Strafer Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Hi guys, I jumped on an Aero Precision 6.5 Creedmoor "blem" barrel from Midsouth, thinking I could build an upper for my AR-15! HA HA! Quickly found out I needed to build an AR-10 around that mutha! It's a nice 22" heavy stainless. Momma ain't gonna be happy when (if) she finds out I'm starting another rifle build! She wants me thin the herd, not grow it! I figure it's gonna cost me at least a grand to build this baby not counting optics. Thinking of going Aero Precision for the upper, lower, and handguard ...

Armed Eye Doc Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Welcome from Texas but currently in AZ. You should be good to go if you stick to the same brand of upper and lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a solid decision, right there. Welcome aboard. I just finished another build on that setup, AP upper, lower, handguard, in DPMS pattern. Used all Armalite AR-10 guts. Armalite AR-10 Carbine recoil system complete, Armalite AR-10 13.5" barrel, complete AR-10 BCG, and Armalite 3-Gun brake to get that barrel over 16" OAL. Runs flawless. Armalite guts do run in DPMS-based receivers. DPMS guts will run in Armalite AR-10 receivers (but I don't know why anyone would do that...)... I would suggest that if you're running a collapsible stock setup, that you run the Armalite AR-10 Carbine recoil system - if you do, it's one less thing to troubleshoot and diagnose on a DPMS-based 308AR, because it WILL run flawlessly. If you end up with a cycling issue, it will not be because of mis-matched recoil system components... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strafer Posted November 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Just ordered the builders kit from Aero Precision, flat black, lower, upper, and 15" M-Lok handguard, $504. A few pieces at a time, I'll get there, like the Johnny Cash song ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
