  1. Take 98Z5V's advise and ditch that gimmicky buffer setup. Get this and never look back: https://www.armalite.com/SACItem.aspx?Item=AR10REKIT01&ReturnURL=/Armalite/Product-Category/AR10-Parts-Accessories/Lower-Receiver-Parts&Category=ac614400-ff09-4cdf-9d35-419a654e7201
  2. When I put together my Aero M5 I just used an Aero M5 lower parts kit. I had zero issues with the bolt not locking back with their bolt catch. I did stray from their DPMS 308 buffer tube, spring, and buffer set up though. I went with an Armalite AR10 kit. Again, zero issues.
  3. The good: Ambidextrous controls, lightweight, uses DPMS low pattern handguards, Armalite length receiver extension, somewhat inexpensive. The bad: S&W decided to makes the bolt, carrier, and barrel extension proprietary. One can swap out the barrel and BCG with any DPMS compatible parts they like once they wear out the original barrel though.
  4. Damn! I won't be able to make it.😫
  5. Hell yea, brother! Had a great time and I'm still full!
  6. I bought it so that there would be more of the mag release button protruding. Aero Precision solves the problem of a short mag release by selling an extra long button. I had the same problem with my MATEN. I didnt have a problem with it not holding the mags in though.
  7. KAK makes an extended mag catch for 308 ARs. I have one in my MATEN. https://www.kakindustry.com/special-extended-mag-release-arm
  8. Hell yes!
  9. I've fired 100 rounds of the 185 Juggernauts through my 16" Criterion barrel. Shoots decent and fits in Lancer mags just fine.
  10. Why not go with one of the new Aero handguards? https://www.aeroprecisionusa.com/m5-atlas-r-one-m-lok-handguard
  11. Burris XTR II 1-8. They can be found on the used market in the upper end of your price range. I just bought one lightly used for $780 shipped.
  12. Another drop. Let's go $125 shipped.
  13. I'll take an Aimpoint over iron sights any day of the week and twice on Tuesday. They can be had for around $275 if you shop around for a used one.
  14. Price drop. $140 shipped.
