A new podcast series by the Firearms Trainers Association has launched featuring Larry Vickers taking a deep and detailed dive into some of our favorite firearms. Of special interest were podcasts featuring the Heckler & Koch HK416 rifle and the Knights Armament SR-25.
In this episode, Larry takes a deep dive into the Heckler & Koch HK416 rifle. Larry was involved in the development of the 416 from the beginning when he was working in Delta. Larry goes through the initial talks with H&K, the goals they had for the program, what factors drove the search for a new rifle and the final results.
He field strips the 416 and highlights the differences and similarities with the M4 platform. Larry then looks at the upgrades and changes that H&K has made over the years to the platform by looking at the HK MR-223-A3. This is an in depth look at an historic combat rifle by a man who was there from the very beginning.
Larry Vickers takes a deep dive into the history of the SR-25 as well as its use and development in Delta Force during the 90’s and 2000’s. Featured in the video are a KAC M110 and a Unit used SR-25.
