AR-15 BS Thread

Let me know what you think about it after you shoot it. I like it. But now that I am retired I have to be a little more picky about what I spend.

 

Encore careers are a great way to boost retirement and earn extra cheddar for hobbies -Dave Ramsey

 

I still own my small electrical repair business. That I have had for 30 + years. But I am getting ready to give that up.

 

Congrats! 30+ years is a long time to own a business, enjoy retirement!

 

That is what I did for side money for 30 years. My main Job was Turning wrenches.

 

I will. They are pricey compared to other muzzle brakes out there.

 

Took a while to get all the parts & pieces in, but I finally finished this build today. Say hello to my new favorite toy...

 

Anyone built an Aero Precision M4E1?

Looking at building a 11.5" SBR out of a stripped lower. Probably using a 11.5" Aero ATLAS upper.

I have only built M5s from AP so far.

 

I’m building one now.. complete Atlas MLOK M4E1 16” upper and stripped M4E1 lower.

Other AP parts are LPK and ambi charging handle.

 

I specifically chose and built the M4E1 mainly for two reasons: (1) Aero makes a GREAT product at reasonable prices and (2) I love the look/style of the upper & lower with the slick Atlas S-One mlok handguard... somewhat billet/blocky looking with sharper corners/edges instead of everything rounded. And has a nicely flared magwell.
I chose NOT to get their "enhanced" version because I wanted to stay away from proprietary designs & stuff, makes it easier if I ever want to swap things around later with milspec equipment.
11.5" barrel is a wise choice for SBR 5.56

 

Yea, I was very happy with Aero parts on my M5. I am planning on eventually suppressing it.

 

You rat bastards are gonna drive me to build another pistol


And I like it!

 

Just finished my first build. Used the M4E1 upper and lower. Aero makes great stuff. Go for it!!

 

Anyone have an AR9 they want to show off?

I kinda like the side charging uppers I've seen.. still shopping around at this point.

 

4.5” barrel, takes modified colt mags, wearing a Griffin Optimus in direct thread configuration and a cheap red dot.
Oh, and it’s an SBR.

 

Please explain "modified colt mags"?

 

Sorry, I meant colt style but was thinking modified uzi.
I use ASC magazines, both 10rd and 32rd.

 

Aero M5

 

There are 2 separate AR9 threads

But here is mine. I made about 6 years ago, before the side charging handles and the glock mags were still having issues.

 

How you like the M5 stuff? Considering this for next build.
