Let's do the things my dude. It's time for the PSA M110 we have at home to shine, to show its
quality. Quality you say? The best, Henry, the best. Come on. Right? Yeah, I'm on at 150.
Yes, sir. Okay, 200. All right, 200. Impact and impact just right of center. Okay.
Gotta say, this is definitely not a pleasant recoiling rifle, but it has not jammed.
All right. These are, these are measures of success, Henry. Yes. All right, 250. 250.
Dead center chest. All right. No, I'm honestly not sure about that second shot. I mean,
obviously it was a hit. Yeah. I don't know where it was. I mean,
175 grains of fury going down range. All right. 300. 300.
Impact. Impact. I mean, is this distance really necessary for 308?
Uh, I mean, official answer, no.
Hitting something with a large frame gas gun, like inside of 300 is pretty ruthless.
Yep. All right. I'm at 350. All right. Impact. Did you know what the elevation looked like?
I think it was just like really good. Just over center.
Yep. Okay. Solid hits. Basically center. Just high. Just highest center by, you know,
whatever the answer to. 1.5. All righty, sir. Things are going smooth so far. Yes. I'm on it
for. Okay. Yep. Yep. Just as good as Josh's $5,000 AR-10. Stop it, Henry. Stop it. I'm on it
for 450. Okay. Let's see. So that one was about 1.8, I think. Yeah. Okay. I think you're probably
in the low, like you were below center. Ah, so that's 2.0 then. I think 2.0 is a good call for
that. Yeah. Okay. Probably about 2.5 here, you think? Yeah. I'm going to put the,
basically I'm going to put the two on the head. Okay. Sounds good. I'm there for it.
Hold. Yep. That was in the upper chest, almost at the neckline. I would go neck hold here for
your second shot. Oh no. Oh no. Windage. Flash off the right. Press left half target. Impact.
We did get it. That was tough because your windage on the shot right before it.
It was on, right? I mean, it was an inch right of center. I shouldn't have been blade running
and sticking the two at the head, to be honest. All right. 500. Let's see.
All right. 3.0, a little bit left.
Press to the left edge. That impact was on the right edge.
Impact. Solid hit, upper chest. All right. So we're at 500 for the next cartridge,
for the next ones we have. These are single shot hits, right? That's right. DMR course,
dial, sir. Okay. The next target is at 625.
4.5 is what I have. Oh, 4.5. Got it. Yep. Okay. I'm actually going to dial this one now.
All right. Yeah. 4.5. Dial up 4.5. And I'm going to hold what? 0.5 to the left.
I'm ready. Fire when ready. Impact. Nine o'clock on the plate. All right. Do you want another one?
I mean, I'm good. Okay. We're doing DMR course, right? Yes. I have it dialed in at five mils.
Hold off 0.5 to the left. Ready? Yeah. I'd ease your hold. Okay. Hold, hold, hold, hold, hold.
Wind shift. Okay. Right to left now. Okay. I'm going to hold dead on. I'm trying to see if
there's anything like a wind channel further out. I mean, okay. It looks like a headwind. Oh no,
you're right. Hold dead on. Engage. Low? No. Impact, sir. Impact. Okay. There's no flex on
that plate. No, that bird is a stout old girl. Very stoic. Stoic. Gets drilled with 175 grains
and just takes it. Yeah. As they say, the trad bird. Ben Franklin was onto something. Okay.
All right. I have us on at 835. Okay.
Um, what do we think for mil call on this? Around eight? Eight. Sounds good. I'll drop eight.
Oh, just over the top. Oh, I see. I see it. Ready? Yep. Impact. Solid hit. Very nice. Very
bad. Sir, the PSA 110. How does it come?
Little tight. Well, A, first of all, I'm not sure why you're unloading because we know that if we
had a run like that, I'm going to force you to shoot a further target even if you don't have
the dope for it yet. Okay. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. But to be honest,
like, dude, pretty solid work there. Yeah. Honestly. Okay. So the more I shoot the PSA 110,
the more I think it's actually a really good training rifle for the gas guns. Yep. I would
agree, especially at the price point. That's something we should talk about a bit more here.
