I may end up doing this to my eventual 7mm mag build on a savage action. Where are you getting this done at? I sent the Upper and Lower to WW Guns for $85, Scope to Northwest Hydroprint for $65 and the rest to Liquid Gun works for like $350...i would stay away from liquid gun works if you want your stuff back quickly. they tend to take 2 months to finish your stuff and they dont respond to emails or calls. WW Guns and Northwest Hydroprint will have your stuff back to you in 3 weeks at the most. |

Picked up the M5 set today. My lower is a newer one with a tension screw so that's cool. Thumbs up to Schuyler Arms for the fast shipping and great price.

AR10A bolt catch does not fit my M5 receiver.
The dimension from the pivot to the lowest point is too long. Will not fit into the pocket on my M5. It could be ground/reshaped to fit. AR10A mag catch works perfectly with EMR button. Normal button projection, Pmags lock in and drop free. |

Armalite 10A fits, looks and works GREAT. Using Pmag Windowed 25 round mags - Work GREAT!!!! I am using a Seekins Enhanced Button.
As for the UTG Pro Handguard, DO NOT use the supplied screws. This has been discussed on the Build It Yourself Thread. The screws are weak and easily snap off. Go to McMaster Carr and get some REAL screws.Screws |

How do you like the UTG Pro 15" Keymod rail? I have one on my 6.8 SPC and it's pretty awesome for what it costs. Barrel nut is easy to tighten with the included barrel nut and wrench. You don't have to line up holes for the gas tube, but you do need to line barrel nut for the screws to secure the rail. It includes shims if you need them. With the design of the barrel nut you probably won't need them anyway. It feels good in the hand as well. |

I'm looking into buying a rifle from Aero precision. I'm a left handed shooter and I want to know from everyone's here experience on what I should do to improve my experience if I buy this rifle. I'm looking for a 20 inch barrel from which they sell. Also I wanted to know if they make the ambi lower official yet or do I have to buy a aftermarket ambi selector and ambi charging handle.

I just completed my build after compiling components over the past few months. The only issues that I had with the build were that the AP ejection port cover didn't mate with the upper so it won't latch (still need to fix) and when the rifle arrived, it came with a small gouge to the cerakote finish right to the front of the pivot pin well. AP did refund me the cost between a regular and a blemished lower, but I'm still slightly concerned about the durability of their cerakote job since I've heard mixed reviews. I'll be breaking the rifle in tomorrow.

Gonna sand the mags down at certain contact points to reduce the OAL when I can. Got IWI mags on order though. The Buffer tube, buffer, and spring are factory. That is a nice looking rifle. Do yourself a favor and order the CAR10-XH buffer and spring from Slash. http://heavybuffers.com/ar10carbine.html The stock aero buffer will let the BCG go back too far into the tube and the rails will indent the ring on the lower where the buffer tube is attached. (Ask me how I know... ) I believe someone else posted pics earlier in this thread of what I'm talking about.
Slash's XH buffer eliminates this problem due to it's slightly longer and the extra weight helps with felt recoil. Mine functions perfectly with the AIM nitride BCG and this setup. |

You don't say, considering that they only work with eachother.  Pmags are on my wishlist. Like I said just above, out of money and will be for a while. |

Does anyone have a suggestion on what to replace the Aero magazine release with? The factory one is too short inside the receiver.

Armalite AR10 mag catch will work. The catch? Is the screw longer on the Armalite? I was assuming I needed a thicker button. |
