how's it going guys welcome back to the pilot patriot channel today we're going to be talking
about this beautiful rifle that's sitting here in front of me this is the error precision m5 e1 and
308 this is my first ar-10 and i really enjoyed building this thing i really wish i could show
you guys the build process but obviously youtube doesn't like that kind of thing
so today we're just going to go over the features and all the accessories that i have on here
and we'll probably throw in a little bit of shooting footage to some of my first shots
out of this rifle so if you like this kind of video guys make sure you hit that subscribe
button down below hit that notification bell so you get notified every time we upload new videos
and give us a thumbs up we really appreciate that like i said guys this is the error precision m5e1
and all the guts and the main components of this gun are error precision obviously i do
have some other accessories on here that we are going to talk about now let's start off with the
receiver set what makes the m5e1 different from their standard m5 is that it has a proprietary
extension here on the front of the upper receiver that matches up perfectly with the hand guard
which makes it a true free float barrel because none of this actually interfaces with the barrel
it all mounts on that extension from the upper receiver and that's just going to lend itself
to a little bit more precision accuracy the receiver is 7075 t6 aluminum and it's going
to accept standard ar 308 components it is the dpms style platform now the next thing you're
going to notice is we do have the 20 inch barrel on here and that's going to have a 1 in 10 twist
and it's the uh 4150 chrome molle black barrel they do also offer the barrel and stainless steel
if you're into that kind of thing i just really love the look of that all black it's going to
have a low profile gas block and a rifle length gas system obviously this is a 15 inch hand guard
you can see there's a lot of relief cuts in there to reduce as much weight as possible it also has
a bunch of relief cuts here on that top rail and this really is actually a very comfortable hand
guard i really like the design of it i think it looks really cool you also see it has the m lock
slots in there i really like that another thing you're going to notice here is we do have the
magpul bipod i actually really like this bipod i wasn't quite sure how i was going to feel about it
but it is really nice it has a lot of cool features obviously it is going to
fold up out of the way just by pushing these buttons here also it has quite a bit of
range for extension there you can see how far those will extend there and the inside frame of
this thing is metal but these extension pieces are uh polymer this bipod does that have the ability
to pivot it also has the ability to tilt no matter what position you're in you can really dial that
thing in and get it straight so so far i'm a big fan of that next thing you see here is the bolt
i did go with the nickel boron bolt from aero precision and the ambidextrous charging handle
from error precision it really has some nice big latches on here and it is ambidextrous so you
can charge it from either side went with just the standard moe grip from magpul and the next thing
that i really love is this prs stock from magpul now if you're building a precision rifle there
are a lot of cheaper options out there that try to accomplish the same thing that this stock does but
really the magpul prs is the best one out there you can see that it does have an adjustable length
of pull back here it also has an adjustable cheek weld and you're just going to adjust that with
these dials here on the side it also has qd sling attachment points and that butt pad is actually
really nice and comfortable it's pretty squishy so that'll help mitigate some of that 308 recoil
if you're used to shooting standard ar-15 the 308 is obviously going to recoil more
but this platform in itself is really going to kind of tone down a lot of that recoil anyway
now this is not a very light rifle completely built out as it is with an empty magazine
it's right around 13 pounds which for 308 i don't think is bad at all but compared to some
of your lightweight ar-15s like this one behind me that's that it's only five pounds it is a big
difference uh this is a precision rifle i didn't necessarily go for the lightest components and
things like that a little extra weight is fine especially for precision long range shooting
it's actually going to help stabilize the rifle a little bit so no big issues there next thing i
have in here that i'm really a big fan of is the geisley g2s trigger huge fan of that trigger i
have it on several of my rifles and if you're not familiar with the g2s it's really kind of
their budget version of the ssa trigger we'll go ahead and put the lyman scale on this thing
this is a two-stage trigger i'm just going to show you guys that trigger pull here real quick
it does have just a little bit of take up there not much at all then you're gonna hit that wall
and just a little bit more and nice clean break there now here's the reset right there very short
nice tactile audible reset and then just a tiny bit more take up there and there she goes very
nice feeling trigger we're just gonna put our lineman scale on here real quick and weigh that
three pounds seven ounces
two pounds thirteen point eight ounces
3 pounds 0.9 ounces it is a really nice trigger especially for the money at 160 bucks it's really
a great option there from geisley down here on the end of the barrel is the vg6 epsilon muzzle brake
it's kind of a combination muzzle device it's kind of the best of all three worlds it's a break it's
a compensator and it does have these fins on the end that do a fairly decent job of flash hiding
and it does exactly what it's supposed to do so really a big fan of that it's the vg6 epsilon
and last but not least is this scope this is the 3 to 18 by 50 acss hood dmr scope
from primary arms and i love this thing some of you guys might be familiar with their 4 to 14 this
is just a step up from that retail price for this bad boy is around 450 470 somewhere around there
but i'm a really big fan of this thing i am going to be doing a full review of this so
i'm not going to go over it completely but we will get in here and take a closer look at it
it is just a beautiful scope nice big turrets on there it does have the option there to
lock down your zero point back here on the magnification adjustment you can see it does have
a little nub there that just makes it a little easier to make those magnification adjustments
you can see i do have a bubble level on here that's from vortex it does come standard with
flip up scope caps which is cool as far as the mount here that's also from primary arms
it's just their standard scope mount it does not come standard with the sun shade on it
but you can't add that it's a very cheap addition and it really does its job
all right here's our target there's our first few shots while we're trying to get the
scope dialed in
that's a nice group there about an inch maybe inch and a quarter there
maybe another inch and a quarter inch and a half there not bad at all
all right guys that is my era precision m5e1 in 308 i love this thing uh it is really just
a beast of a rifle like i said this is my first ar-10 and just everything about this
beside one of my other ar-15s is just beefy i love that it shoots great and i really just
can't say enough good things about it if you guys are interested in any of the accessories
that i have on here make sure you check out the links in the description below i'm a link to