I will say that if you use it as a training rifle and you don't need to clone anything,
the stock, my, the first thing I would get rid of is a stock. This is basically,
this is basically a, I mean, it's even a plastic
butt plate too. So it's not even like the, the top shelf M 16 stocks. It's super lightweight.
So you feel everything. There's no cheek adjustment. Feel the pain, Henry. Yeah. Well,
with that said, I'm going to make you shoot again. See that white glowing square for the
backs furthest to the left behind the eight 35 target. Yep. That's nine 11.
What about about a nine and a half holes? You think? Okay. Let's try nine half. Cause you were
what? Just under eight at the last one. Yep. No, just eight. You were at eight. Yep. But it's
splashed high, right? Yes. Yeah. So maybe just an eight basehold. So maybe this is nine and a half
basehold ish. Okay. Let me try it. Ready? Yeah. I'm there. Nine half basehold, zero hold off on
good elevation. Splash was a full target length to the left,
which makes sense. We just got a full right to left wind here. Press right. One full target
re-engage. Oh, that's the curse of the AR 10. No, did it? Yeah. Jam fest. Yes. Schmuckers.
The ham in French, by the way, back in the fight, back in the fight. That's all it took.
Ready? Yep. So you're, you're pressing right here. Yeah. So the wind calls completely
fucking off now. Thanks. Yeah. When, when's a little bit slower, I'd go at least off the
right a bit here. Okay. Half a target off the right. So 0.5 mils to the right basehold engage.
Oh no. Is that right about where you held? No. Well, uh, the windage is basically now zeroed out.
Splash just low on the left edge. Impact, impact, impact, impact. All right. You want
a confirmation on that or you want to just move to the thousand? No, we're just going to go right
to a thousand, my boy. Okay. Right side target. Yep. Right side target. 11.5 right edge. Ready?
Fire when ready. That was way high. Do you think it splashed and skipped up there? That was like
way high. I didn't do another one. See what it is. Yeah. Way high. Way high. Okay. So almost
see how it does. Ready? Yeah. Oh, splash low on the right.
Impact. Nice. Dude, the PSA. Out to a thousand. It's a, it is a thousand yard gun. Yeah. Pretty
much just as good. I mean the misses, the misses that we had on those right there are really just
us figuring out the dope on it, right? Yeah. Yeah. It's just figuring out the dope. So let's
not count those just as good. So Henry, you were talking about how this is a probably like a
quote unquote trainer when it comes to the large frame gas gun platform. I would agree wholeheartedly
like for the price point that these come in at when you compare them to how much a full fledged
actual gas gun goes for. Now granted there were a bunch of different, there were a bunch of
different manufacturers at varying price points. Yes. But this is, this is on the very low end of
that spectrum. 15. Yeah. So the, I think one hilarious thing that I was talking to Josh about
was the prospect of, ah, should I use this barrel? Should I put this barrel on it? Should I put the
suppressor on it? And Josh brought up that if the barrel does get shot out, it's actually cheaper
to just buy another one. Well, it wasn't just if the barrel got shot out, it was like, yeah,
I'm not sure about the durability of the platform. Like I'm not sure about all these other factors.
Yeah. I mean, if it, if it 5,000 rounds of match ammo later, if it dies and because the gas system
gets blown out or something like has a catastrophic failure of some sort, like you can just get a
different one. Like if you've shot several thousand rounds of match ammo, like, I mean, that's where
the real money is. Yeah. So, I mean, I think, I think a lot of times we get sucked into this idea
of I'm going to build this into the ultimate that, but the concept of a training rifle is
not necessarily a disposable rifle, but a rifle that you wouldn't, it wouldn't break your heart
if you wore it down. And the real value you get from that is the experience gathered from
shooting it. That's right. Now, again, the thing that I dislike about this is how it's, it's a
little bit too light in my opinion, feeling a little bit, and, and it's not that I can't, yes,
I can shoot heavy recoiling rifles. That's not the point. Just, just isn't enjoyable to do so.
