5 Most Underrated Rifles!

[Music] hey guys welcome back so today we're out the range to talk about five firearms rifles that are underrated and these are firearms that are currently on the market you can pick them up if you can find them in stock somewhere but they don't get the attention that they deserve in my opinion but before we get started with today's video please take a moment to like share and subscribe to our

prices so please again check out bdu the first rifle i want to show you guys is from marco mar and it's the spanish set me l this is built from a parts kit but more and more of the parts are being produced here in the united states to produce these rifles domestically most of the stuff that you see on this rifle is actually produced right here in the united states the stocks both the forend and the butt stock the pistol grip the receivers the cocking tubes the barrel just the bolt and carrier and small parts like that are still being used from parts kits that are virgin parts kits that are being used for the internals of these guns but slowly the guys over at marklemar telling me that they will eventually be able to produce these 100 in the united states so why have i brought this gun up well we're going to do another video on the variations of this rifle that are out there i have one of the coolest variations here to show you this afternoon uh this one has the susat the british sue sat on top of it this would have been used by the spanish marines and they have another version of this rifle that has a stanag mount on it that could use regular snag optics night vision things like that but again we'll get more into this gun in a future video with all its different variations but this gun is really underrated not enough people out there are aware of them or have shot them so they can appreciate them they are roller delayed firearms and it's developed by the same people that developed the the original spanish set me which was used by spanish forces that was sold to the germans that became the hk91g3 same folks did this now it's not like the hk 93 or 33 it has some internal differences but it still uses that roller delay system that makes for a very pleasant shooting rifle now i know if you've shot an hk91 they're anything but pleasant to shoot they have a very abrupt recoil impulse the exact opposite is true of the set me this thing is just a real pussycat to shoot it just has it's almost like shooting a bb gun it's so mild the version i have here again has that british susat on top of it but typically for right around 1200 bucks you can get the standard version in this military green that has just iron sights and the prices go up from there they have carbine versions that have a collapsible stock they have this version which is a standard rifle version you can get them with heavy barrels you can get them in different colors but the important thing here is the price on these hasn't gone up mostly because i think people are just kind of unaware of them so if you go by the mark omar website you'll find them listed in stock you can click the buy now button and have one sent to your local dealer ffl so i think these represent a really good value for those of you out there looking for a military rifle that is chambered in 223-556 this is something you might want to consider because it's actually a very very cool gun and a lot of fun to shoot it does use standard stanag magazines they do have spanish magazines that these rifles were issued with that were steel they're not the best quality these guns are actually re-engineered for the geometry of actual snag magazines so these actually work better than the original spanish mags although if you do get your hands on some of the original spanish mags they should work in the gun as well the beretta arx 100 is easily one of the most underrated guns on the u.s market i think it ran into problems with the american consumer because one it's kind of ugly and two you can't really customize it and americans are used to customizing their ar15 swapping out things like the pistol grip so the gun you know is ugly to some folks it feels and looks like a pregnant guppy the stock is rather short even when it's fully extended and it's all plastic which turns some people off but it is 20 21 and polymers are in so it just for whatever reason didn't really catch on and i think that's unfortunate because when you take a look at this gun from a functionality standpoint it's one of the most reliable rifles i've ever owned the very first one i own was the black one which we ran suppressed for thousands and thousands of rounds and the gun never hiccuped we did the early ice test the original ice test on that first black rifle and it aced that test the guns are just incredibly robust when it comes to operation unfortunately you have these pick rails out here that you can't take off because underneath them are like shark teeth so you can't really remove them if you don't like them it's very thick which makes for awkward ergonomics again the stock does fold on the gun and that's also how you take it apart but we're not going to get into the disassembly if you want to see the full video on the rx100 we already have one out there but the stock does fold for storage and again it adjusts for length of pull very easily but the other thing that this thing does that's really unique especially if you're a left-handed shooter this may interest you is that the gun is fully ambi you don't need tools or anything other than the tip of a bullet to change the function of the gun from right hand to left-hand use the selector levers are identical on both sides of the gun the bolt stop bolt release is right here by your index finger and it's present on both sides of the gun magazine release is present on both sides of the gun the charging handle can be moved from one side of the gun to the other simply by locking the bolt to the rear sliding it over and pulling the charging handle through on the other side and now the charging handle is on the opposite side of the gun and i'll show you while i'm firing it how quickly i can change it from right