flyingfinn Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 Hello all! Looking forward to researching and discussing. I am about to start a build. I've already ordered parts. Mostly Aero Precision. I didn't find this site until after ordering. But I did consult with a friend prior to ordering. That is how I ended up ordering upper/lower made by AP. Sure wish I would've found this site before ordering. My buddy is a wealth of info, but lives on the other side of the country. I'm just past the half century mark and find myself wanting to tinker with guns for the last couple of years, rather than just buying and shooting.
unforgiven Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 Welcome from Indiana brother AP parts are steps in the right direction 👍 use Armalite for the recoil system pick a barrel, trigger MBT from LaRue. Furniture, safety selector. Have fun.
Sharpshooter Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 Welcome from Arkansas. Lots of good info here. Be sure to pick everyone's brain!
flyingfinn Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Posted March 2, 2020 I ordered the AP M5 .308 carbine buffer kit. I hope it wasn't a mistake vs Armalite. I ordered a BA 18" SS fluted barrel, LT MBT and a Magpul PRS stock.
unforgiven Posted March 2, 2020 Report Posted March 2, 2020 I used AP carbine receiver set up and had FTE/ FTF went to Armalite, no problems. All my AP rifles have Armalite setups in carbine and rifle. Just my 2 mags
flyingfinn Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Posted March 2, 2020 Thanks all! Called AP to try and cancel carbine buffer kit. Already processed for shipping. I did talk to someone named Dave on the phone that was very helpful, great customer service. Got a little "click happy" when buying online yesterday. Will regroup and post in correct topic. Thanks.

Already processed for shipping You will find a use for the spring and tube when you build your next small frame AR! Pretty sure no one has found a good use for a 2-1/2" 3 oz buffer yet. Maybe we should have a contest.

There is no good use for a 3oz or 3.8oz 2.500" .308AR buffer - a contest for one of those POS buffers should only consist of Tannerite. See who can hit the biggest charge with one of those things sitting on top, and blow it the furthest. That's the best use of a POS buffer like that. It's an aluminum-bodied buffer, though, and they only make 3.8oz (max they'll every get) by stuffing two tungsten weights in it - so take out the tungsten before we send it to the moon...
flyingfinn Posted March 6, 2020 Author Report Posted March 6, 2020 Thanks all! Rifle buffer kit arrived today. Just waiting on Larue trigger, SLR adj. gas block and some tools.
