    Drooling over all the dress up parts for AR's. So many things.

    Until recently I never really shot rifles, owned a few handguns, shotguns, and have shot several hunting style rifles and a few "tactical" rifles from friends and what not, mostly innawoods can on a log at 50 feet type stuff.
    (Thank God for backwoods America! :oldglory: )

    After I bought my first lil 10/22 and took it to the 100yrd with a 0'ing target I was hooked on longer range.

    Here's said Tacktiqool Soap-mall-mod-cop 10/22 the goal was to attach as much crap as I could to it, it needs moar. It is as ridiculously fun to shoot as it is ridiculous.

    I dig it! Looks like fun and 22 is so cheap to shoot. I have yet to get a 22. On the list though.

    I think for your purposes it’ll be fine.

    Unless you’re going the silent capture rout the only upgrade i would make is the geissele super 42 spring/buffer. It’s something like 15% stronger than a standard spring and will keep a dirty gun running longer. I have one and it runs great.

    Cross posting, looking for recommendations.

    My Aero AR10 started acting up this week. Long story, but I started having failure to eject issues last week when I went out to shoot. Every round would fail to eject and cause a double feed. I traced it back to the extractor on the BCG. It would either disengage the empty cartridge before it cleared the chamber (so it would only pull it half way out), or do the exact opposite and pull it out but not release it. As the bolt moved forward again, the empty casing would stick out of the ejection port at a 45* angle and then make contact with the leading edge of the ejection port and get stuck between the bolt face and cause a jam. Contacted Aero and still going back and forth with them about different things to try before they even mention the word "warranty". Only have about 200-300 rounds through the build.

    Things I've tried:
    • Everything is clean and /or oiled and shows no physical signs of wear or damage.
    • Tried a separate BCG and had no failure with two different types of ammo.
    • After removing the O-rings from the extractor spring, the BCG now will not let go of the casing unless I physically reach in to the ejection port and pull it out. (Takes a little force to get them out). The casings are getting chewed up pretty bad. Two O-rings total and I tried it in several configurations (both rings in, one ring, no rings and just the spring)
    The BCG is the nickel boron coated version from aero and some dude at the range that saw I was having issues mentions that nickel boron makes the surface of the metal harder and in turn makes the tolerances closer so the BCG might be tight and needs to be broken in. That true? I know coatings do take up some tolerance, but I'd imagine a company with the name "Precision" would account for that if necessary.

    Separate issue: Now this week I started having double fire issues. Fire on trigger pull and fire again on slow release to reset. Normally that would be cool (like the echo trigger), but it's not consistent so it's all coming apart this weekend to check for abnormalities. I'm lost.

    If I only had the funds. Spent to much last month, have to be good this month.

    On a side note, I got my concealed pistol license in the mail. Took less than two weeks after I put in my paper work. Not really to bad. They told me up to 45 days. Felt weird to carry for the first time yesterday. Just not used to it yet. Of course, I want another carry gun now. CZ P07 has really caught my attention.

    Is it new? Email the manufacturer and see what they’ll do about it.

    I could be missing something in your post but it sounds like the spring on your extractor is bad. You said you tried a new bolt group and it worked fine? If so remove the extractor from the good group, and use it to replace the extractor in question and see if that works.

    Built about a year ago. Already in contact with Aero, going back and forth with them currently.

    I though about doing that after I came home from the range the second time and was cleaning everything. Will try that soon. Just trying to get Aero to send me or sell me a new extractor and spring has become a hostage negotiation.

    Swap the extractor spring but also compare the extractors side by side and see if one is out of shape.

    For the other issue check your trigger pins, see if you can replicate the issue with dry fire (upper removed, using your hand to catch the hammer)

    My AR9 "pistol" is like an SBR with a "hand brace." Haha!
