The rest of the parts showed up for me to complete the build. I think I have a problem. The AIM BCG locks up so tight that I have to hold the charging handle latch and slam the rifle in to the ground to get the bolt open. Any remedies for this, other than buying a new bolt?
Edit to add - It only seems to do this when the upper is attached to the lower. If I take it apart the bolt does not stick at all, unless I'm just not able to push it in as far as the buffer assembly does. |

MY LESSON LEARNED: I put on a POF buffer tube, about the same length as the VLTOR A5 and put in the LR308 buffer & spring and the bolt carrier rear shoulders 'BIT' into the POF tube! Luckily it was just from cycling & not firing! Always match the spring & buffer to the correct tube!!!! I assembled my Aero a few months back, and haven't had time to break it in.

i got my buffer tube the other day. from what i've read, the AR15 tubes work on the DPMS 308s as well? i put the spring and buffer in and it's pretty damn tight. i dont know what's going to happen when i put in the BCG, still waiting to get it.
the guy at the LGS was telling me that a buffer spring is a buffer spring, they arent carbine, mid length, or rifle specific. now, i've built 3 AR15's and i'm pretty sure they always came with a carbine spring or a pistol spring. i assume that a rifle length spring would need to be longer than a carbine spring and the same would go for a 308. anyone shed some light? |

Except for the Vltor A5 & the POF buffer tubes. There is a real difference there ! These are also known as mid length buffer tubes as they aren't carbine nor rifle.

I recently completed my Aero M5 build, I initially had purchased a DPMS LPK from my LGS but after finding the takedown and pivot pins didn't fit.
I managed to find the AERO LPK in stock and ordered it. The fcg in this kit is terrible, possibly the worst AR platform I have ever shot, So I ordered the giesselle g2s. The biggest issue I encountered on the whole build was the BCM Gunfighter charging handle hitting the lower receiver upon assembly. I was pretty bummed to be grinding on my sixty dollar CH, but that's the way things go sometimes I guess. Most recently I got the new Strike industries Ultimate Dust Cover and installed it, it was super easy to install but a pita to latch and it fit like poo so I had to cut/sand away material to make it fit. Parts list and pics in 2nd post |

Since the distance from port to starboard is greater on these M5's compared to AR15, Aero needs to step up and have a batch of properly lengthened mag catches run. And stop shipping these ill-fitting mag catch/button assemblies. They half-ass work while looking like ass. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have my complete M5 lower. Now I'm looking for an upper. Does anyone have any experience with the AP complete upper that has the 16" barrel? I bought one from them for Black Friday - love it. I was dead set against a 16" bbl until I started using this one. One thing to be careful of - the port door spring stub sticks up into the ejection opening 1/8" and will rip your hand if you swipe it (as in cleaning or clearing). I bent mine over like a hook with needle nose. |

This is the one I quoted above...
Still a BandAid fix though. To match the width of their receiver, Aero needs to have some correct-length mag catches run. |

As an aside, I paid the high tariff and have an Armalite AR10A mag catch and bolt catch en route. FIP, the AR10A is their new, Pmag-compatible rifle. |

Okay, with your name being Direct Drive and being in OR I was wondering if you were affiliated with them. |

I probably will get the Armalite 10-A Mag catch (just for the added length ), but do you have to have the Armalite 10-A Bolt stop catch, too? Doesn't the Aero LPK have the correct bolt stop catch that works with Pmags?

I have a CMMG bolt catch that works fine with my pmags (from what I can tell without the bolt yet). |
