guys we're out here right now at site b and paul and i have been shooting a bunch of content
having some fun shooting night vision in fact most of our shooting was happening at night
the last couple evenings but i also saw on paul's youtube channel that he had recently
done a video on the rifle that he is holding and so i wanted to do a mark 18 video on ta because
we've never talked about our 10 3 10 5 builds so i figured it was just a good opportunity for
us to have a really chill video and go over our setups and obviously they're mark 18 ish
so if you hate us and think that we shouldn't be talking about this you should probably comment
and i feel like we'll troll them back i feel like i might jump in the comments and get spicy
as well so they make a different username i don't think we should advertise it we might
get in the comments there with you but paul why don't you give everybody a rundown of your rifle
and then just right away give them the why behind what you did so the why this rifle i set up for
home defense all right this is my bedside rifle this is also my dedicated night vision
night fighter if you will rifle all right so the way it's set up is obviously a short
10-5 technically not a 10-3 and i know all you cloners out there are freaking out
but this rifle will do everything that your cloner dd mark 18 will do if not better
all right so unfortunately that is what it is and i will say it but this is what i'm gonna defend my
life with and my family's life just night vision training in general if i ever have to actually
use my night vision and night vision setup this is the rifle that i'm gonna use and it's pretty
much ready to rock all the time it's been very reliable and i'm really happy with it and it's
honestly besides the gucci optics lasers and lights and suppressors it's really not expensive
the internals are all pretty much aero or bliste advantage so nice so as far as front to back
what kind of parts do you have thrown on this this guy here yeah so uh tip here is the surefire socom
this is the sb2 it's not the rc2 this is the one made for shorter barrels i think 10 inch and below
but it does literally the same thing um surefire m600df with a tail cap that i can actually use
if my pressure pads that are actually mod light buttons here the mod buttons that are attached to
uh rear for my pack that's why i have it brown all right so that's why i have that
and then black for my weapon light full power peck daniel defense mark 18 rail the reason i went with
this rail is uh it's really sturdy it's really heavy it does really well you know keeping laser
zeroed and having a lot of stuff mounted on them so that's why i went with it also i really like
quad rails and personally i think the mark 18 rail from uh daniel defense the wrist two rail is is
really sexy and overall i just i love quad rails uh knights armament broomstick grip here i've got
a aimpoint t2 on a scalar works 193 mount i have a aero bolt i have a ballistic advantage upper
i have a aero precision lower i have an american trigger ar gold flat face really really like that
trigger magpul rear sights radian sd all right so that's the ones with the little holes in it helps
with the gases and whatnot law folder of course because why not running your standard 90 degree
just ar m16 style safety selectors b5 or excuse me this is the magpul xl grip and then obviously my
favorite stock i have them on all my rifles it's a must for me as the magpul strs i believe not
the ctr it might be the str pretty sure it's the str um t-rex arm sling and that's it i mean it's
super simple it's not too heavy not too light it gets the job done every time and i really really
like it also i wanted to mention i have a bliss advantage 10 5 not 10 3 barrel so it's sick love
this rifle it's also a cool rifle for photos yeah because that matters the points for the the looks
matter a little bit that's why we have fde on some of these guns but i'll give a rundown of my build
this is a 10.3 inch it started out as a geissele i believe they call them their super duty
upper 10.3 upper so the rail upper receiver the original bolts and the barrel came from geisley
but i had some modifications done to this i put a superlative arms piston kit on this the reason
why is ten threes ten fives can be pretty gassy depending on how you run them you run a can they
can get very gassy no doubt probably why you ran that charging handle because you're getting blown
back in your face all the time so it can be a pain in the butt when you're running a very short
5.56 because of that the superlative arms piston kit i also dialed in so i can run it suppressed
unsuppressed i don't really have to think about it and that's that's the key here so if you watch my
videos suppressed with this it is over gassed a little bit and that's because i found a setting
on the piston kit that allows me to run properly without the suppressor and then it's just a little
bit gassy with it got a silencerco omega 30 calcan full size cloud defensive rain light over here
this little guy on the top is the tlr vir2 which is a pretty sick little flood laser it's a citizen
legal consumer legal whatever you want to call it laser these are meant really for pistols but if
you're on a budget this is a pretty solid option got the cloud defensive pressure pad here a lot of
people ask why i have a pick rail on the bottom on this mlock slot and the reason is because we
go hunting in multiple states with these rigs so we strap them into tripods and when i'm hunting
hiking around whatever i like to have a very compact potent little caliber and this is perfect
in that regard it's also why i have the vortex uh-1 gen2 this is night vision compatible as
well so i can run it as passive aiming if i want to but i don't really i run the tlr for that
have the 3x magnifier because if i have a fox or a coyote or something hung up you can just get a
little bit of magnification to make a shot got the geisley charging handle on this as well as
law folder we're running an sba 3 brace blue force gear sling which is just a sling i run
these i don't have a preference really that this is my go-to sling it's just way back in the day i
bought a bunch of these things random whatever they work my favorite trigger ever that i've
found to date is the geissele sde trigger and my second favorite's the sdc which is their super
dynamic combat that's more like a cleaner mil spec i like that one if i'm training on the range if i
need to take a hunting shot i really do like that trigger aero precision lower and i built this gun
pretty much for the same reasons you said this is a home defense gun this is something that
if i need to use my night vision i can if i need to go hunting or hiking or whatever this
fits in a backpack it's very concealable it's compact and it is accurate it is a nice platform
that's pretty much it at the end of the day like these are the 10 threes i think are
probably the perfect length for a backpack the one thing i will say is back in the day
i was very hesitant to go with a short 556. i always ran 300 blackouts because i chrono
all of my guns before i zero them i put them into a ballistics calculator do all that stuff
so 10 3s you scrub a lot of velocity but at the same time with modern bullets modern ammo
we've put a lot of critters in the dirt with these guns and it's devastating so i
have no issues whatsoever having this up in my bedroom doing something like that yeah short guns
like this have also put a lot of humans in the ground too so they work all right don't get so
hung up that you need a 14.5 or it needs to be a 13.9 pin and welded suppressed and it's not going
to do what i needed to do at 227 yards it will do what you needed to do awesome simple video guys
hope that it gave you a little bit of information you've seen these guns in content no doubt just
wanted to give you a rundown of them so guys we appreciate you tuning in check us out in the next
