AR-15 BS Thread

I’m an Aero fan, I’ve built 4 rifles from their stuff, have had great luck with them. Even after I build them, they still look and shoot great. I’m sure I’ll build another, maybe a FDE Texas special for my brother…..

 

I had an FDE lower/upper/rail and 20 mags sitting around years ago. I let my buddy talk me into building it for him. It was right before Magpul dropped the FDE mags that matched perfectly and went to Coyote Brown. I'm still kicking myself for that

 

The coyote brown mags match the new FDE pretty much spot

on

 

well considering everyone's "FDE" is some variation of "FDE" and no one's matches then I wouldn't think having the mags match perfectly is that big of a deal. Personally, I like the 50 shades of FDE set ups.

 

It doesn’t really. I find it kinda funny Aero lists their FDE as Magpul FDE yet it doesn’t match the FDE Magpul stock. Tbh it makes no difference but after 30+ years of body work and painting color matching is a kinda pet peeve

 

Damn. I thought they were much darker....................some bitch..............now I want to build a FDE Aero

The Aero and Magpul FDE matched perfectly. That's the only brands I had on that rifle.

 

Mine matched perfectly. Now granted, that was years ago......so the recipe may have changed

 

Can definitely see how you would have a different take on mismatched colors haha.

 

Did someone say Aero?

 

Very nice and I really like those handguards

 

The Magpul FDE stock on that rifle is lighter in color than the other stuff

 

And I just figured out a Magpul BAD lever will not work with a Larue billet upper

 

I know it isn’t an AR-15 but here’s my 1 "Aero" build, even though the only thing Aero about it is the receivers.

 

6.5 or 762?

 

762. I didn't want to collect another caliber and only dabble in "long range" shooting. The furthest I ever really stretch out is 600-700ish.

 

Vey nice

 

Thanks. I plan on getting it cerakoted eventually but I've been lazy.

 

I hear ya thats perfect for that range

 

My Aero
