HDWarlord Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Just what the title says, but it's technically an Aero Precision lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 The end plate keeps the extension from spinning. Also probably don't want to torque the steel castle nut right up to the aluminum lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 It is best to use the receiver end plate ,it is nothing more than spacer but it holds a spring and detent in position. Also as noted above ,keeps from maring up the lower receiver when torqued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Get a plate that doubles at a sling attachment. That'll make it more worth having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe it holds the spring and detent for the takedown pin on the DPMS 308 platform, they are held in by the pistol grip along with the spring and detent for the safety selector.

blue109 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 What holds your takedown pin in place... SuperGlue©®™ ! My Fulton takedown pin detent and spring are held in by the grip, right behind the selector detent. Pretty sure DPMS is the same. The fact that he asked the question in the first place leads me to believe the aero is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Just looked at the pictures of the M5 lower on Aero's site . It has two holes on the right side above the pistol grip top edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngrBob Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 My Spikes Tactical .308 also has the takedown pin detent and spring as well as the safety detent and spring held down by the grip. I thought this was fairly common for DPMS pattern units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I have 5 lowers (3 brands ) with hole in the rear covered by end plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) I have 5 lowers (3 brands ) with hole in the rear covered by end plate. I guess they aren't DPMS or Aero lowers then, are they? Do you need a picture Mike? I'll go dig the rifle out and pull the grip just for you!

MikedaddyH Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I guess they aren't DPMS or Aero lowers then, are they?Looked at Aero lower M5 on their site.. It has two ( 2 ) holes on the rail above the pistol grip on the right side. Do you need a picture Mike? I'll go dig the rifle out and pull the grip just for you!Read last post or two.

blue109 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 The lowers you have with rear install detents...do they use standard ar15 springs and detents? What brand are they? I'd think with the 308 lower having more distance between the pin and the rear edge of the lower you would need a longer spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 One ar15 spring plus a partial spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the lower, My Ares lowers have the takedown pin spring and detent hole drilled and threaded in the standard AR15 location - under the end plate, retained by a small (#4-40) set screw with a standard length spring, no spacer. :) Edited June 12, 2015 by guruofhotrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Really ! What holds your takedown pin in place ... MAGIC ! What holds your takedown pin in place... SuperGlue©®™ ! Diagram on page 27. Your welcome. Only because you're being such a fucking smartass, Mike. It was already stated the GRIP holds the takedown detent and spring in place. That's on DPMS, Fulton, Aero, and a metric $hit-ton of others. Here's another pic that shows it - you can SEE the two springs, right?... You worry me, bro - I've found out two things about you tonight. 1. You need to build more Big ARs. 2. You need glasses. THICK motherfuckin' glasses. "So thick you can see the future" kinda glasses... <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 lowers with 2 holes above the grip and 5 lowers with 1 hole in the back. I Do Not have a M5 Aero lower just their ar15 lowers ! But that $h!t was funny !
