I just posted the second reel in the three video series on the C.H. Amaden Hambone duck call tribute. This video goes over three minutes so IG will not put it in anyone's feed that does not follow @duckboatsdotnet. If you have an IG account please share the reel to help recruit new folks to this site. Thanks.

There’s a young lad I know who is getting interested in guns. Never had a real father figure growing up, always asking questions. I decided he was going to build an ar-15, with my guidance. I wanted him to appreciate the idea that firearms are just tools. Reiterated multiple times that the hammers and punches he used to build this gun were no different and used the correct way, no one gets hurt. I will take him (once it warms up a bit) to do all the sighting in, start the basics of understanding ballistics. I am also upgrading the hand guard and putting a first focal plane scope on my ar-15 I built 10 years ago. Hes going to help me mount the scope correctly, and sight that one in when we sight this one in. My last ar was built for longer distances and coyote hunting. I built this one to be closer range, quick light reaction style shooting. He will site in iron sights, a red dot, and a scope. He should get it all covered with a nice few hour sit.
On a side note, I am always trying to be a little different. I didn’t want a plain Jane tacticool rifle like you can buy on the shelf of any store. I decided to go with some red. I’m still having some mixed thoughts on the final build with all the red. Despite all the color, I did put in a really nice match grade trigger and bcg. I didn’t go super wild with the barrel, like I did on my first build because this one is really only set up to 200 yard max distance. The barrel still got insane good reviews on accuracy, but I’m not betting it performs as well as the sub moa barrel I put in my first. It’s amazing how far technology has come in coatings, weight and how good they feel and cycle vs the first one I built 10 years ago.
I would like to take him this spring and call coyotes and draw first blood with this one. I think that would be the cherry on top for him and understanding everything full circle. Teach proper gun handling and muzzle control while out in the field. It was tedious and slow. What would of took me 2 hours, took us 6 but he was so giddy and excited when it all came together.

I applaud you getting the young man into hunting and teaching him a proper attitude about firearms. I hope he gets his coyote with you there.
