Unless you want to buy them from somewhere, I had the lapping tools made for the Aero upper(s) (large and small). I also have the bar that inserts into the extension/lugs so you can then use a wrench to torque the barrel nut. Flat rate USPS is pretty cheap,PM me again if you want to use them.

Try having a conversation without vulgarities, it shows ignorance. He quit coming here the day you belittled him about being a gunsmith of 40 years. It's not what I think, the proof is posted in the public eye for all to see.

Here's another thing that you can think about, CO-OP. Ever think about going in on a unit with a family member or a friend? What sucks is having to dole out enough money that would put a dent in the price of something mid range.

I don't know if you are interested, but you can rent. I used this place last year while on a hog hunt in Florida last year https://www.ultimatenightvision.com/Rentals-s/1820.htm Rentals are applied towards purchase Bushnell also has a monocular FLIR

Ok, I'm bored I understand this is your very own little cyber hangout, but I have watched you run a lot of knowledgeable people off, Survivalshop being one of them. A conformation usually ensues after someone's idea is different than yours. Having less than $450 in spare parts is not what I would call a horde and is really minor in the grand scheme of things. I also understood that a lot of people don't have the funds to lay out on cheap insurance should the need ever arise. So yeah me saying that I have half a dozen spares and by me saying that is nothing compared to some of the stuff I've read about while here. I always love whopper, but at least I differentiate.

BA is owned by Areo perssision, Primary arms has a sale on,you can pick up just about any BA barrel in 308 for a little more than a $120 You care to move up a few notches then get a Criterion. You can call them directly and speak to Josh,or you can order one from Fulton armory. Get a bolt at the same time when ordering from Criterion or Fulton. https://criterionbarrels.com/ FYI,I have well over a dozen BA barrelled firearms and probably six more spare barrels from BA.

Midway does the same thing. They have a policy that they may change the description and price at any time. I learned the hard way and had to eat 11 boxes of ammo a few weeks back,that cost me $270

I agree with the above, I own both and the Magpul is definitely a pig.

Well it can't be edited now.

Geissele makes a nice system but you're going to pay a premium over the Armilite kit. If you want just the spring they do offer their spring as a stand alone for $25. https://geissele.com/super-42-rifle-length-spring.html

It's going to be like any other Carbine stock - short. They do make some nice rifle stocks.

Why? He is buying a system designed to work together by the manufacturer Areo Perssision. I have half a dozen of rifles built off their stuff without one problem. It it was hodge podge of parts, then yeah maybe.

Aero owns Ballistic advantage, Primary Arms has a sale once a month where you could get a barrel for about half price. I used a Centiron barrel on mine, in the end it's all about what you want to spend. Stuff like sights,you could save buying elsewhere. Their BCG are made by Toolcraft, I bought theirs because it was in stock and on sale.

You won't need anything from Armalite if you buy Aero's kit (parts).

D Yes the guy needed to go,but no one was thinking about page three. It didn't do anything but create a power vacuum in Mexico

I agree 100%. We (CIA-DEA) fuqked everything up and started things on this downward spiral when we let Escobar get killed At the time I think there was only one maybe two cartel factions. Now, every state has at least one cartel

I'm not disagreeing, but I also had problems with two extensions on barrels I got from Criterion barrels of all places.( the hole was too big and the pins fell out and were lost between them and me during shipping) Josh actually wanted me to send the barrels back and I told him no way. He ended up mailing me half dozen of the pins because I get stuff the next day from them through the mail. It would have been a week screwing around waiting on someone else to ship them.

Camera Land has some really good deals right now. https://cameralandny.com/black-friday I just bought a package deal- Bushnell Elite Tactical DMR II 3.5-21x50 - G3 Illuminated And a Kestrel Sportsman(5700) loaded with Applied Ballistics and Bluetooth for $1,049 to my door. Mile High shooting also has some good deals. I picked up a Spuhr quick release mount for $50 off

Well maybe I had a poor choice of words, you are correct in saying that pin is an interference fit. However by design the pin should expand and contract freely at it's own rate. You have three dissimilar metals converging together all three will move at different rates.

The pin is going to float,I would NOT epoxy (JB Weld) it in. The pin will expand with heat hence the reason you want it to float.

Nice barrel for the price.

^^^^^ this^^^^ 20" barrel will make for a long day if you're humpin the weapon. As for custom barrel, why? I can think of at least 6 companies that produce the whole spectrum. I am partial to Centiron barrels,call Josh and discuss what you need.

They are on sale about every other week. The 308 barrel is 30 some oz's the 5.56 are 28 oz My fault

It's 28oz's and on sale for $124 at Primary arms. It is a very effective barrel easily out to 600 meters.

It's real hard to not buy a barrel and a spare for what Primary arms is selling Ballistic advantage barrels for. 18",16" & 14.7" modern $125 The next grade up in their line is only $147 Even the Hanson line is cheap. DeVore was selling some of them for under a hundred.
