    I agree I may change the grip too black. It’s funny to me Aero lists the color as Magpul FDE it actually matches the coyote mag way better

    I still need to get a BCG, CH, barrel, and optics. I've got to take a step back from buying stuff.......so maybe by the end of the year I can get it finished


    Cause I'm about to buy a YHM R9 for the EPC-9

    Barrel nut wrench. I have used other things, but this is best, especially with a torque wrench attached to it.

    get one like the above, it will have a half inch space where you can insert the torque wrench. 30lb minimum iirc.

    Aight. I just wasn't sure if they sent a wrench with the M5's. This is the first time diving into the big boy group :D

    It has more to do with your choice of handguard/fore-end than anything else. I have built 2 Aero 308s, and used a non-Aero handguard for both. If it's a non-GI type barrel nut, usually the handguard will come with a special wrench like the one you posted earlier. Same thing as AR15s, really.

    I will go with an Aero rail. I have never even looked to see if any other brands would work with the enhanced uppers. I know this is all in my head and probably not true, but I figure all that stuff from Aero will work together with no problems.

    I know I'm gonna end up building a FDE. If they come out with the EPC-10, it'll be that one :D
