*laughs* not much boom but we had a good fuzz there all right fellas so this is the Fims
Firearms FMR we got to hang out with him at Shot Show and go check out the video of their straight
pull Bullpup it's kind of interesting and uh maybe we'll get it on here later but anyway you
you may be used to me covering the cheap ARS we've covered a couple PSA ones and that kind
of mess and it's great for every man for the everyday type but if you're looking for an
investment AR that's just like top end top of the line top quality Gucci style you gotta check this
thing out well Fims Firearms they make a lot of Aerospace parts and so they're all about
the quality so they've chosen real Quality Parts as well they've got their own muzzle break here
this is their ambidextrous charging handle most everything except the furniture's there and the
barrel so they chose to make this with a Criterion Barrel this is a 223 wild if you're not familiar
with that it's like oh do I get five five six or do I get two two three no what you do is you get
two two three wild because then uh it's the best of both worlds and you don't sacrifice accuracy
now you can probably make an entire video just on the barrel itself but I'll tell you the highlights
is the accuracy of the Chrome lined and a lot of times you may be used to mil spec or some sort of
trash wear Chrome line Barrel might mean you're sacrificing accuracy even though you get a lot
of durability out of it well Criterion found a way to use Chrome line barrels but still have
like match grade accuracy so that's what we have in this it's also supposed to have a tuned gas
Port so we can use it suppressed and unsuppressed we'll figure that out later the heart of soul for
a rifle for me is the trigger because that's your shooter inner face most manufacturers
throw us mil-spec trigger in to save costs drop the price down a couple hundred bucks and say oh
you're going to pick what you want anyway films did the homework for you and this has a trigger
Tech trigger in it well there's actually several you can choose from this is just their base model
FMR that I'm going over but it's got a half pound take up so it's two stage half pound
take up and a three and a half pound break so really nice a really nice quick reset we'll go
ahead and so so there's your take up hardly much and there's not much take up at all and then our
nice break you're not going to see any creep And Then There It Is We're going to cycle and this
is the take up for the reset is just right there and so you can be accurate and then you can also
be very fast on your splits they have their own ambidextrous 45 degree throw lever everyone when
they pick this up is like oh yeah I like that why have we been doing 90 degrees you got the
fems bulk carrier group and then the receiver set is really something in itself where you're used
to oh I buy a cheap AR Lower or by upper I slap them together it may rattle but it goes bang,
not Fims is not gonna rattle because what they do is they have their own process where they
hand fit every upper and re and lower set so when even if you just wanted to buy the set you can do
that from them and they're going to hand fit them press them they undersize the holes and
then they make it so it's a married match set so it's just a great rifle in that way you're going
to have more accuracy and more quality they're not using some shims and screws like I've seen
other manufacturers do because this is their MLOK handrail the only thing different about
it is is it has kind of this cut to lighten it and then their mid-length gas tube uh I tell
you with that coupled with that muzzle break it's just a nice soft shooter the first thing
I did when I was zeroing it was like oh my gosh the rifle didn't move at all but a lot of these
parts you can upgrade to Titanium you can build your own rifle on their website and so if you
wanted titanium muzzle brake and gas block bolt carrier group you can do that to save some weight
off and then bragging rights too when I just pulled it out of the case in the first place
though I'm just like you handle it and it's like yeah that's quality from the flared Magwell the
custom fit Cuts were they call it low drag but even your takedown pins blend into the rifle
they're not these knobby mil-spec pins it's like you didn't even know it was there just because it
Blends into the natural billets of the rifle this came with a B5 stock on the rear which is really
one of my favorites good cheek weld but they also have their Fims dog leg stock which you'll
have to go check it out there too because it's also neat to just just see their design double
staked castle nut here enough talking let's start shooting we're going out there at 100
all right so it's such a soft shooter you do have the muzzle break doing its
job but let's see what it does pistol style we'll just shoot into the dirt
I guess I limp wristed it a little there let's try it one-handed now the ATF is going to say oh
foreign so that's me holding it as lightly as possible and you see a little bit of movement
but so little that when I put my body behind it let's let's try firing some fast ones now