Whether it's enjoyable or more importantly, the, the, you know, being able to get back on target
for either re-engagement or observe your, your own, spot your own hits or misses. And that's
important. So it depends. I mean, the, the one, the thing that it kind of, it falls in the bucket
on is that it's also kind of a clone-ish, like it's, it's cloning the form factor of a, an M110,
which we have shot on the channel, but it's been a long time ago. And I believe this actually
outperformed the M110. I mean, I mean, Henry, I think we could probably shoot anything we shot
back in the day when we first started shooting together on the show and probably do materially
better. So Josh, what I'm trying to say is that must mean that it is just as good. Yes, just as
good. Let's talk more about the concept of the training rifle over in the debrief. I am trying
to deliberately hurt Josh. Well, hello there. You must have caught us at the Battalion Field
Headquarters as we were about to break for lunch. We're trying to not have the MREs. I hear the boys
in the field are quite fond of them. I hope you're enjoying the show thus far. Shows like this,
they're brought to you by Slicked Black Industries. And more importantly, we have the support from
the patrons of Patreon and Utreon. That's true. This group of men and women, they support us
intellectually, financially, but most importantly, emotionally. So today, I'd like to invite you.
Come, join us, become one of us. Together, we could plan to conquer the world of firearms
technology. But if you cannot, that's all right. We completely understand. We'd be just as happy
to hear from you in the comments section below. Well, without further ado, we'll leave you back
to it. That's right. It is the PSA. Great value. Just as good. M110. Obviously, it cleared the
course with only two misses. So shall we say it was AI-generated and obviously fake news? Because
we had 1.5 to 2 MOA groupings on the potential accuracy episode that we published. And the
comments section seemed to indicate that it is impossible for this rifle to shoot a torso-sized
target out at distance. And yet, shoot it. Subtorsos, dude. Subtorsos most of the way.
So shall we go to Vegas? Because we're very lucky.
I just want to reiterate. There's going to be some feelings, I think, that we heard a little
bit here, Henry. This is going to be a squashing of some misperceptions throughout this session.
And I might come on a little strong here because, frankly, I'm sort of sick of seeing the same stuff
parroted over and over and just taken as standard when, frankly, we look at this type of stuff and
we're going, we're just not seeing this to be the case at all. And when we try to say that gently,
people don't quite get the memo. Yeah, so Josh and I grew up in the gun forum world. Like you
on Enos, reading a lot about 3Gun and competition stuff. I was on the surplus forums and stuff like
that. The gun world is very good at perpetuating ideas and recycling them over and over and over
again. And the downside is if you are in an environment where it is not easily vetted,
it is not easily tested by people, then that continues to cycle. Now, we are blessed with
an environment to shoot really long distances in a pretty secluded range. We get to see all
of these theories played out actually in the field. And the trope of your rifle should be
one MOA or you need to return it or somebody did something wrong. It's just, that is just the
wrong, that's the wrong narrative. That is the wrong, wrong theory to perpetuate around. Even
for AR-15s, I would say that, but even more so for large frame ARs. Now, I would say in the past,
when we first started and we first started doing a lot of long range, barring the bolt actions,
we all thought that, yeah, it should be better than one MOA. But the more we shot,
the more we realized that this is just, that's just a really bad rule of thumb to follow.
And you know what? I think we have to emphasize that point, Henry. Like,
I thought a lot of that stuff too, which is why it's when we're actually doing it now and showing
the data and being like, look, yeah, this gun, no, this gun isn't capable of shooting sub-inch,
sorry. I mean, ours isn't, right? Like maybe another one is, but ours isn't. But you know
what? It doesn't matter because an inch and a half group size, two inch group size,
can clear C-zones out to like 700 and then sub-torso-ish targets out to like a thousand
without too much issue. And that's where I just, the perception of how accurate these
things should be or are is just, I think it's really, people have got it very wrong
in many of these areas. But the downside is they can't test it. And us as testers,
that puts us in a frustrating environment because we have to face people telling us these things,
even though we're clearly seeing two MOA rifles can clear the targets out at distance easily.
