AR10 BS Thread

I have not looked at that yet I will keep away from temptation

 

They say it's good out to 400yrds in suppressed/subsonic form. I never even searched for the super sonic ballistics

It's basically the AR10 version of 300BLK. Barrel change is all that's needed

 

I went with Ballistic Advantage as they make the barrels for Aero anyway and I figured it would help ensure head spacing was good. The gas rings in the Aero BCG are tight but ought to break in. The first box of 308 I ran through it worked perfect but when I tried 7.62 the other day it seemed like it had a low gas issue and I had issues with the bcg locking back on the last round and some feed issues as if the bolt wasn't coming far enough back. @OnePuttBlunder said he had some of the same issues but as he has shot it more it has been working better.

 

I believe if I were to change calibers it may be a 6.5 Creed. Have you bought the uppper for that build yet?

 

I'm trying to get the 308 finished before I start down any other roads. I highly doubt I will build another AR10 lower though ............unless I find some really good deals

 

The old humpback mtn crew. I'll just be sticking with my 308

 

So you will build another because you always find good deals and I can't see you having a rifle and a half

 

You're probably right, but it'll have to be a great deal. I really have no need for the AR10, and different uppers will be more than enough..............I think

 

Hahaha you should see the 6.5 CM memes in the group chat and we all have a 6.5CM to. Only thing that gets it worse is 6gt

 

I’m sure. My circles are about the same way.
I have a handful of creedmoors and a 6GT too. Haha

 

I never saw that movie just wasn’t my kinda thing but why all the references to it? Damn y’all make me feel old as hell

 

Holy cow. Thank you. I looked up ballistic advantage and they have the barrel I want. I will probably order mu BCG next week and the barrel in May.

I owe you a pint.

 

I would inagine there’ll be some good sales around Memorial Day. Watch Schuyler arms for sales also they had some great ales around Christnas you can thank @gixxerphil for that one.
I ordered the Barrell strait from Ballistic because I could choose the option for them to drill and pin the gas block which you can’t do if you find it on sale, idk if they even do it when they have a sale

 

So midway usa birthday pricing is actually pretty good.

@Casper66 just ordered 100rds of that Federal 150gr MSR to try out and 100 more of the s&b 168 that the aero seems too like too.


Sub $1 per imi smk 77gr razorcore was too good to pass up. I've been buying up a fair amount of this lately $19 per box was their previous best non birthday pricing non sale was $22 per box

 

I’ve got 4 boxes of the Fusion I’m going to try that next

 

I've been trying to find decent pricing on it. Only thing I had previously seen was in the $35-$43 range per box and wasn't going to spend FGM money on fusion msr

 

$38 a box was last o bought hence why only 4 boxes

 

So stock Aero m5 buffer spring (bottom)for 7 inch tube. Compared to Sprinco orange AR10 buffer spring(top) also for 7 inch tube
Just installed bcg is definitely closing with a little more umph this may be the solution to some of my failure to feed issues. I still may swap for heavier buffer as the vltor hs2 i just got for another ar build seems heavier than the stock aero "m5" buffer. I use quotes because it looks like their branded M5 carbine enhanced buffer kit is the same as the M4 in terms of spring and buffer weight.

 

If the bcg is not coming back far enough like a low gas issue wouldn’t a longer heavier spring compound the issue?
