Here's the gun I'm talking about... Here's the reference thread... Here's my ultimate assessment. It ROCKS... So, bottom line - this upper receiver setup from Aero is THEE SHIIT for a 14.5"!!! The PA 1~6 scope is perfect for what I wanted to try, and I had to make the choice between one in yards, or meters, and the meters was discounted lower. Bought the meter scope. No big deal, the BDC in it ranges in meters, it's setup in meters, it all works. Took it out last weekend for the Spring Shoot, like in the pic above, and set up my zero target at 110 yards - 100 meters. Had a confirmation target at 330 yards - 300 meters. The typical 450 yard target - that's close enough to 400 meters. The 608 yard target - that's close enough to 550 meters... It rang ALL of them, once dialed in. The scope works. The barrel is STUPID accurate with my 75gr handloads, the Mk262 clones. This 14.5" just WORKS. The upper is a work of art. SO, we roll to the SDTF on Thursday for the shoot, we're there until Sunday. Saturday, GunPusher John sends me a text that our M4E1 PRO lower have FINALLY showed up at the shop! Too late, already zero'd and shot the gun, as is, just to shoot it, but at least the lowers came in. Picked up one of the lowers this morning, came home, took the recoil system off this gun, and built out the new lower. I gotta say, Aero knocked this M4E1 PRO stuff outta the park! This is my new favorite 14.5" 5.56 gun, for sure. I'll cross-post this into the Spring Shoot thread...

^^^ That firearm is so absolutely sweet... It's just flat borderline ridiculous...

Damn great pics, brother!!!

I'll have some updates in here tomorrow, with pics, of the sweet new 14.5" carbine. GunPusher John sent me a text on Saturday, while we were out there, that the M4E1 PRO lowers finally showed up. Week later than I needed, but that's okay - that 14.5" carbine got built on a BA lower, and shot/dialed in anyway...

Wait, wait, wait, brother - @Cunuckgaucho, I have bad news to report... @Matt.Cross and I saw TWO roadrunners on the to the SDTF. I'm just sayin'...

@JBMatt, fire up the notes on the new badass bolt gun!!!

SWEET, BROTHER!!!! I'll have to give an update to this upper, since it's now been put through it's paces. It surprised me.

Nobody is really talking about this, except for David Hookstead - everyone else is pretty much brushing it all off. Fuk that place, that whole "Museum," until they figure out their politics, on why they are blowing off Chapman - but honoring Slabinski - who left Chapman there in the dirt, to die. No worries, though. Ranger Battalion went in there and fixed it all, recovered everything - at a cost. Just like they did during the Operation Redwing FUBAR.

I have pertinent very personal information from one of my combat deployments that directly pertains to this whole thing, with some personalities involved in the whole affair. That will come way later, but it will come out. Here's the major BS, from one month ago. I'll most certainly post all the shiit from months before that. Bet your ass on it. This one is just cutting to the bone, to get the story out, and nip this shiit in the bud.

There's some very, very relevant MAJOR DRAMA with this place, that you should research, and speak up about. I'm not raining on anybody's parade, but there's a military political fukcing absolute shiit-show with this place right now. Research it. It's Afghanistan. One dude has his own display there - and he's ON THE BOARD THERE... and another one - WAY more deserving - does NOT have a display there. John Chapman - AF Combat Controller. Slabinski - Navy SEAL - he has a display there, and he's on the board of the museum. Hmmm... Here's some video on what Chapman did - and many say he deserves TWO Medals of Honor for that night, and that fight. Slab, and team - they left him. Slab get the CMOH. He's on the board of the museum. HE has a display. Chapman DOES NOT have a display. Yeah, Eff that place. Here's Chapman's firefight - after he was LEFT by the SEALS that he was attached to. I'll never support this place while that guy is on their board, no matter what, until they remove him from that board. I don't care how "memorial" or "heroic" it is - I won't support it. Remove Slabinski from the board, end the drama, and really, REALLY recognize the true Hero of that specific firefight. Until then, PNG. Persona Non Grata. I'm gonna post an absolute FUK-TON of information now, about this very specific event, just because of this thread. The truth needs to be known, both about this firefight, and about what this "Museum" is doing right now. Fukcin' burn it down. There's alot more coming, now...

The state has had a bunch lately. But the state always has a bunch lately. Don't fall off the country, brother - I think you're safe where you are, by far. Those right-on-the-beach fuqrs, though... They might disappear...

Anyone here involved in the crazy weather from Tx to NC? 90 tornado events over 13 states.

Something is certainly going on there... I don't understand the "On the Offense" Tactic...

Absolutely! I don't have any crazy bitches interfering with me, so it should come together quite nicely!

If you promise to leave your truck like that, I'll paint ya a gun that matches it...

Whatta Smartass...

Well, this escalated quickly. I'll be able to zero the optic and try it out during the Shoot. I also have a family of quail that roost in my big tree out back. They'll come out of the wash beside the house at dusk, walk up the wall, and get into the big tree. When they feel like leaving in the morning, they come out of the tree, onto the wall, walk the length of the wall, and go into the wash to do whatever quail do everyday. Pretty cool.

@308USK, PETE!!! I can't wait to meet you, brother...

The LACK of responses didn't cost me a $300 rail - it cost me a $720 upper... Bastards... It will be a whole gun by tomorrow morning. We'll shoot it at the Spring Shoot. Badass little 14.5" with a 1~6 PA scope on it. We'll run it to 600, and see if we can run it to 700.

It's a tough life all around right now. All I needed was some feedback - anything like "Shiit, Bro - that rail is so new that NOBODY knows about it..." But no, Crickets. That's why I invented "THE REVERSE RULE..."

Bobcat is one of my VERY favorite comedians - that was BADASS, Doc!

Too late for you, big boy - you should have chimed in that you have no idea about that RAIL. It was just over a rail. Crickets, from the whole audience. Now, you're on the hook for either the rail, or the upper. Pick your poison... Rub your credit card, and warm that fuqr up...