Because stand by for math here, and those out there who know what I'm talking about,
your two MOA versus one MOA at 500 yards is five versus 10 inches, which is
five inches versus 10 inches on a torso. Well within the strike area, the biggest thing is,
are you getting your wind correct? Because if you're not getting your wind correct,
it doesn't matter if it's a one MOA or two MOA rifle, right?
And even if people say that it's torso is too big of a target, you should be aiming at something
much smaller than that. It's like, that's fine. Like the C zones we're shooting at,
I think are 12 inches wide. Yep. So smaller. Yeah. Okay. It's still within the bracketing
of the target zone. It's deceptive. It looks a lot larger than it actually is.
Look, if your goal is to have a gas gun that's shooting like actual legit one inch target or
one MOA or two MOA targets at distance, because you're in some sort of a real precision gas gun
environment or game, or you're playing the sport or a match or whatever, like, yeah, that's,
that is different. But also then the type of gun and the price tag of the gun you're talking about
in those areas is radically different. So that's an area where we can't confuse these things either.
This thing all in Henry is what? 14-ish? 14, 15? Well, no, no, no. Like 14, but it comes with like
a bunch of stuff that you end up selling off. So it's, the core rifle is actually less than that.
If I go and I pick up like a JP for as a match gun or my TX10 or a Noveske or whatever else,
some of these guns that we've actually, that we've actually shot that are actually printing
large frame gassers actually printing one inch groups repeatedly or even better repeatedly.
What's the price tag of these? I mean, I don't know about your Noveske, but the SR25 is like
five to eight K and then the M1, the actual M110 is north of 10. I think it's close to like 15-ish.
And shoot. Yeah. I mean the Noveske, which that one's like four, 45.
So you're, you're looking at this, right? It's a price of the barrel of one of those things
for the whole thing, all put together. In the past, I think, and this is something that we
talked about in the past when we're looking at different rifles, one of the indications,
and this is just an indication, like, like a hunch on whether a barrel is a good premium barrel or
like a run-of-the-mill barrel, is to see the consistency of how it does across different
types of ammunition. I have, we have shot, AI is probably the best example to see some of the most
consistent barrels to be, to be shot on the course. And classic AIs, you could run it between
five different types of match ammunition and the group size is almost the same.
And then you run it with ball ammunition. In fact, my AW outshot this thing with match
ammunition with ball ammunition. But it's crazy. It's inconceivable, right? But yeah, it's crazy.
But then you think about that again, you know, the barrel for those things itself is what,
like 800-ish? That's a grand. That's almost the price. It is the price of the gun. Yeah. So,
if we're to be honest here, right, we need a little bit of expectation management. Relative
to other large frame gas rifles, relative to premium bolt action rifles, this is a small
fraction of it. However, however, does that mean that this thing cannot perform? Does that mean
that this thing cannot shoot at those distances? No, not at all. And again, I think this is an
important callout. You referenced the inconsistency. I think something that a lot of
people noted was how bad this shot the ball group in our primer episode for this. Yeah, that sucked.
That was not acceptable. It was not good. Yeah. And yes, are people going to probably buy this
and want to be able to shoot ball out of it? Yes. That was disappointing. But if you look through
any number of other videos of this rifle being shot, like a lot of them shot better with ball
ammunition than this one did. So is it, like, again, it's inconsistent. It's not to say that
all of these 110s can't shoot ball. In fact, some of the feedback we had was that, like,
150 grain hunting ammo shoots the best groups that certain people have tried out of it. So,
yeah, the point here being, yes, there's going to be inconsistencies in these, for sure. But,
on the balance, if you get one that is ultimately shooting 1.5 to 2-ish with match ammo,
that is good to go for the purpose of actually being able to shoot at range with the gun.
