Full description and what we offer
Rebel Spirit Combative Training Applications operates as a public resource dedicated to elevating firearms proficiency across all skill levels. Their mission is straightforward: provide expertly curated training content at zero cost to raise the quality of prepared citizens.
Unlike traditional commercial ranges or training companies, Rebel Spirit focuses on making knowledge accessible:
They partner with regional trainers to connect shooters with quality instruction. Current partnerships include:
| Region | Trainer | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Maryland | Atlantic Tactical Firearms Trainers (Salisbury area) | Pistol, Rifle/Carbine, Competitive |
Their signature resource breaks down the Civilian M4 Concept (also called the Readiness Rifle or SCDR) - a complete technical specification guide for building or evaluating a civilian defense AR-15. The guide covers:
Upper Assembly: - Barrel: 16" minimum (or 14.7" pinned and welded) in 4150 steel, CHF or chrome lined - Muzzle Device: A2 Birdcage for minimal flash and debris disruption - Handguard: Free-float M-Lok with top Picatinny rail, anti-rotation tabs - Bolt Carrier Group: Mil-Spec or better, Nitride or Phosphate finish - Gas System: Midlength or Carbine, low-profile or FSB gas block
Lower Assembly: - Receiver: Forged, Mil-Spec, closed-ear trigger guard recommended - Trigger: Mil-Spec or Larue MBT (reliability over gimmicks) - Buffer: Mil-Spec tube with dead-blow carbine buffer - Controls: A2 charging handle, standard controls
Optics & Accessories: - Primary: Sig Romeo XT4 PRO red dot - Magnifier: Trijicon 3X - Iron Sights: Magpul MBUS 3 front and rear - Light: Custom 8650-series kit with Malkoff head and Arisaka mount - Sling: Magpul SL1
Goal Price: Under $2,500 - Their sample build totals $2,380 retail, with options for deals down to $2,070.
Every recommendation includes the "why" - explaining trade-offs and acceptable deviations. For example:
"The 16" Barrel is the minimum legal length to avoid federal paperwork, gives great velocity with common ammo, distributes heat effectively, and handles CQB to 300+ yard scenarios."
"The 1:8 twist rate is perfect for civilian use because it stabilizes both light 55-grain M193 and heavier 77-grain ammunition - you don't need the 1:7 military standard when your ammunition varies."
Each deviation from spec is scored (-1, -3, or -5) so shooters can assess risk vs. cost.
They also evaluate practical gear setups, including detailed analysis of belt-kit versus chest-rig systems for civilian use - drawing on both American and British PLCE (Personal Load Carrying Equipment) design principles.
All resources remain permanently free. They accept donations via Venmo, Cash App, and Subscribe Star to fund ongoing content and community support - with a tongue-in-cheek commitment to occasionally "grab a beer."
