The author draws on his background in special forces operating in Afghanistan as a starting point, but then makes changes based on what he believes will be the needs of an armed civilian. For instance, he does not believe that an armed defender will likely be shooting at the ranges he did in Afghanistan, so he believes that a simple red-dot optic will suffice (and be lighter and less expensive to boot) over using an LPVO. He also believes that you should shoot the ammo you can afford (even if it is just 55 grain), although he suggests keeping some green-tip in reserve because of its better penetration capabilities. While the 16-inch barrel has advantages, he suggests a 14.5" with a pinned and welded muzzle device because the slightly shorter barrel offers the best compromise between CQB (i.e., inside your home) and shooting at extended distances. Interestingly, he recommends that when getting beyond just a basic rifle set up, you go first with a suppressor before getting night vision optics. But he thinks a white light and red dot is probably good enough for the prepared citizen. He also goes into a few different load outs, so be sure to watch the whole thing.
He mentions that he has free downloadable targets for zeroing your weapon at his website. Here is the link.
