AR10 BS Thread

I know there is an AR15 thread and a lot of these parts are the same, but I wanted to see a thread just about the AR15 "Big Brother" since I'm about to go down that rabbit hole

I'm a huge Aero Precision fan, so I went with their M5 lower. I will run a M5E1 enhanced upper/rail, Elftmann trigger/A.S.S. safety. All other things are up in the air.

Here's the begining

 

Bahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha

 

@Casper66 I know you just went down this hole with me

 

I honestly don't know what happened

 

I have 3, .308 AR’s, 2 I built using Aero stuff, can’t go wrong with Aero Precision equipment. I love putting together adult legos, then shooting the end results. Keep us posted, nice.

 

This one will take me a while. I am pretty sure I want to go 308, but 6.5 Creedmoor is looming in my mind The only problem is availability of ammo. I haven't looked for the 6.5, but I can imagine it's like the 220gr 300BLK and hard to find(if at all). Then I've got optics to read up on. That's a whole can of worms that will probably drive me insane
I'm pretty sure for the first one, 308 would be my best bet.

 

Just finished Aero M5 308 build. Hope to get 1st rounds sent this weekend.
M5 stripped lower and LPK
Larue mbt2s trigger
Aero enhanced carbine buffer
Phase 5 extended bolt release
Radian Raptor FDE ambi safety
Aero Breach CH and Aero BCG
Magpul furniture
Aero 18 inch stainless steel complete upper
Swampfox Arrowhead 1-10 green mil dot reticle
Swampfox HE mount

 

I’m all in!

 

I believe you should rephrase that though unless you’re in to that but I’m sorry to disappoint

 

this is what happened...

 

Since you've already quoted it......I'm gonna stick with....I said what I said

Imma need to start a gofundme to help out

 

I love the FDE, but I just can't bring myself to try it.........although I did just buy a 19x 3 days ago

Did you paint/alumahyde/etc that? I don't know if I've ever seen a FDE buffer tube, CH, end plate/nut, or safety.

 

Safety is radian raptor ambi safety in fde it just happened to be a close match
Optic/mount/buffer/castle nut were rattle canned with AEVERO coyote brown paint and non optic items cured in oven. Optic took about 3 days to air dry cure


I have a 19x too and recently finished converting my P365 into coyote already had the coyote grip but just got the 365 x slide with romeo zero in coyote

 

Did a damn good job on it.

 

6.5 is out there and match grade cost about the same as .308 match grade factory ammo the big difference is there are not many less expensive 6.5 fmj options unlike 7.62x51 where you can still occasionally find 147 grain fmj for $1 per round or less

 

I'm thinking my first one would be best in 308. Then I could always just build a 6.5 upper. I'm by no means a precision shooter, I just got caught up in the $199 BF sale

 

My stuff is finally scheduled for delivery on Monday so should have some time ne t week

 

Can't wait to see it

 

Yeah that's where I was. I have a 6.5 bolt action but It is too big and heavy to lug around in SHTF scenarios. So I built the .308 gasser as a SHTF DMR style build on the principles of more effective range and energy than 5.56 .308 7.62x51 more likely to be found/scavaged than 6.5.. I can always add 6.5 upper later if wanted. In non shtf scenario it's a good 300-800 yard plinker and less $per round than 6.5 unless I'm feeding it match grade.
