American Tactical Concepts -Sneek Peek #Ohio

Here is a sneak peek at another rifle build we are currently sourcing components for. Shown is the American Tactical Concepts lower receiver undergoing the CNC machining process. Love that logo! They are an Ohio based manufacturer, that we are proud to have as part of The 50 States of AR-15 project. We are looking forward to bringing you more information about their Ohio based company as well as the rifle build in upcoming videos on the BigGunner81 Channel. We are currently sourcing the remaining components for this rifle. Stay Tuned…

SkyJacker Defense – Hunter Orange, Georgia rifle

Just a little peak at the AR-15 receiver set for the #Georgia rifle build of #The50StatesofAR15 project. This receiver set is from SkyJacker Defense. Unfortunately at the time of this post they did not have a website, however you can check them out here on facebook. This is really cool to see a BigGunner81 logo on a rifle. BTW I picked the “Hunter Orange” for something a bit different, when I think of Georgia I think of peaches. While orange isn’t exactly peach colored it reminds me of peaches lol. So I’m looking forward to building this Georgia peach for you all and sharing the stories of the companies involved. We are planning on visiting Sky Jacker Defense at #ShotShow2017 to bring you some info. Stay tuned and again, I thank you all for watching / reading / and subscribing.

Till next time, “Have fun Shooting…”

Hail to the Chief – Patrick E. Kelley

As we are getting ready to head out to the desert for Shot Show 2017, we also are getting ready to welcome our new president Donald Trump. I wanted to share this clip that Patrick E. Kelley put together as a tribute. This man is very talented with an AR-15 and also shows some great musical skill. Just think about the timing of the music, and accuracy of the shots to hit the correct notes in sequence none the less. Not to mention having the proper amount of ammo to finish the melody. What a good show of hard work, planning, and skill! Keep up the good work Patrick!

Amend2 Mags 20rd AR15 Mags Are Here!


We first learned about Amend2 Mags at the 2016 Shot Show. So if you have been following the BigGunner81 channel on youtube you may have seen some videos on Amend2 AR-15 Mags. If you haven’t, you may want to watch this “Torture Test” Video(it will explain why I am excited). At this point you maybe wondering, why 20rd and not 30rd mags? Well that answer is simple, in competition shooting there are cases where 20rd mags seem to work out better. For example shooting prone where a 30rd mag might interfere with your position. Or possibly where a mandatory magazine change is required(for those of us who may forget a stage plan when the buzzer goes off). Another good reason for 20rd mags is for those looking to cut the weight of the rifle, without giving up all their magazine capacity. I’m looking forward to running these mags and will of course create a video review after we put some rounds down range. Oh and I said “we”, Laura will be helping test these mags out as well. So stay tuned…

2017 – Happy New Year

I would like to take a moment to wish you and yours a Happy New Year! I truly hope that your year (and life) is filled with happiness, accomplishments, health, and all things good. I would also like to say thank you again for following the BigGunner81 Channel and The 50 States of AR-15 project. As I have said in the past, with out you all out there watching, reading, & listening I’d be talking & writing to myself and that would be weird. I hope you all have enjoyed the content so far, and look forward to 2017. Speaking of 2017 we have many things to look forward to, some we know about some we do not know about yet. Kicking things off this month we will be heading to Shot Show 2017 where we will be covering the show, and interviewing for The 50 States of AR-15 project.

So if you have been viewing and already subscribe, thank you / if your visiting this page for the first time, thank you as well and enjoy the ride!

2017 Here we are LET’S DO THIS!!!!

The Hunt Ready® Rifle series is getting a face lift -with Kryptek® Highlander

December 20, 2016, Florence, MA – Yankee Hill Machine® is pleased to introduce our new line of Hunt

hand tuned and the included Bushnell Trophy Scope is zeroed to 100 yards at the YHM® facility. After
receiving your new Hunt Ready® Rifle, you are ready to go shooting, all you have to do is pick up ammo on
the way. The sturdy scope sports a mil-dot crosshair reticle and is held in place by YHM® manufactured 1
piece scope mount. YHM®’s scope mounts are designed to put the optic at the same height as the iron sights
on an AR-15 type rifle. Additionally, these rifles are hydro-dipped in Kryptek® Highlander camo pattern to
assist in blending into any environment you happen to find yourself in. The sling is made by Grovtech® and
is conveniently adjustable in length using one hand. It features a wide padded, rubberized shoulder area to