And that sort of transitions us, Henry, in my mind, into a next sort of viable talking point
here, which is, what is this? What is this gun? What is it actually for? Is it a clone?
Is it a lookalike? Is it, what is it? It's, I think the best way I've heard someone describe
this is a tribute rifle. Because if you're looking for a clone, as it comes out of the box,
no, just no. However, as you see, what I've done is put, like, an actual FDE A2 grip.
I switched out the safety. I, same, the original trigger, some people thought it was changed out,
but it's not. I fitted, like, CAC rail grips on it. Recently, I put a PRS stock on it, but
it could be made to resemble an M110, in a sense that one thing that I pushed myself in doing when
I was first starting in Precision Rifles is build out a trainer rifle. So, get a just-as-good copy,
get a great-value copy, get a hill-country copy of the particular rifle that I, you, very much want
to get into. And instead of spending the 8k, the 5k for an SR-25, spend PSA money to get into it,
to figure out if this is something you like or not. Now, let's put this into perspective. How
much does it cost for a case of 1,000 rounds of .175 grain Sierra Match King?
It's like $1.50-ish a round, right? It's about $1.50 a round.
Yeah. So, your SR-25, and then that case of ammunition that you'll get next, the 1,000
rounds that come in cases of 200 or 500, that 1,000 rounds that you use to shoot is worth the
same thing here. You can get the experience, you can get some time on a trainer that duplicates
some of those functions without putting down mortgage, down-payment money onto it.
That right there is a good point, Henry, that needs to be highlighted.
Within the space of guns and shooting, there were really capable, acceptable rifles in the...
I mean, across all sorts of price spectrums, but specifically, I'm talking like when you hear
$1,500 for a rifle, a lot of people, myself included, go, that must be a pretty nice rifle,
right? That must be either in the middle of the band or approaching the high end of the band in
terms of performance and status of that particular gun. It's certainly that way within the world of,
I would say, the AR-15, which is what most of us attribute our market knowledge to performance
versus cost and overall value. $1,500 on an AR, that's considered a nice AR here in 2024,
or at least better than average. When you look at large frame gas guns, especially anything that
falls into the precision variety, we're not talking like the basic AR-10 battle rifle setup,
right? We're talking precision rifle stuff, which this is cloned into or this is set up as.
Where's the general average? And we talked about this a minute ago, but it's like,
you really can't start for somewhere less than the mid twos most of the time. Maybe low twos,
maybe? And that's not even like low twos, mid twos isn't even something that is like,
oh, that's nice. That's like baseline. Yeah, right, right, right, right, right. And then
you go from there into the threes, fours, fives, and that's where you're hitting like the real,
the premium stuff. So when I think about that in context, it's like, yeah, this is on like the way
cheap end of that spectrum when you look at the spectrum in a vacuum. And that's important. You
have to look at the performance spectrum of this particular category in the value spectrum of what
you get for large frame gas guns. All right, Editor Josh here from the future. I do think
it's worth pausing here quickly to say, we're talking about the concept of this budget trainer
with the PSA 110 as the vehicle, because it's the rifle we just shot. This isn't to say that you
can't replicate the concept with the large frame gas gun of your choice, whether it be a Ruger,
an SNW, a Sig, an Arrow, whatever. If the accuracy is acceptable, any of these can be configured to
work in this function. This isn't something the PSA is uniquely suited to do over all others,
but it is ultimately where we see the PSA best fitting in a shooter's lineup. Okay, back to
the debrief. So, I mean, it all comes down to being honest with yourself, right? What are you
trying to do with it? Like, are you trying to go to war with it? I would highly, I would strongly
suggest you not take this into war. Are you trying to get some experience on the rifle? Yeah.
