Sounds good. You got the Armalite gas tube, Armalite mag catch, only thing i would suggest different is to use an Armalite AR10 rifle buffer and operating spring since you don't have an adjustable gas block listed.
If going fixed gas block, i highly recommend the Armalite buffer system. Very smooth, very reliable. If you want to tame the recoil, get the adjustable has block, Armalite rifle buffer and spring, remove the weights from the buffer, and tune away. i Don't think the raptor handle needs to be filed down at all. The BCM has 2 tabs on the underside of the handle, these got in the way of the earlier Aero sets, but they fixed this issue. On the trigger pins, usually they need a little persuasion. If it dropped in so easily, you might want to check or the receivers pin holes. All 3 RRA kits over used required some effort with the trigger pin. Not much, but enough to notice. RRA is known for tight tolerances, so for me, I'd double check that lower. Aero makes good stuff, but the M5 has given them a ton of petty issues that have slowly been worked out. If everything feels fine, give it a shot. Just keep an eye on it. |

I didn't know Aero revised that issue with the BCM Charging handle. I may opt for the BCM CH instead.
Yeah for the RRA Trigger it didn't go in easily but I was able to push it in with some force with out having to tap it with a small hammer. The pins required more effort than the ACT Defense Triggers on my last couple of AR15 builds. Yeah the stock part of the rifle I am a little iffy on. I do want the Magpul PRS stock which Brownells has a Kit that comes with a 308 Buffer and spring and Rifle Tube. I don't know for sure if the buffer and spring are DPMS or Armalite.....I'm gonna say probably DPMS. But if the Armalite Buffer and spring are better then I will definitely purchase that instead. I've read people praising adjustable gas blocks helping reduce recoil. Is it that big of a difference? Never shot anything with an adjustable gas block unless the Saiga 410 counts? Though that isn't much recoil to begin with. Thanks for all the info so far. It will help me in the long run with this build. |

If your iffy on the stock check out the Luth-AR

It will help me in the long run with this build. not so much about reducing the recoil, as it is about tuning the gas system, and ensuring proper cycling, and eliminating overgas. ensuring minimal "extra" recoil is a side effect, you don't have to worry about tuning the buffer spring or buffer. you can tune your rifle to run lower powered rounds, where as a fixed gas rifle may encounter issues, with adj. gas, the issues become fixed with the turn of a set screw, no matter which end of the spectrum they crop up on. its just all around less headache, buy once, cry once. highly recommend the SLR Sentry 7. after running it on a 7.5" AR pistol, i'd run nothing else - YMMV. |

If you order the AR10 mag catch, you will likely get their B model mag catch which was not designed for Pmags.
I'm going to try the AR10A mag catch since that's the one that was designed for Pmags. |

Pictures as promised
Pic below shows lower with PMAG20 in. I don't know how to tell what Gen Mag it is but I have 2 PMAG25 that fit perfect as well with Windows. Now the Armalite B mag catch is what is installed and all 3 mags lock in and are solid. I tried to push and pull the mags out and they are not budging with out having to push the mag release. So I don't know what the difference is. I have taken 2 extra pics of the inside mag well and the lined up mag to the lower. The 2 PMAG25 mags drop freely but the 1 PMAG 20 requires a little wiggling to make the mag drop. Pic 1 of Mag locked in mag well.

Also I miss read the info about the Phase 5 308 bolt catch lever. It was the persons lower receiver that prevented it from moving into the locking position which his lower was not a Aero Precision setup. From the AP Setups no one that I have read has had a issue with it unless I have missed a topic but from the other one I have read it seems it was the AP bolt catch was had some issues.

I also endorse the advice of ADJUSTABLE GAS BLOCK.
My M5 build was SUPER nice tuning the gas from over-gassed & DEFORMED mouths of brass cases to gassed just right and non-deformed brass. It didn't affect/effect recoil though. I highly recommend it. ~Will |

I haven't put the rifle through its paces yet, just got 50 rounds through the barrel to break it in (personal habit, not based on any data) and get the gas tuned. M80 ball at 25 yards is grouping good! But thats off a bench, shooting for mechanical function and brass recovery & not for accuracy. It will be a while before I chrono & shoot beyond 25 yards. ~Will |

I would think an adjustable gas block would be very nice, but again, it depends on how your rifle functions and if you get alot of blowback through your upper receiver. Individual Results May Vary.

All depends on how much you want to spend! Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Will, What rail are you using? 15" CMMG Mk3 Rkm15 Rail: RAIL Quoted: Quoted: I used the Odin Adjustable gas block . Seems like a nice quality product. A little cheaper in cost. I haven't installed it yet. That does seem like a nice one, wonder if they could pin that one also? They PROBABLY COULD, I mean if they are drilling the barrel, they could PROABABLY drill the gas block too... All depends on how much you want to spend! I want my gas block pinned, i like a bomb proof system lol. On that rail how does it fit up to your Aero Precision upper receiver? |

On their web site I believe it says $30 to pin. Now I'm not sure about this gas block. I don't see how its going to move with the dimples for the set screws. They said there were only one dimple, I asked for the second dimple. |

I have DPMS FACTORY dimples on my barrel as well, yet the gas block was misaligned and choked off the gas... About the only way a pinned gas block can be put on incorrectly is BACKWARDS or trying to remove or install the pins in the wrong direction. You should be good on your barrel, if it was dimpled for that gas block.

What did Ranier Arms charge you for dimpling? |

I noticed the gas block had two set screws and I put in the comments to add the second dimple. I didn't get charged. What great customer service. Got the SLR ultra lite rails, that block just fits in like a glove. Cant wait to shoot this thing.

Here is my AP M5 in its CURRENT configuration:
I liked the 18" Rainier Ultra-Match barrel, but, it looks (and probably will shoot) better in my MATEN 12" Keymod Upper. That receiver is TIGHT! WHAT I REALLY WANT IS THE MATEN SET with the 16" M-LOK RAILED UPPER THOUGH... 
I have a nice 21" Lothar-Walther barrel that I am contemplating sending to Marvin Pitts to have dimpled that would look & SHOOT great in that set-up

Does your lower receiver have the upper tensioning screw in it? IF not is there any play in your upper/lower receivers? |
