Aero Precision M5 Bronze Digiwash Build

Recommended Posts

I am starting a new build. It is actually my first AR build. If you see a mistake please let me know. I thought it would be fun to compile a list of different parts and how they work together as well as the weights of the individual components incase it's helpful to anyone else. A lot of weights are available at the manufacture website but not all. 

Aero Precision M5 stripped lower receiver painted in Bronze Digiwash painted by Weapon Works in Burlington, NC (12.1 ounces)
Geissele Automatics SSA-E Trigger 05-160  (2.1 ounces)
Aero Precision M5 upper receiver painted in Bronze Digiwash with factory forward assist and dust cover installed (14.4 ounces)

I also ordered an Armalite ar-10 rifle length gas tube because the aero precision gas tube was short. The armalite tube was actually a little too long.
I thought I took a picture of the Aero Precision gas tube but apparently I did not. This is the Armalite tube:

I used a Faxon 18" heavy fluted barrel and a Superlative Arms adjustable Gas Block

Curious has to how you like the feel, balance and the minimalist stock. I know when I added a couple of more ounces to the end of my 16" barrel, it felt a lot different.  So I'm switching to a lighter brake, and maybe a lighter scope after hunting season.