it's fun okay smooth shooting ARS are a lot of fun to shoot so what we're going to do now is
more just personal experiment because this isn't really technical but I want to see just because
that trigger's cool I'm going to see what kind of splits I can get we're shooting at the berm
at 50 yards and then we'll compare it in a second foreign one two point one three point one four so
so that's that's decent splits there let's see with another one this is a Radian oh can I load
on camera anymore YouTube nothing happened this is a radiant that I got from crimson trace a while
back at an event let's I don't know what kind of trigger it has but it's kind of Gucci let's see
I cannot run that as fast because it's it's too heavy and too much travel one seven one nine one
seven that's almost embarrassing is compared to the one three of this so a little more fun
one's over
[Applause]
what we did is we topped off this uh with the emiopta Optica six so it goes to 30X so
now we can really see how we're doing on accuracy we have the Black Hill 69 grain
ammo and you know earlier I was like man I'm just gonna like blast shoot down a tree with
this thing I was like well no I don't want to hurt that Barrel because but then I'm like wait
a minute a Criterion Barrel the Chrome line you're not going to hurt it it's rated for 20
000 rounds that's an insane Barrel life so say you're shooting 50 cents a pop ammo that's going
to be ten thousand dollars worth of ammo before you need a new Barrel this is a gun that would
last you a lifetime and then even your kids and grandkids so we got a 200 yard Target down there
and we painted it so we have a little bit of a aiming point see what kind of group we get
all right let's drop the little low left but we're still going to send it
all right except for that first one they're all nice and a nice little groove right there so my
cameraman reminded me that I did lose count when I shot but that's okay because I don't know what
the mess was this I guess it was me no Top Shot today but if I lost count and really shot six then
we can count these as our five round group y'all forgive me for that right because at 200 yards
that makes it one and a half inches that's pretty good for uh 200 yards so that's why we're hitting
those Firebirds out to 260 just fine that's pretty neat with just a regular eight not a regular AR
but the AR 16 inch barrel but nice Gucci build before we forward everything up we want to see
how it suppresses what we're going to do is gauge the ejection pattern five rounds each a couple
different suppressors and uh but of course we start with our control test with the muzzle brake
all right brass fell right at the feet of the cameraman
the brass almost went to the exams the same spot but hold open suppresses well now we
have the Griffin dual lock it should have a little more blowback foreign
yes it did but it still ran still bolt hold open maybe a little more violent push but our brass
went totally that way to about two o'clock rather than you know over here at four and five o'clock
about the same as the Dual-lok I did feel I felt the back pressure it definitely felt
like more recoil rifle still ran though now we have the ab Raptor 762 tin rib the point
of this is more volume we think we'll give it a little less uh less kickback
foreign [Applause] as the other two so but it still ran well so with the uh with the factory
condition with that muzzle brake hit the same as the OSS but we all know not oss the socks works
now but that is known as a flow through less blowback suppressor the others kick forward
like a you know a system that is a little more gassed could just increase your reliability and
dirty ammo but the point here is it's still ran fine and operated the the main thing I look for
is uh that's your bolt hold open works on an empty magazine because if you're really kicking too much
into your AR they get that bolt over speed it over speeds so fast it will skip over your mag catch
before it even has a chance to catch the bolt but point is it worked well that's what we have for
the Fims Firearms FMR and here's my point of why I like it as just one of the top Gucci Brands you
know they're not one of those large companies that spend a ton of money on marketing we're you're
buying a name brand when you buy from a smaller company that makes high-end stuff you're actually
getting more for your buck in the terms of quality and Fims Manufacturing they've been doing it
family business since like 1950s so or maybe the 60s it's like 50 years or so so that's why I think
it's kind of a Hidden Gem of the gun industry space models start I think is around twenty three
hundred dollars and you can add on like all your fancy titanium stuff and all from there but it's
going to be an heirloom you know just top-notch rifle that yes I would take into battle one of
those that you know that's always going to work and of course they're going to warranty anything
as well so you can check them out thanks for watching today guys okay I love you bye
did you see that I came in like a wrecking ball
