Tripledeuce Posted December 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Thanks. Anyone finish one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonfalcon07 Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 I think DRD has. I've finished the lower build, but am waiting on Aero to ship the BCG's so I can get my barrel and get it finished up completely. What did you need/want to know?

98Z5V Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Can't remember how many of their 5.56 lowers I've used - would have to count guns, seriously. They don't put out a bad product, so don't fear their .308 lower. Not in the least. Buy with confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCannicalBob Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I have one I just finished. It seems to be well built, and well worth the money I paid. I bought a matched upper/lower set, and while I wouldn't call it a tight fit, it is acceptable. Assembly was easy. I'm not thrilled with the Aero takedown and pivot pins. The takedown pin is a little loose and the pivot pin seems like the groove for the retaining detent is short. When I push it in all the way it will back up just a touch so the detent stays in the groove. That's not a problem with the lower though. The finish on the lower looks very good, as does all machine work. I have all the parts for this rifle at my local gunsmith's shop. He is doing the barrel/gasblock/gas tube install for me. With any luck I'll have a range report next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson if you need a bcg...ive got a shadow ops nib bcg for sale never taken out of the box I thought I had it cancelled in July but it showed up last week,and I dont need it it cost me 243 total will sell it for 200 plus shipping.....these are sweet! :) Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonfalcon07 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks, wash. I'm still waiting on the Aero one, but I've had it preordered, and it's theoretically going to ship sometime this month. I'll probably need another for the 16" build I'm likely to do thanks to you all, and the fact that I have an upper sitting around... If it gets too much longer I'll absolutely be in touch. That's a great price, and I really appreciate the offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roryb24 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I finished my AP M5 build about a month ago and i love it. I only used their upper/rail/lower everything else is from other companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.R.D. Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Nice! I'm waiting on the upper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Good looking rifle brother.I'm really likein that AP M5 set. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.R.D. Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Just got my M5 upper. It doesn't mate very well with my SI Defense lower. There's too much lateral play, and the rear tang isn't flush. Oh, well. If it fits my friends cmmg, I think he'll by it from me, unless anyone else is interested! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and my buddy built our M5's at the same time and his was so bad he sent his back. But luckily mine fits like a glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Rory is using the AP lower. Like to hear what the other combo is - the other guy's rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.R.D. Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yeah, while dpms pattern, the curved shape of the rear part of the Aero upper is not exactly the same...almost making it proprietary. Good thing their receivers are cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.R.D. Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 My Aero M5 upper fit my friend's CMMG lower just fine, so he's buying it from me. I'll use that money to buy an SI-defense matched upper. Lesson learned: Don't mix and match receiver parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 ... I'll use that money to buy an SI-defense matched upper... Great idea. They make magnificent stuff. Just FYI. It won't be "matched". It'll definitely fit better than some other company, but matching an upper and lower usually means that the pivot and takedown pins were drilled while the receivers were mated together. If you buy the receivers separately, they will have been drilled separately... leaving a small margin of difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.R.D. Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Got it. I guess I knew that, but like you said, it should still be a better fit than from another company. I'll let you know when it's in and how it looks! This my planned "OBR on a budget" build so far: SI-Defense Billet .308AR Receivers, with: · 18” Lothar Walther Vartac LW50 Rifle-length 1:10 Barrel w/NiB Bolt or… · 18” Fulton Armory Criterion mid-weight 1:10 .936 rifle-length gas system · BCG: Nemo Arms or D Wilson Mfg (NiB) · Miller Precision Low-profile Adjustable Gas Block (.750) · Geissele B-G2S-E Trigger · VLTOR 6 Position Carbine Buffer Tube / Receiver Extension · AR10 Carbine Buffer & Heavy Spring Charging Handle, Grip, Handguard, and Muzzle Device are still to be decided Edited February 13, 2015 by D.R.D.

Robocop1051 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I have a matched Gen1 SI-D set, and I fit my buddies Gen3 upper on there perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.R.D. Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I think mine are Gen III. The new Ambi ones are Gen IV, I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRKle! Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 · VLTOR 6 Position Carbine Buffer Tube / Receiver Extension · AR10 Carbine Buffer & Heavy Spring Make sure the receiver extension you're getting is the VLTOR A5 one otherwise the AR-10 buffer (H3 buffer) won't fit.
