Thank you 👍

Good choice? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-5-64-in-Cobalt-Red-Helix-Drill-Bit-48-89-2302/205879027#overlay Thanks.

IF you're going to buy a quality #47 & #48 drill bit, who makes a quality drill bit?

I have some tap magic

Ok i bought this numbered drill bit set https://www.harborfreight.com/titanium-m2-high-speed-steel-drill-bit-set-115-piece-61543.html The #50 drill bit .070 fit, #48 .076 & #49 .073 were to big. I don't have a drill press, so i would have to do it by hand. What vise jaws would work best, any recommendations? Thanks everyone. 👍

Any numbered sets that you would recommend ?

My gas tube & Midwest industries .308 reaction rod won't be here till tomorrow, won't get to shoot it till the following weekend. But yea the 0.077-5/64 drill bit won't fit, so its off to get a numbered set of bits today. Thanks you

What drill bit would you recommend to open up the gas port?

1/16 drill bit fits with a little wiggle room, bit measures 0.062 5/64 drill bit is to big and won't fit, bit measures 0.077 Below is my Aero Precision AR15/AR10 Enhanced Carbine Buffer Tube + Heavybuffer CAR-10 Buffer 5.5 ounces + .308 Carbine Buffer Spring

@Albroswift Thank you, my barrel shipped today. I have a couple of mid-length ar15 gas tubes. I will post the port size when it gets here.

MY Build 1. Aero M5 Upper/Lower/15" Enhanced M-LOK Handguard 2. Aero M5 .308 Lower Parts Kit, Minus FCG/Pistol Grip - LaRue Tactical MBT-2S Straight Bow Trigger 3. Ballistic Advantage 16" 308 Win BA Hanson Profile Midlength (.750") AR 308 Barrel w/ Lo Pro, Premium Black Series + .308 Complete Bolt Carrier Group, Phosphate 4. Aero Precision AR15/AR10 Enhanced Carbine Buffer Tube + Heavybuffer CAR-10 Buffer 5.5 ounces + .308 Carbine Buffer Spring Do the Ballistic Advantage .308 barrels typically come under gassed(ordered my barrel this past Saturday)? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Awsome, i really wanted one of the MechArmor Defense charging handles. Thanks!!

Ok, so I don't need it LOL!

I also noticed the AR10 buffer over at Armalite is: Overall Length: 5 3/16" Weight: 5.4 oz. & the one over at Heavy Buffers is: http://www.heavybuffers.com/ar10rxh 10oz ? Whats the reason for almost a 5oz difference?

Awesome, thank you very much for that link! So I take it that the "MI-308SS15-DHK MI D.P.M.S. .308 KeyMod Series One Piece Free Float Handguard, .210 Upper Tang, 15-inch Rifle Length" Would be the DPMS High, cause the Aero Precision M5 Upper receivers are "DPMS High". https://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=1230

Yea my take down pin is not tight at all either, according to AERO they told me there are no matched sets cause they are forged. KNS Precision is making their take down/pivot pins now maybe we have the older pins. I was told to contact customer service to see if they need to be swapped out.

I truly appreciate this, thank you. How is the fitment between your upper/lower receivers?

Awesome, thank you.
