Yes And, i have to reset the trigger. What in the heck is gng on?!?! View Quote Also, take the charging handle out, bolt carrier out, and take a picture of those two parts and what the inside of the upper looks like. In particular wear marks. Since you have a new upper, we can rule that out. Are you using the same bolt carrier? |

Take your upper off and take a picture of your lower looking down at the trigger for me.

Quick question, but if an upper comes factory with the Aero handguards, how easy/difficult is it to swap out the stock handgurds for a different one?? And which other ones might fit?

Dang, upon disassembly (have to re do the torque to 65), I notice that my gas tube DOES touch the teeth on the barrel nut (M5e1). I thought you didn't need to "time" these on the M5e1? Maybe it doesn't necessarily require timing, but dang it scrapes the gas tube (as in visible scrape). No wonder it's such a PITA to get the gas tube in this thing. Talk about "scraping by"! Ah well, it is what it is. View Quote |

so my trigger reset was fucked up. fixed that this weekend.

Rifle is now functioning fine
Although it did not like hornady 150gr soft points. Federal fusion and Aguila fmg's worked great. Ordered a vg6 gamma, the aac single chamber break, sux |

Okay seems like every one loves BA Premium 308 barrels. I know I want 18" barrel.. but which model? Looks like they have 18" heavy (rifle), 18" *Hanson* heavy (middy) (with pinned .875GB) , 18" Tactical (middy). All are advertised as premium. But from what I read its best to use an adjustable gas block with an AP M5 build because it can be over gassed easily. Which barrel should I get to go with my bare Aero M5 builders kit (stripped lower, upper, 15" MLOK rail)? I'm guessing the 18" heavy rifle barrel then get the SLR adjustable gas block for another $115? I plan on shooting both suppressed and unsuppressed. |

I know the recommended barrel nut torque is 65 ft lbs for the M5E1. What I am curious about is do I need to torque/loosen/torque a few times like most do with standard uppers with the threads on the outside?
Thanks |

Got mine started, at least I have the parts and test fitted the bolt and charging handle.
Aero M5A1 upper with 16" CMV barrel and 12" handguard Aero Stripped lower Aero 308 lower part kit minus FCG Aero 308 buffer tube kit AIM AR .308/7.62X51 Nitride BDG Bolt Carrier Group ALG Defense ACT trigger group BCM GUNFIGHTER Charging Handle (7.62mm/.308) Mod 4 (MEDIUM) Latch BCM GUNFIGHTER Grip MOD 3 Black Buttstock to be determined. It appears that the AIM bolt engages properly with the forward assist and the BCM charging handle clears the lower receiver just fine. Just got to put it together. |

Anyone run the Ballistic Advantage NiB 308 BCG in their build? Any issues? I have seen lots of reviews of the AP NiB 308 BCG and the lack of small firing pin hole for 6.5 creedmoor builds but no reviews of the BA one.
Thanks |

I'm jumping in the aero m5 pool. Have everything ordered...
Aero 18" Cmv m-lok complete upper Aero phosphate bcg and charging handle Aero lpk (standard) Aero m5 buffer kit Magpul moe stock Aero blem lower Magpul mbus sights 2 magpul 20 rounders With the $25 transfer fee..$1073 This will get me into the 308, first of 2 of coarse. I have no 308 ammo, so that going to suck. Will need to get scope too. Nothing fancy for this one. |

Why the muzzle brake, though? I'd expect your rifle to rattle teeth loose with the short barrel/brake combo. ETA: Or will you be shooting 100% suppressed? I forgot to add that I have a Odin adjustable gas block point as well. It worked great and effective with suppression. Running the specwar 762, I ran just into some trouble with the handguard being so tight to it. I thought about doing a chop, but have decided to wait it out for now. With a little finesse, I can put on the suppressor with a tool to help me reach a locking collar. It's a pain to take off and on tho. Also this rifle is loud. That was my intention on this entire build. I call it little thumper or Thor's other black hammer. The concussion alone will rattle your teeth if you shoot indoors. This only changes when you suppress it with a quality can that makes it comfortable. Lastly I need to double up on here protection when shootings this rifle. |

Attached File
Attached File Got mine together tonight, put 50 rounds through it. Fun to shoot, my first time shooting an ar10. Federal xm80, and a nice little kick. List of what I did... Aero 18" Cmv m-lok complete upper Aero phosphate bcg and charging handle Aero lpk (standard) Aero m5 buffer kit Magpul moe stock Aero blem lower Magpul mbus sights 2 magpul 20 rounders With the $25 transfer fee..$1073 Probably cheaper ways to go. Next, don't know what optic to put on it. Don't want to put too much scope on it and take away its plinking fun factor. |

Looking for opinions. Looking for precision long range accuracy in my M5. I am not overly concerned with weight. Definitely going rifle length at either 22 or 24 inches. I see Fulton has pre threaded Krieger barrels, read good things about the Rainier ultra match. Also see a lot of positive Proof Research info and am debating on their steel or carbon barrel. So many choices and so little documented accuracy information.

What is the consensus on compatible BCGs for the M5?
I see some great deals on the Toolcraft BCGs which I understand are well made - but will they work with the Aero uppers? Any others I should consider? |

I used the toolcraft for a bit. Cycled fine but I pulled it because of the larger firing pin diameter that wasn't 6.5 Creedmoor friendly. Should work great in a 308 build though. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

It's a heavy stock but it really helps balance the gun. You have good taste in stocks too; I have the same one on my AR15.