Like, are you trying to clone the M110? You would probably be disappointed because there are
certain things on it that are just passionately different. Like, one of the biggest things that
people gripe about is this trigger guard. From afar away, you can see that it looks clearly different,
right? So, I don't, it's difficult to say that it's a clone rifle from form factor,
but also from the performance factor. Like, some of the things that the M110 has, you
outright just don't need. You don't need the sand cutter bolt, you don't need the
the double plunger to push the cartridges out easier. Like, do you need, if you're a suburban
person, right? Would you buy a Forerunner or would you try to find an MRAP and make it street legal?
Both of them can transport people. You could very well put a child seat in the back of an MRAP.
But do you need the fire suppression system? Do you need the ballistic windows? Do you need the
crow turret system on top? Probably not. But would you, I mean, maybe a Forerunner you can take to
do recon stuff, but a minivan, would you take that into a war zone? I mean, somebody would.
You could, you could. There's a lot of Toyota, there's a lot of Toyota Hiluxes that have been
driven around in wars. I think Ukraine and Africa have proven that a lot of people will do that. But
do they do that because that's what they prefer, right? Sure. Do they do that because that's,
that's the ideal. Duly noted, duly noted that again, if you're putting this in the perspective
of a trainer rifle, the thing you really need to be able to see is will the rifle respond to your
inputs when you, when you shoot it, right? Is it accurate enough that you can be engaging
certain size targets, like targets that are identified in terms of size and practicing
your marksmanship, practicing the battery of arms, manual of arms, practicing, let's say,
managing the recoil of a, of a gas gun, a large frame gas gun. Can you do all of those things
with this? And is it responsive enough if we say, come off half a mil because your call was,
your call was wrong at 800. Come off half a mil. Yep. And that worked. It sure is. You missed it
for windage, 450 windage, press left half target, like press left, click, bang, hit. Like, yes,
it is responsive enough to do those things. And I think that's ultimately where, you know,
where we have to draw that distinction. So there is something here, but if I may have,
there is something here that I want to hit on, which is we had a jam on camera, on course. Yep.
Reliability is a thing. And longevity is a thing. These are two different categories. In my mind,
there's like, or you could call it long-term reliability and where and how the, how the gun
performs with wear over time. And then in the immediacy of reliability, we have shot a lot of
AR-10s and large frame guns now, pretty much across the board. Like we we've seen this to be
true on these, on these AR-10 pattern rifles at some point. And it's not like, oh, it's so dirty.
It's so ill taken care of. It's like, no, just like generally overshooting them.
Guns are relatively well-maintained and relatively decent environment. We're not
torture testing anything. All of them at some point or another have choked on ammunition.
That's the curse of the AR-10. No. Disagree? No, I completely agree. I mean, that's, that's, I,
look, I've seen that in Josh's frustrated face when I'm out there shooting my G3 based systems
and it just eats everything that I put into it. I mean, granted it mangles the brass,
but Josh is there like just hating life, dealing with suppressors, dealing with swapping ammunition
and having some of these issues. Like we switch in, we switch an ammo. Yep. We put on a can,
we take the can off, we shoot ball, we, you know, whatever, any of these things can result in,
again, AR-10s just being generally finicky sons of guns. So the fact that this choked and had a
malfunction, I don't know that I look at that and go, oh my gosh, this is the end of the world. I
go, yeah, well, I kind of expect it to happen at this point. Like now maybe that's not good and
it's not acceptable. You guys can extrapolate that. No, look at, you know, as you see, as you
see fit. Look, so, so one of the cool things, one of the cool features that PS and I think this is
cool because we've experienced jams and stoppages for AR-10s in the past. They put this five
position field adjustable gas valve on top. Now, granted, I don't think it's like the optimum
design. It's a pretty field expedient design. It's not like it would not probably go through
a mil-spec trial, but it's a field expedient design to where it's usable. You can tune the
gas for five settings on how much gas you put into it. Now, yes, if you run suppressors, that's good.
