FN 15 Military Collector M4 Review
bit.ly/2CHLudt
I came across the FN 15 Collector Series M4 at the last shot show. I honestly forgot they even made them. So when I saw it, I practically begged them to let me make a video about it.
My desire for the M4 is based on nostalgia, but even more so from the movie Battle Los Angeles. I love the movie, and something about seeing M4s in that film really made me enamored with the classic style of the M4.
However, most people who buy the FN15 Collector Series M4 want them because they're obsessed with having a rifle as close to the military version as possible without the fun switch.
So, if you're a gun enthusiast, collector, or just plain curious, join me for a deep dive into why the FN 15 Collector Series M4 deserves a spot in your arsenal. Hit that play button and let's lock and load some knowledge! 💥🔫

So many people are so obsessed with tweaking, modifying, and customizing every aspect of their AR that they forget how much work can be done with a basic, classic M4 carbine. It simply doesn't get more solid than this.

@gabemorris6692 11 месяцев назад

If you don't like the ACOG, toss on an Aimpoint M68 CCO (also known as the CompM2). The Army bought those in 2000, so it's authentic to the period. In all the units I was in during the GWOT, the ACOG and M68 were the go-to options.

@@builtdifferent244I now have both collector edition M-16A4 and the M-4, simply put, the M-4 is 2lbs lighter, much shorter with an adjustable stock and is far more adaptable to more situations. Yes, the Marines in 2004-2005 did room clearing with M-16A4…After just carrying my M-16 through doors on the upstairs bedrooms, I was curious, all I can say is yyyyiiisshh that was an accident waiting to happen! The M-4 is FAR more suited for that! Hence why the M-4 is so preferred……Although nothing beat a 5.56 M855 out of a 20inch barrel since the original .223 REM is built for the 20inch barrel.

@gatorbite3351 11 месяцев назад

I have a Sig Rattler, some bullpups, etc but my goto is an original Colt M-4. It is from 1993 or 1994 and is still going strong today. It has been painted and stripped a few times and shows her age but, as the saying goes, "careful son, I am old for good reason".

The feeling you describe is that feeling I had in 1982 when I shot it the 1st time at Ft Jackson SC. I have shot every model since the A1 and took an M4 to Iraq in 2004. When I retired in 2016 the 1st thing I did was purchase an AR, and now I have 4. One being my pride and joy, the 6mmARC. You shot it and reviewed it not too long ago and you loved it.

The ACOG was always a love-hate relationship for me when i was issued one. However, utilizing the bindon aiming concept, you can be surprisingly fast with an ACOG .

@Britcarjunkie 11 месяцев назад

6 years ago, I picked up a Colt M4 LE carbine - minus the ACOG, it's basically the same rifle. Love it. I installed Troy rail covers on mine, and they stay put. I have a broomhandle on mine, but I have the folding one, not the fixed one, and it does have play in it, but I like the folding feature, and it's fine if you hold it tight when firing. It also has removeable side plates on the handle, so you can mount a pressure pad for lights/etc. I also have the military buttpad, which, on the standard carbine stock with no body armor, is a nice thing. The reason for the ACOG is - as you said - it's bulletproof: no batteries that need to be replaced. The only other M4's that I'd buy, would be FN's, H&K's, and POF's. They just run, and run, and run.

If you have an issue with the acog being slower, get the newer TA31RCO. It's a little smaller to help with weight, it has better eye relief, and it's what is in current use in US armories. Also as for red dots, you can still use a PEQ-15 on the top rail as it has a gap in the middle specifically for the FSP. Also would recommend either a top mounted or, if you are a man of culture, an offset RMR. Edit: for those of you who are curious, I was a Corpsman with 1st medical BN in Pendleton, and I had a lot of time in the armory with a few of my marines brothers.

Seeing this gun put a big smile on my face when u started shooting and when u said battle los angles I love that movie and everyone seams to hate it

@JasonJackson-wq3vt 3 месяца назад

I was a Cold War Era Veteran shooting the M16 AT2’s with the iron sights. The word you used to sum up this M4 style rifle is “classic.” Agreed. Some AR rifle combos work well and this seems to be one of them. Love the humor with the use of your movie clips.

I’ve been planning to build one of these with PSA parts and a Franklin Armory binary trigger, though all I’ve got is the lower receiver that’s been sitting around for months collecting dust.

@cgoins1993 11 месяцев назад

Send the binary trigger back and get a fostech echo. They’re much more reliable

@PhilJLF 11 месяцев назад

If you aren’t going to build it you may not for years; I’d just buy one out right for 700-800 if it’s your first one

@aaronskuse2207 11 месяцев назад

Building AR’s is a weekend hobby for me, so while purchasing is definitely more convenient, I just feel more satisfied if it’s for personal enjoyment, same for my retro 300 blackout based on the Colt 607.

@PhilJLF 11 месяцев назад

@@aaronskuse2207 yeah building your own can often cost the same or more anyways and you have to make sure it’s functioning; almost like the Polly 80 pistol kits; those almost cost the same as getting a brand new glock and take a lot more time putting it together if you don’t know what you’re doing or first timer.

Democrats here in Kalifornistan would say the M4 is the epitome of evil. It has all the scary evil features they just hate. Semi-auto, broom stick handle, plastic adjustable stock, flash hider, standard capacity magazine that actually drops when you hit the mag release. Spooky. I say God Bless America. Thank you FN. Thank you Colion.

Colion i love the fact that you are getting more into classic guns. Its kinda what got me started. I would love to have an M1 Garand and M16A2 just for experience with a classic rifle. I do love modern tools too, but something about history draws me to the old stuff.

Battle Los Angeles is definitely underrated. Certainly, a different animal in the 'Alien Invasion' Zoo. I found it refreshing that it wasn't the old 'we're so outgunned/out-teched we can't win the old fashioned way' overused trope. It was grunts doing grunt things. It also convinced me to get my own AR, as well.

@eljuano28 11 месяцев назад

I served with the M-16A2. Twenty inches. Iron sights. Crappy tri-burst trigger. Loose as your girl after Jody gets done with her. When I eventually got a hold of an M4 for some trigger time, I didn't like it. (I didn't like the CAR either.) I can't quantify why. Weight's too far back? Too much report? Too much muzzle flash? Too light? Maybe. Maybe not. I just don't know. There's nothing "wrong" with it. It just doesn't feel right. To me. Thirty+ years later, my Jackrabbit gun is a mid length Savage MSR Recon, not some A2 pattern replica, and I absolutely love it. It's blue jeans. It's an old pickup truck. It's chicken noodle soup when you don't feel well. So it's not just a matter of what I had got used to. Functionally, they're all mostly the same. Subtle differences and personal preference don't always fit some formula. We like what we like. We don't what we don't. The most important thing is to find one you love that'll last and use it a lot. Life's too short to argue intangibles. Semper Fi/Semper Gumby.

@jackbaird5235 6 месяцев назад

Excellent review colion as always. You pretty much nailed it on this one. I have a few pimped our ar's and i just recently built an m4a1 clone almost identical to what you have there and i have to say it is everything you said and more! And just the feeling it gives you words can't really describe. It is now my favorite rifle and will be my go to from now on. All i need for it is to find a m951 light and shes pretty much complete ❤ keep up the great work and stay safe

Battle Los Angeles! YES! But their M4s are 20in I think and yours looks like a 16in. I love the FN15. It just feels solid in the hand. I lust after one and don't have it yet. I will though.
