My nephew took the approach of buying Colt 6920 OEM-2 rifles and Colt 6920 Troopers. After his EAS from the Marines. And has his first OEM-2 hit 20k not to long ago. Not as nice as a Super Duty. Or URGI. But a very serviceable rifle. 80% of your police cruisers have a 6920 in it. Not to mention the plethora of Colt, Colt Canada and FN rifles running around Ukraine. That are made basically to the same standard. It's always better to buy stuff that is vetted. PSA/BCA and all the junk out there has nobody in harms way using it professionally. I have a buddy. Army Turd. 4 tours in the GWOT. Makes the same amount of money roughly as I do. Which isn't a whole bunch. He has 2 Geissele Super Duty rifles. And 3 rifles with the URGI. He prioritizes his life in a way to afford high quality stuff. It's easy to do. Once you start doing it. But with that said I handed my buddy a 6920 Trooper. That has a GLx 1-6 on it. He ran a course of fire out to 600 with it. Only things I added to it is a Sprinco white/hot spring. Magpul SL and K grip. A Radian charging handle and Colt ambi saftey. He ran the course with it. After his last string. He looked down at it and said, "I could take this rifle to war." He added that there was stuff that wasn't completely to his liking. Like with anything. But said he would absolutely take that to a block party.

I'm kind of missing the allure of putting 1200 USD into an upper that won't shoot better than my $875 upper + 70 dollar muzzle brake + 65 Aero Precision adjustable gas block + 15 for a gas tube, and 15 bucks for vertical grip. At 1200 USD you are buying a nice handguard essentially. I also did this math with 200 USD handguard of my choice such as Aero Precision S-One, 300 dollar barrel such as Criterion, or if you want to buy cheaper but still good Rosco Barrel for 150, Nickel Boron BCG, Radian Charging handle, and a muzzle brake. Building your own will always get you better results, because you will get exactly what you want at the lower cost. If you can't be bothered building, by all means, but I will yield better results by buying parts separately. Just my 2 cents.

For 1,200 dollars you can buy yourself a competent CNC machine that will make its money back.

Not necessarily the video to comment on, but I'm curious what your thoughts are on my current setup. I decided to turn my DDM4v7 16" into my night vision rifle. for the setup I put on a surefire warcomp flash hider, and optic/LAM wise I'm running a DBAL D2(yea its heavy) and an Eotech XPS3 on a riser with a magnifier... I like the setup overall, but I definitely notice a small bit of flash when I shoot it under nods. It's nothing crazy, but mildly annoying. Unfortunately, I don't have anyone near me to compare in person so idk, but I've been considering buying a suppressor. I assume it would be too long on a 16", so I would need to go shorter, but I really don't want to go any shorter than a 13.7.. (I also don't want a pistol brace, and I don't want an SBR). Not to mention I don't really want a suppressor at all because of the increased wear on parts, added weight, and shorter barrel. All that said, I've heard that suppressors will significantly help eliminate the flash. So maybe I'm being silly. what would you do in my position? sorry for the book.

Only thing I'd add, instead of just opening a savings account with the bank your checking account is at. Get a savings account with a bank without physical locations that actually offers a real interest rate. American Express is a good one if you don't trust the new "fintech soft banks". Alternatively you can also open a brokerage (investing) account (DO NOT enable options trading!) and put your money in a money market fund, it's basically a savings account with the actual Federal Funds Rate, it's not a stonk or bond so line CANNOT go down. Probably wouldn't matter for a relatively small and short term saving, like a rifle, but it makes a difference when you start saving more.

How to build a budget, yet incredible URGI upper. Catch the G$ blem and BF sales, plus sales on USGI contractors. 4th of July, Mem Day, BF are times to buy. Will take you a year, but could probably piece together an incredible URGI for about $800.

Good video. I agree with everything you said with one caveat. If a person doesn’t have anything and they need something, they can get lightly used LEO trade in G22’s for $275. Buy the G22, a holster, and 3 mags. Then save money for the good stuff other than ammo for practicing with the Glock. I’ve been on both sides of the situation in life. Had a safe full of everything in the past and now I’m thinning down to Glock and HK (thinning my CZ collection which is bittersweet but turning that to Glock & HK parts). I resisted the Glock for YEARS but now admit that they serve a purpose. PSA AR uppers can be had on close out for $150 then tested out and gifted to family for Christmas to get by if they can’t afford anything, and everyone should have something these day’s, then they should start saving for the good stuff. As you said, buy once, cry once. It pained me to pay the price I did for my 3 quality AR’s but it is worth it. Good video.

The 11.5 URGI that replaced it came with barrel feed ramps extremely proud of the receiver ramps, an off center gas tube hole and a chamber so short, rounds would barely chamber and extract and when they did, projectiles were absolutely mangled.

I just ordered my first suppressor. I talked to a bunch of people who own really high end shit(including 110 SASS actual), I was gonna buy an RC2 but everyone I talked to who has a bunch of cans said to get the OCL Polonium K so that's what I got. I still plan to get an RC2 eventually tbh, I just like how it looks aesthetically. BUT, I got a question. Hypothetically--money is no issue and you can only have one--KAC SR15 upper or Geissele URGI, which would you go with? I've been using Geissele stuff for like 10 years now but have never owned one of their uppers. I could order one right now but my cash isn't burning a hole in my pocket. I have a couple high quality uppers that I put together myself using Criterion barrels that I'm enjoying plus a DD Block 2-ish clone that I enjoy although in retrospect I kinda wish I would've gone with the URGI instead. I also have a few BCMs that I like. Oh well. So anyway, KAC SR15 or URGI?
@navyman8903

URGI for me. Parts are easier to source and the performance between the two is so close. To include how soft they both shoot. The fit/finish is also nicer out of the Geissele factory vs KAC. I've never had a Knights that wasn't scratched out of the box.

The Geissele barrels are on par with the DD barrels, but use a more efficient gas port size (smoother, usually .01 smaller).
