While the AR platform can be assembled easily, I think many of us know that while almost everyone can put it together, there's a different process all together, for truly building one. Matt Patruno is the owner and co-founder of Two Grunts Inc., a Michigan based rifle company. As a former Marine, and a former Police Officer, Matt knows the importance of a reliable work rifle. From material sciences, to metallurgy, to understanding what the label "mil-spec" really means, Matt and I get into a lot. There's truly a science and a detailed knowledge that he puts into every rifle her produces, and he shares an awful lot of it with us in this conversation. I was surprised to hear that many of the common beliefs that I personally held, weren't near as true as I had been led to believe. This entire chat serves to show you that while there's a ton of popular opinion out there, there sure isn't a lot of knowledge. If you run an AR, this is a MUST LISTEN for you!
