PMags without so much as a single feed issue. Several 20's a couple 25's for fun, and a couple of 5 rounders for varmints. The rail on my M5 is Aero'd enhanced M-Lok 15". It's girthy but ought to be able to hold a suppressor if I went with a shorter battle rifle type barrel like a 12.5".

My second AR was an Armalite AR-10T I got years ago. Sold it and went about life, but got back into shooting and the bug bit much harder. All of my AR's are built by myself, head spaced, staked, etc. It was also an excuse to go down the tool rabbit hole once again to get all the stuff associated with assembly and maintenance. My current rifle is an Aero M5 308 with a 18" Rainier Arms Ultramatch barrel and SIG 3.5-10x optic. In Ohio, you can only use slant walled rifle cartidges to hunt hogs or coyotes, and since feral hogs aren't really a thing up here (yet), that just leaves 'yotes for hunting purposes. I have some private land, so I can shoot anytime I want, so I mostly hit targets or plink around the woods, less with this big rifle, but she certainly makes her appearances when it's time to roar. Long term, I'm waiting for Radian to come out with their LR308 set, and an SR-25 is definitely on my list of must haves, along with just about any other KAC stuff I happen across. It's getting harder, not easier to find, and chances are better with resellers like Thoroughbred Armament (Not a plug, no association with the company, they're just good folks). There are people who think .308 is a dinosaur round, but I like it for it's availability, plus, I like to keep mouths to feed to a low number. I presently only have .22, 9mm, .223/5.56. .300 BLK and .308 in my arsenal; ie those most likely to be in stock anywhere, as long as there isn't a huge panic buy going on!

My Mk-18 style 300 BLK with whisper pickle. This is probably the most fun gun I have. You just can't help but giggle when that thing goes off. Been looking at the BRN-180s in 7.62x39 to get a little more oomph. I dig SBR's and cans!

New guy checking in. I found this place thanks to JMJ. Like him, I have an Aero Precision M5 308 that I put together myself. Been a shooter since I was around 6 years old, and still enjoy getting out, although I haven't been able to shoot as much lately d/t work and adult life getting in the way. I'm a Paramedic, retired from the Fire Service and currently work as an EMS Coordinator for a Level 3 Trauma Center and I assist the EMS Medical Director with oversight of 32 agencies throughout the area. Enough of that! I have a couple of safes overflowing with firearms, and when I'm not shooting or working on guitars, I'm planning a build for a firearm or a guitar. I'm a former MX racer, and have the broken-down body to show for it. I still ride, on dirt more so than on the street. I've been a car guy, but as I age, I find I like simply getting in and driving more than working on them. Also, being a Medic in various settings, and slightly banged-up kind of makes me a truck guy by default. That's enough about me, I'm gonna go read some threads! Thanks for having me.
