Just have two questions to submit.
You’ve mentioned in previous videos; especially concerning external-piston ARs. That they had issues of the inside of the upper receivers being damaged; due to their cam pins gouging out material. Did Caracal installed the screw insert into their CAR-816 rifle to try to prevent that same type of issue from happening, which occurred in previous external-piston designs?
During the amount of experience that Colt Canada or Diamaco had with the AR-15 or M4 carbine, did they ever played around with any external-piston firearms or an external-piston AR-15?

Just have a couple of questions regarding the 6.5 Creedmoor round.
Could you talk about the origins of the 6.5 Creedmoor round, and is it still considered a “battle-rifle” or a full-power rifle cartridge like the 7.62 NATO or the 30-06 calibers, or is it its own category of ammunition?
Lastly, referring back to the .280 British cartridge and comparing it towards the recently developed 6.5 Creedmoor. Do you think that there’s some similarly in terms of design concepts/methodologies between the two? – Especially how both cartridges weren’t as overwhelming/over-bearing and were easier to control for the end user to gain well placed accuracy. Compared to the 7.62x51 NATO counterpart.

In regards to the German Army’s program to replace their G-36 service rifles, did H&K thought about incorporating some design enhancements such as installing a heavier barrels for the G-36 or beefing up some parts of the internal components? – Similar to how the US Military has done in the past to address with their issues of the standard M-4 Carbine, and then progressed towards the M4A1 with the SOCOM heavy barrel.

During your time spent at the UAE facility for the Caracal 816, what types of ammunition did you used at the factory and were any of that ammo made by Caracal? – Since they have another subsidiary called “Caracal Light Ammunition” that manufactures their own ammunition in house.
Lastly, is their ammo for sale for the commercial market?

Does Chris work on ARs for other people? If not who would he recommend to do barrel installations and gas block p
drill and pin installations?
Could you send me your email address I'd like to order some patches and probably one of the armors manuals and Black rifle too if I can get one.
Congratulations on your anniversary I'll be celebrating next week too if I can find some 9 mm lipsticks was able to send my dealer a p80 Glock men's it look good
Thank you Rory Isenberg

Colt 11.5 inch stripped uppers in Brownells, worth the $500 they want for it? Thanks
David | $21.08
Great channel! 2 ?s. 1) I received a BRN-10A (thanks for the rec). Brownells shipped with the BCG coated a viscous lubricant. Do you know what kind of lubricant is used? Do you recommend lubricating the BCG? The cam pin? What what? Mobil 1 grease OK? 2) Do you know of a barrel maker who produces a 20" 5.56mm barrel?

Colin again, That’s okay guys. The zentizo perst 4 is a full output IR laser and Illuminator from russia.
The B.E Meyers M.A.W.L is a US commercial IR laser/illuminator

Just submitting two questions.
Question 1:
Were there other rifles like the Sig MCX that was made primarily as a .300 Blackout weapon then scaled down for other caliber conversions? – Unlike other manufacturers that builds an AR-15 calibrated in 5.56 that’s then scaled up to .300 Blackout.
Question 2:
About Sig winning the Indian military contract for their SIG-716 rifles, are they still manufactured in the state of New Hampshire? – Due to India trying to push a “Made in India” initiative for their next service rifle.

Just have a couple of questions to submit:
In regards to the early years of the MK-12 SPR program, I read an article that Chris Barrett was approached by the 5th Special Forces Group, more specifically Master Sergeant Steve Holland at the time. He asked Barrett to develop a MK-12 rifle or a Recce type of rifle in the 6.8 SPC cartridge. From your experience, did you ever noticed any MK-12 SPR ever chambered in the 6.8 SPC round besides the MK262 cartridge out of Black Hills?
Second Question:
I noticed that the Colt M5 external-piston rifle that rivaled against the Colt LE-1020, had a unique heat-sink on the upper portion of its barrel underneath its handguard. How is the heat-sink of the Colt M5 different, compared to other types of heat-sinks used from other designs?

Can you recommend a non Sig muzzle brake a .308 Sig 716i Tread? I will run this rifle unsuppressed. The Tread barrel has a taper at the end and does not seem to have a flat landing for a crush washer.

Going back to the criticisms of the products made by KAC (Knight’s Armament Company), besides the fact of their rifles having certain proprietary components, another big concern is the high-price tag of their products. Before Eugene Stoner’s passing do you think he would have approach the current line of KAC products in a different way, or at least different from Reed Knight’s way of selling their products?
Mike Kennedy | $21.08
Chris, thanks for the response. I have watched the video. I guess my question is more geared to the current production rifles by Armalite. They’re now stamped Phoenix, AZ and no logo. Have they changed ownership again and how’s the quality? If I could find a Westrom era model I wouldn’t hesitate but I’m not sure of the current product.
I really enjoy the time you take building the history of whatever your subject matter is. Even something simple as the forward assist or buffer has a history of development and it really helps me understand the function and application better. Thanks for your time and keep the great content coming.