hand ejection to left-hand ejection so the gun is really really cool for left-handed shooters if you're a military collector this is an actual military firearm it's being used by italian forces it's just a really really neat gun i actually like the flat dark earth quite a bit now i picked this gun up for a steal of 899 dollars when we were traveling i think it was bud's gun shop that jason and i found this gun at and so you can find them for really good deals but now the prices have creeped back up to 1500 or more because of the current market conditions but still they're a better value than things like the sig vertis which is going for three thousand sometimes four thousand dollars on places like gun broker right now so if you're looking for a good five five six rifle this is something to consider given the functionality and the reliability of it and beretta is just a big name it does use standard stynag magazines i'm gonna go ahead and fire five rounds and i'm gonna show you how i can swap the ejection of the gun from one side to the other all right put the weapon unsafe and take the tip of a bullet and just push on a little button back here make sure i got all the way over there we go and now after i push that button with the tip of a bullet it's going to eject out the other side of the gun how cool is that you saw without tools i swapped the charging handle around i switched the side the gun ejects out of with the tip of a bullet that's pretty darn cool functionality and still they can be had for a fairly reasonable price given market conditions another rifle out there that a lot of you may not give much consideration to is something that i have come to really enjoy shooting and that's the robinson armament xcr this is the rifle i went deer hunting with this year i originally had picked this up from brownells and 556 and then later picked up a 6.8 spc conversion kit for it and that's one of the things that really makes this rifle shine is the simplicity of field stripping the simplicity of swapping out calibers and the uh the fact that these guns are made right here in the united states and this gun was actually a scar submission and from what i've read about this gun in this the scar trials is that the reason it was kicked from the trials was because when it was submitted it wasn't submitted with a blank firing attachment and that's why it was kicked out of the trials now if that's true or not i don't know but that's the story that goes along with this rifle i do know that it was developed presumably for those scar trials so it's a really interesting gun and we have a full video out there on it taking this thing apart is incredibly simple to do some people have said i've seen in comments that it's an ar ak hybrid and i don't see it as being an ar15 in any way other than it has a pistol grip that's from an a2 it uses a stanag magazine and can chamber a 556 other than that it's not an ar and as far as an ak the ak wasn't the first one to use a long stroke gas piston or a rotating bolt so i really don't see it as being any type of a hybrid it's really kind of its own rifle and that's one of the things that really endears me to it now as a six eight this gun packs a lot of punch so you know a six eight is a six eight bullet that's in a case that will actually fit into a uh it's a special magazine but a stenag sized magazine that would go into a standard ar-15 mag well and so it was developed to add you know power to the ar-15 and i believe it was something that the military was considering at one time and that's how or why it was originally developed but regardless of why or how the 6.8 came into being i love it in this rifle and this is the rifle this year or this past year that i took deer with on the end of it i have an oss suppressor it does have an adjustable gas system you don't need to use a zero back pressure can on it for it to function reliably because you can adjust it again as i've already mentioned it's a long stroke gas piston that's in here it has ambi controls for the bolt stop bolt release which is right here by your index finger push up to lock it push down to release it and that tab is present on both sides of the firearm have the magazine release over here and then over here you have a magazine release selector lever is ambi the only thing that's not movable is the charging handle which is on the left hand side of the receiver you can get this gun obviously with all sorts of different barrel weights and profiles and links and you can get little tiny stubby sbrs and they're available in pistols and all sorts of different configurations if you go by the robinson armament website and check them out so on top i have my primary arms optic and again this thing what really impressed me was the ability for this thing on a cold bore to consistently put that bullet right to the point of aim and that's the reason why i took it deer hunting last year and why i might use it again this coming year that or i may use a 308 we'll see [Music] great shooting rifle very mild recoil with the six eight yeah easily one of my favorites another favorite of mine is the galil ace and you just don't see a bunch of folks in social media talking about the gun but i think they should this is probably one of the highest quality ak rifles out there the gun has you know all the modern features you have the adjustable stock for length of pull which also folds to the side for storage it has the tried and true galil ak type action i'm not going to break the gun down again we have full videos on these rifles out there already so we're not going to rehash that but you know it has that machined receiver ak internals reliability with the charging handle over here on the left-hand side of the gun and you'll notice is when the charging handle runs it has a little trapdoor that follows it all that's designed to keep debris and gunk from getting into the action of the ak so imagine an ak that's completely sealed up that doesn't even have that you know signature slot over here in the top cover which would allow globs of you know crud to get into the trigger mechanism the galil