It's also good if you're swapping between hotter, like 175 loads to 150 loads, you know,
and pushing in between. Maybe our rifle, you don't want to shoot ball ammunition, but regardless,
I think this is a pretty cool field expedient feature that's kind of like how the FALs work.
The reason why FALs had that huge gas adjustment valve is because during the development of the
FN FAL, they realized that the 308, the 7.62 cartridge was actually really difficult to gas
for all these different countries they're selling to. So their solution is, let's just make gas
adjustment valves on all of the FALs so they don't run into this issue. Now, the G3s, the little
unknown fact that people don't throw around is that locking piece that's inside,
they have a lot of different angles, and specifically when they sell to a country,
they sell them the G3s with a data pack with that angle that matches the ball ammunition they issue.
So I think with the tendency of 308 is that it's a little bit more difficult for semi-autos to
handle than 5.56. Now, this is just a field observation. We don't know for certain. We'd
like to delve into this with a little bit more time. A side effect, and Josh has laughed at me
for this in the past, with his gas adjustment valve, I think it is actually really interesting
to dial it to where it is like on the edge of jamming. And as you're shooting, as you're doing
stuff, every now and then it'll jam and you have to work on your clearance technique and getting
rid of the round and doing stuff like that. Henry has such little trust in the AR-10 platform,
he has to practice malfunction clearances routinely with it. I actually, I personally do that. Now,
I don't think, I highly doubt this is a thing, this is a feature that PSA put in there for that,
but it's something that I do. This is a me thing. This is a me thing. And if you do that,
you can maybe put yourself in a position to be able to clear those things a little easier in
the future. But, and look, ultimately, this is what I'll draw back to. There's going to be numerous
comments. I have a $1,000 S&W, it shoots sub MOA routinely and regularly, and it's never malfunctioned.
Show us. Awesome, man. Like, that's great. If that is the case, and that's your experience, like, that's
fantastic. I don't know how many of these you've shot, what the, what your, your overall experience
is, like shooting at distance, whatever, like, that's awesome. If that's the case, it is not the
norm, not the norm at all. And we can say that having now shot a bunch of stuff over the last
seven or eight years, where, where we just had the, the opportunity to do it. And it's just
sharing the experience across these things. If you have an outlier or an anomaly, that's awesome.
Like, that's good. Shoot it. Don't sell that gun. Like, don't get rid of it, if that is the case.
So, but also be very, let's be, again, to Henry's original point here, let's be realistic with
ourselves about what it is we're looking at, and what acceptable performance factors are in terms
of things like accuracy, groupings, and how that translates at range. The idea that all of these
guns are inch, sub-inch, everything should be sub-inch, to your original point, Henry,
it's just nonsense at this point. Like, it just, it isn't, I mean, maybe they should be, and that's
what we should strive towards, but believing that that is the standard by which a gun is either good
or not good, is nonsense. I will close it with this question. On the initial video that we posted
on the, the core accuracy of this rifle, there were a lot of people who said that they would
just buy this and switch the barrel out to like a proof or whatever, like a nicer barrel onto it.
But then at that point, you've already crested the 2G range, and you voided the warranty.
Is this something that you would do? Would you rather use this as that core training rifle,
knowing that it has a lower accuracy threshold, or would you rather buy this to swap it out to
keep the M110-ish look with a better barrel? Or would you outright just buy something that is ready-made?
So, I'd be curious on what the audience prefers. All right, gang, as always, we appreciate you
tuning in. We know that this was a little spicy, a little reality check maybe. Maybe you still think
we just got it totally wrong. I'm sure we did. We're just two dudes. Let us know in the comments.
Let us know, do we still have it totally wrong? Does everybody except us all have sub-MOA
large frame gas guns? Let us know. As always, we think, as always, we appreciate those of you who
stick around to the end of these things. The YouTube algorithm loves you. Like, comment, sub.
Come hang out in the private Discord on Patreon. Until next time, we'll see you on the range.
One six, 15 light two, one Victor, two fags, recon one, over.
