First AR 10 build

[RAM2940]

Been doing a lot of reading on this site about ar 10's, So I purchased a Aero M5E1 set and a 6.5 creedmoor Wilson combat 20" tactical hunter.  I want to use a rifle stock will the Aero M5 rifle buffer kit work okay with this setup.  Also read where I need the armalite rifle gas tube.  Tring to head off future problems.

Yes, the Aero rifle recoil system will work, and probably have zero issues.

Yes, you need the Armalite AR-10 rifle gas tube.  Two WC barrels now, and another one just showed up to the board here - it's the way/location that WC is drilling the gas ports.  Armalite AR-10 gas tubes.

How do your WC barrels shoot, do you think the gas port is to small or did everything run good.

They both shoot fantastically!  One is a 16" .338 Federal barrel, "midlength" gas they say.  It's Armalite AR-10 Carbine gas, in reality.  Great shooting accuracy from it, even with fat Hornady 225gr SSTs going through it.  The felt recoil is less than a similar 16" .308 AR.  The other barrel is a 20" .260 Remington barrel, and I'm just under 100 rounds through it, all with load development.  I've settled the loads now, and what I went with was sub-MOA for groups.  There were several different loads that delivered sub-MOA through both these barrels.  Gas port diameter was perfect on both, after sorting out the proper gas tube lengths.
