupold Optics, and Silencer Central.

This video compares four bolt-action rifle builds across low, mid, and high tiers. It details the components and specifications of each rifle, including the US Arms Co Azrael PRS (high-tier), Aero Precision Solus (mid-high), Bergara B14 HMR Carbon (mid-tier), and Savage Axis II XP (low-tier). The discussion covers calibers like 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Winchester, highlighting key features such as barrel length, optics, and triggers.

This video showcases the assembly of a custom Aero Precision Solus rifle, a project undertaken after a positive review of the stock model. The creator received longer barrels from Aero Precision and built their first bolt-action rifle, encountering some initially alarming but ultimately manageable steps. The focus is on the build process and the initial components used, with the promise of a performance review in a future video. The build includes a Steiner T5xi optic, TriggerTech Special trigger, Accu-Tac WB-4 bipod, Lahar-30 suppressor, and a Magpul PMAG 20.

This video details the installation of a Geissele MK8 Super Modular Rail on an AR-15. Key steps include using a Geissele Reaction Rod for upper receiver stability, proper torquing of the proprietary barrel nut, and secure installation of the gas block and tube. The rail is then slid on and secured with two cross-bolts using a T-handle hex wrench. Final steps involve muzzle device installation and a thorough inspection.

Proper ammunition storage is crucial for maintaining reliability and safety. Avoid storing ammo in cardboard boxes in damp environments, as this leads to moisture absorption and corrosion. Utilize airtight containers like ammo cans and control humidity with desiccants like silica gel packs. Heat accelerates gunpowder and primer degradation, so store ammo at stable room temperatures. Reloading primers are particularly vulnerable to moisture and require strict airtight storage.

This video demonstrates how to upgrade an AR-15's A2 furniture to Magpul components. It details the removal of the A2 grip using a Bondhus hex set and the installation of a Magpul MIAD grip with interchangeable backstraps for improved ergonomics. The process also covers preparing and installing the Magpul PRS stock, highlighting its adjustable features for cheek weld and length of pull.

This video explores the custom Remington 11-87 shotgun used as a prop in 'No Country for Old Men.' The film required a semi-automatic shotgun with a suppressor, a combination not readily available at the time. Prop master Larry Zanoff details how a non-functional, 'homemade' looking suppressor was custom-built for the 11-87, with the iconic silenced sound effect achieved entirely in post-production.
