AR-15 BS Thread

Picked up my new build

 

Nice upper! DI or piston?

 

I’ve heard that several times now, on a couple of forums.

 

Has there been a decision? I don't think so.

 

Piston

 

Aero is my go to. Has been since 2012/13. I ran across them on my 2nd build. Been my brand since

 

Nothing yet that I’ve heard

 

I used an Aero for my last build too. It’s worked out great!

 

Mix of bcm and aero myself. Both really good looking forward to finishing up my Aero M5 to round out the group

 

Next year I would like to get n Aero matched upper and lower to build an AR10 but we will see I do Ned to order another lower

 

I'm a fan. I know they make parts/lowers for some of the other companies.

Years ago(before the gun crisis) I bought a M5 bulder's kit from Schuyler Arms for $300 or $350 on a Lobar Day(or some holiday) sale. Never bought a single thing for it afterwards

 

I have bought a blem lower or two. They're akin to the SCS blems(or whatever wheel company is big here). I've never been able to find the "blem" on one.

 

So jealous. Literally, this morning I woke up and started looking for Mars Lowers online and then forgot I'm so poor haha

 

i preordered mine, it seems the only way to do it since any stock alert is sold out within 5 mins

i kind of want to preorder a few more since they are top, kind of sad they jumped in price from a year ago...these were going for 200ish all day

 

I'll give you $200 for it haha. I got jealous but I'm also poor so to make my self feel better I order a Geissele lower this morning haha. It's no LMT though....

 

lol

i saw geissele started doing stripped lowers, might snag one for a block 3 build.

let me know what you think of yours when it arrives

 

Brownells had them for $125 this morning. Probably paid more than I should for a basic stripped lower b/c of the G name but whatever. I'm sure it's as milspec as most others I use to shouldn't have any surprises or issue with quality. I think i've read the finish is more of a slick finish than a textured matte finish like on most other lowers. I guess i'll find out when it gets here.

 

take photos when it comes lol

there have been worst, people pay loads of money for markings, etc....just look at the knights lowers... they go for 1-2k depending - i want one but 2k is kind of out there

i was kind of disappointed in how cz changed some of the markings of the new colt lowers but at the same time i am not surprised

 

Yeah definitely could never justify paying for a kights lower. I'll just be content staying in my mid tier world as a couch operator in my dreams only haha.

 

The Resonator K with the Griffin Plan A is pretty freaking dope, stamp is still pending though


And the SBR looks pretty slick with the AEMS.
