I cant have suppressors here in NY, so I run a 20 inch AR. I know that sounds absurd with all the modern "rules" for cqb... but I cleared buildings in the middle east with a 20 inch barrel, and its what I know. 20 inches reduces muzzle flash and recoil to a comical degree when compared to a shorter barrel... and that 20 inches also means that green tip can penetrate level 3 body armor. I figure Im better off using the platform I know, especially if it makes everything but level 4 armor a nonissue.
Level 3+ green tip rated plates are becoming pretty common as an alternative to lvl 3 standard plates. But longer barrels definitely work just fine. A2 buffers and rifle gas run like butter. Shorter barrels are just trendy the last several years, not entirely without good reason, but the longer barrels are under appreciated.

If you dont like the sponginess of the braces, you can take those 2 pieces at the bottom and fold them up into the brace and re velcro. Makes a big difference!
thanks for showing off your build, just been doing a lot of research on what i want to do for my first build and it looks like BCM upper + aero lower with some radian/larue/geissele goods is the move 😮💨
You are 100% correct on the optic statement. Which is why I titled this video the “almost” perfect home defense set up.. lol if only my EoTech had a wake feature… it would be perfect to me…because I absolutely LOVE the site picture of the Eotech.. but unfortunately, I still have to turn it on by pressing a button. Thanks for the response! 👍🏽
@dunlap_datass look into the Romeo 8T if you want a similar sight picture while having the shake awake (and a battery that will corrode away before it dies lmao)
Somewhat similar to the build I’m working on now. No cans in my state though, and I am going the SBR route. Still debating if I should do an eotech magnifier on a Unity mount. Probably won’t be able to do that and also fit a rear sight. Haven’t tried yet though.
Ironically I bassicly have the same setup with the exps2 h2 super 42 m4e1 with aero enhanced handguard and upper with the geissle SSP and loving it great build love the passion you have behind it
I have the BCM BFH 14.5. I love the upper but not going to lie, I’m having issues with the lower seating different magazines and an issue with reloading. I should have got an Aero lower. Love the upper tho. You have a nice setup.
Nice 👍🏽 the 14.5 is a nice upper. I’m not sure why your mags arnt seating sometimes..I only use MAGPUL mags and the steel mag that came with my other bcm recce 16. I know exactly what your talking about tho. Cuz I’ve heard of that issue before.
Do you have to slam your mag in that lower? I have an arrow Precision lower that hates pmags and I don't know why I don't have this issue with any of my other lowers I do have the same exact pistol and quotation marks this guy has I'm just wondering if my BCM doesn't quite fit on the Aero lower
@@samuelfuentes3955Could be tolerance stacking each company has their own tolerances obviously but aero tends to be very tight tolerances I exclusively use their M4E1 lowers and they are very tight on one I have with a PSA upper (Budget Gun) little bit tight on a bushmaster upper but on my aero uppers it’s perfect which makes sense
Thank you for sharing your video. I have several BCM 11.5 & 12.5” uppers also 3 BCM 14.5” SOCOM heavy barrel uppers. FYI…..I messaged BCM about what buffers to use for my uppers and they recommended H2 for the 11.5 & 12.5 with carbine springs and H for 14.5” Just thought I’d share their recommendations
So the design purpose of this build was that the back up iron sites are only to be used If my primary optic fails.. since my primary optic is on a quick detach, It comes off super quick and easy then I’m able to use those back up iron sights because those back up iron sights reach over the riser. To answer your question more simply..no.. the iron sights are not co-witness through the optic when on the riser, but it wasn’t designed to be on this specific build. The back up iron sites are there and ready to be used if the primary optic completely fails. Hope this answers your question.
Can u explain why you put a law tactical folder on a home defense gun? Just curious cuz id assume you wanted as light as possible and when would you ever need to fold a home defense gun?
Yeah good question, so I have this in my home and I carry it in my truck. The folding stock is really convenient in my truck because it can collapse and fit under my rear seat cushion.
Black Hills 62 gr dual purpose. These are hollow points. Not ideal for long range.. but these thrive at short range with shorter barrels 16” and under. Also has good expansion that why your not ripping through flesh through the walls.
Man that’s a hard question, I wanna say they restock every two or three weeks or so. Just keep an eye out and sign up for restock notifications. That’s what I had to do.
How is running the Surefire warcomp with a suppressor? I have a 14.5 Bcm with the warcomp and ppl are telling me it shouldn’t be suppressed! Also nice build, I’m thinking about doing a Bcm 11.5 or Dd 11.5.
Only reason why I got the Warcomp was to suppress my weapon. The Warcomp is the adapter for the suppressor so why wouldn’t it have the option to suppress. They are saying that because of the ported holes on the Warcomp but that’s their incase you just want to run muzzle device only and still have the ported comp work in your favor. The Warcomp is flash hider and compensator combo so it works well.. but the option is still their if you want to throw a suppressor on it which I do because it’s much more quiet and the extra weight of the can really keeps the recoil flat. Surefire wouldn’t make a muzzle device to not be recommended to suppress but then still make it so that it can be suppressed. Lol hope this helps. Some people just over think things and become nay sayers.
@@Redeemed_Team that’s exactly what I wanted to hear from someone with actual experience! Thanks to you I am now in the market for a suppressor 😁 subbed!
I use it for the field of view and the durability and the reticle. Yes, turning it on is an extra step, but it doesn’t really have a huge effect for me.
11.5 for home defense. More compact package. Although the ballistics of the 12.5 is slightly better, you won’t notice any difference close to mid range. The shorter barrel will be much more maneuverable and slightly lighter. If you plan on only having 1 rifle then get the 12.5 because it will be a well balanced option.. still very manageable close range in the home and better ballistics for longer range. I already had my 16 inch rifle for long range so I went with the 11.5 for my HD and truck gun. Hope this helps. God bless.
Nice, I hope you're diligently working towards acquiring a few more things for owning the night as well as long as you've got your TTTPs down and scrim enough with your Tarkov squad so everyone is proficient with their part minding their leg work. You can't look cool and peacock for hoes screwing up priorities and end up a rich pile for assholes f-ing up soloing in a team game or charlie horsing in a dance because basic leg/proper moves aren't reflex or something as retarded like dying from a fart because you didn't use your IFAK when you should've...and we all wanna look cool.

What about the ammo you run through that gun for home defense?
