Redid my matrix arms build on an Aero. I like the hex screw for the forward assist and tensioner screw for upper and lower.

Built this guy as a fun heavy carbine to bang some steel around.I can shoot the cheaper steel case through this that I wouldn't put through my sr25.I got the chance to run it saturday and it took less than 5 rounds to get the gas block adjusted and running suppressed and un suppressed. Really happy with how the CMT handguard feels https://image.ibb.co/kbUJw8/a2.jpg |

What barrel are you using? Also curious about the gas settings between supressed and unsuppressed. As far as the gas setting I really just turn it all the way off and then load 1 round in the mag and shoot.I keep doing this and adjusting till the bcg will lock back on empty and I go a tad further to ensure it wont fail on a light load. |

I had BlownDeadline do it. It’s his “BDL blades.” I asked for kryptek highlander colors with a little more green than usual and some burnt bronze highlights.

Has anyone had trouble with KAC mags in their M5? It seems as though my mag well is a little too big causing the mag to wobble enough that it drops loose when shooting.

recently put together, basic stuff here.
Aero 18" 5R MLok upper (I might chop it to 16" but it was a good sale so I snagged it) Aero BCG (in use until I have issues like some seem to) Vortex Viper GenII 1-6 on Larue mount Aero M5 Lower AERO LPK (DPMS bolt catch in the drawer for when mine shatters) Larue MBT2 Larue Grip B5 Enhanced Stock (installed since pic was taken) It'll get a Griffin muzzle device and AGB once I get closer to my suppressor coming in.

I’ll post pics tonight when I get home of the damage. Now that I think about it it could just be a new buffer system needed. Going to measure some stuff when I get home and order a sprinco set.
Aero M5 receivers Toolcraft 6.5 BCG Aero 308 carbine buffer system with buffer spring and tube. 16” Faxon 6.5 Creedmoor barrel Centurion handgaurd SLR Sentry 7 clamp on adjustable gas block I went fully closed on gas and loaded 1 round until reliably locked back and then went 1 more open and then added suppressor Will add more details when I add pics tonight. |

I've been back and forth for months on the whole bolt vs semi thing for a 6.5mm build I've been wanting to do for a while now (and am in no rush).
Then Brownells went and threw the m5 uppers and lowers on sale. So i grabbed an upper (no sense getting a lower, almost NOBODY in this shithole will do transfers on lowers "because it undercuts us too much"....and the 3 or 4 that will charge almost the price of the lower in fees). Guess I'll pick up maybe a fulton armory barrel? I dunno. Plenty of time to mull it over. Like i said no rush.