doesn't have that this is a sealed up ak which makes for an extremely reliable gun it also has a picatinny rail that runs all the way down the gas tube you have underneath the handguards 1913 rail sections that go all the way around it has iron sights which are you know traditional galil fashion and in valmet fashion you have the rear sight on the top cover back here and then you have a front post up here that has tritium in it and on top i have a meprolight red dot sight which is actually a green dot sight and it's one of the programmable ones that we picked up from our friends over at opticsplanet we'll talk more about this site in the future it's kind of an interesting site has some interesting functionality so the other thing that's really cool about the galil is the fact that you have the ak style safety over here but also with the gleal you have the safety mechanism by the shooter's thumb now of course this favors a right-handed shooter but it's really really nice now you also have the mag release right here and you also have a mag release over here and the golials now of course use regular snag magazines this also has a bolt stop which i'm hitting with my index finger right now so i can pull the bolt to the rear and push up on it and it'll lock the bolt to the rear push down charges the weapon so it's that little nub right there really really great guns and a lot of people think that they're ugly because the polymer lower there's people will complain about again the aesthetics but they're overlooking the functionality of the gun these things really haven't gone up much in price if anything they're going for msrp right now when you can find them in stock so it's another good value out there that if you're looking for a 223 or 556 rifle this is something you should give a lot of consideration to especially in today's market really really cool rifle love the aks love the ace another rifle that was kind of a flash in the pan you don't see people talking about it much i think it got more traction as a pistol than it did a rifle and that's the br the brin 2 and that's what i'm holding here in my hands the brin 2 is i don't know i would say a scar competitor just because of the layout of the gun and it's an evolution from the original brand 805 which is a gun that i really liked quite a bit the bren 2 changed things considerably on the internals and improved things considerably in terms of how the bolt is held to the rear and stuff like that non-reciprocating charging handle things that they people didn't like about the original 805 were rectified with the brand 2 and it is again an actual military service rifle but i don't see a whole lot of people in social media talking about these and when you do see people talking about them they're talking about the 762 by 39 version that as we've documented has some problems now as of the recording of this video cz to my knowledge has not made a public statement yet about the problems with the 762x39 firearms both the pistol and i don't know if they ever offered it in a rifle i'd have to check but definitely with the pistols and again that's something we documented those issues right here on the military arms channel and we're kind of hoping that you know cz would speak up but so far to my knowledge they haven't said anything but that doesn't take away from the 556 version of the pistol and the rifle these have been nothing but reliable for me and they're actually really cool well designed firearms there's a couple of quirks that you may not like about the gun probably the biggest quirk with this firearm i think is the fact that the stock has ever so slightly a little bit of play in it and that gets annoying when you go to shoulder it you can just feel it move just a little bit up but aside from that the stock does fold to the side it also is adjustable for length of pull and when you fully extend it there's quite a bit of length there so even somebody with my ape type arms there's more than enough stock there i run it shorter than its full extension it does have the monolithic rail that goes across the top well at least to here anyway and then you have a hand guard that is separate from the rail of the receiver but it continues on out so yeah it's lightweight aluminum upper lots of polymer in the stock and the pistol grip the lower the whole lower magazine well fire control that whole area is all polymer so it's a nice mix of aluminum and polymer which gives it a nice light feel the recoil impulse is really really good on it uses standards to nag magazines has a non-reciprocating charging handle that you can move to the other side of the gun it has ambi controls ambi mag release on both sides so and then you have a bolt stop bolt release inside the trigger guard so again it's really good for left-handed shooters it only ejects out the right-hand side but you shouldn't get brass in the face because the brass deflector so if you're left-handed shooter this would be another good choice for you but the recoil impulse is what i like most about this gun because it's very very mild only had five rounds loaded boy ammunition's getting tight and that's not a joke i mean it really is we're down to firing apparently five rounds per magazine now so anyway these are five firearms i think that you guys should probably take a look at if you're in the market for a firearm and you're looking for something out there that might be a little bit different that might not be really really jacked up in price pretty much all the firearms i've shown you this afternoon can be found for at least msrp if you shop around a little bit but i understand the market's really really hard right now it's really hard to find guns and ammunition there's certain firearms out there they're being scalped for ridiculous prices and i would highly recommend you don't take part in that type of panic buying because if you keep buying the ammunition and the guns that people are scalping they're just going to keep doing it it's going to feed the machine that's never going to end so let's get those prices back down by not playing into that game guys if you like to
