Estonian R20L DMR Clone at the Range (Ad-free)
Added 2024-08-30 12:00:07 +0000 UTCToday we are out at the range with a semiauto clone of the Estonian R20L "Rahe" designated marksman's rifle. These rifles are based on the LMT MARS-H platform, with a few tweaks requested by the Estonian Defense Forces (like the bayonet lug). While LMT has a commercial semiauto copy of the 5.56mm R20 (the "Estonian Reference Rifle"), they don't make a clone of the 7.62mm R20L - so I asked them to put this one together for Forgotten Weapons. I then kitted out the rifle as the Estonaians have, with an LMT/Harris quick-detach bipod, GSL multi-caliber suppressor, Spuhr scope mount, and Schmidt & Bender 3-12x PMII scope. Along with the suppressor, the rifle has a 2-position gas plug for suppressed use (it's in the suppressed setting throughout today's video).

What was going on with the failure to fire on the second round?

Everybody talks about this but this time you can witness it yourself.
