I Ran a Budget AR-15 in the Toughest Competition: What Happened?
This video details the performance of a budget AR-15 build in the extreme conditions of the Finnish Brutality competition. Despite facing sub-zero temperatures and heavy use without cleaning, the rifle, featuring Aero Precision and BCM components with a Primary Arms SLx optic, performed admirably, experiencing only one double feed malfunction on the second day. The discussion also touches on cold weather firearm maintenance and the trade-offs between budget and high-end builds.
