Just got this assembled tonight.  Seems to load, dimple primers, and eject fine with the dummy rounds.  Now to get it out and do some shooting.  Winter sucks.

Okay, this has my attention. Is there a build thread or parts list for it?
There can be.

It's an 80% lower I finished, and a slick-side Aero upper.
I had a Strike Industries enhanced LPK, but for a couple reasons I only used a few parts from it.  The rest are CMMG.  Except for a Tom's Tactical trigger/hammer.
6" Angstadt barrel, with a 7" YHM MLOK handguard and a KAW Valley Linear Comp.  With Strike Industries MLOK covers.
Also KAW Valley bolt, buffer, spring, and pistol tube.
KAK Colt pattern mag adapter
Thorsden buffer tube cover+saddle.   IMI foregrip I modified to fit closer.  Turns out that was kind of a mistake (see below).
Vortex Venom in a Strike Industries exoskeleton, Magpul MBUS, and a Crimson Trace rail-mount green laser on an MLOK section.
And a FAB Defense Podium    Because it looks like that.

So, it has two problems so far.  The SI ambi safety selector is hard to make function.  It's function is fine, but it's sticky/stiff.  Not sure if it is the selector or the 80% lower.  Will hopefully loosen up over time.

Also, that IMI angled grip I modified.  Makes it impossible to get the pistol apart unless I loosen it and slide it forward.  Not a huge deal, just an extra step when cleaning.  Poorly thought out on my part.  Looks cool though.

The Podium...man.  It's possible I might have found the only legitimate use for one, with is on a super-short pistol like this.  It actually...works, at least in testing.  I don't think I would ever put on on a regular, full-size rifle though, for all of the reasons put forth in reviews.  Nothing else looks like it though, so it had to go on.

Those parts, and an obsessive amount of painter's tape, custom-made stencils, and Duracoat, and this is the result.  Pure fun!

ETA: this is the last Aero upper I am going to buy.  The takedown pin hole was literally oblong, and required serious file work to make fit.  Obviously I am not afraid of work, but, man.  I own a bunch of AR's and I've never seen anything like that before.  Maybe I got a fluke, but I'll stick with my regular brands and deal with the essentially useless (for me) forward assist.

Have you tried rounding off the pointy tip of the detent?  I've had to soften the tip of mine several times, as it required so much force to flip the safety, I seriously thought I would break the lever.  Worked fine for a while, then got sticky again...  The last time I removed it for additional work, it had gotten pitted from the groove between the selector's indents.  I'm guessing that pitting was catching on the edge of either the indent or groove and refusing to drop down and slide past.  If I have to mess with it a fourth time, I'm buying an aftermarket safety with one of those pre-rounded detents some of them come with...

Yeah I'm thinking that will fix your issue.  I've had some very hard to move selectors before and its take a lot of sitting and flipping to round them down.

It helped a bit.  It's operational with a little extra thumb force now...as opposed to practically needing thumbs on both sides.  LOL.  Thanks!

I would say the problem with you're AERO upper was definitely a fluke. They're actually one of the better manufacturers IMO. Did you buy the upper directly from AERO precision?

No.  Trying to remember which retailer I got it from.  Typically I go through Primary Arms or JoeBob, but I think I found the upper on Tom's Tactical.  I also picked up the trigger and MBUS there.

The other 4 AR's I have are all Spike's uppers and lowers, and I never had any issues with them.   I also helped my friends put together a few of their first AR's, and, again, I recall they used Spikes.  So, admittedly, I don't have a lot of variety in choice of uppers and lowers.

Honestly, I may just be soured on the Aero name itself.  I own an Aero Survival Rifle in 10mm, and the thing is a freaking jam-o-matic, no matter what ammo I try to run through it.  I think it's made by TNW though, and I don't think they have anything to do with Aero Precision.  If they do, that would be two crappy products I got with the Aero name on it.  To be fair, I suppose, I probably don't have enough rounds through the ASR to have it "broken in."  Mostly because it's been a struggle getting rounds THROUGH it.  But it's probably just the name sticking in my head.

I don't think the ASR has anything to do with Aero Precision other than the word "aero"

The reason I asked if you got the upper direct is that it may not actually be an Aero upper at all. I've even seen AO precision uppers sold as Aero Precision uppers

Anything is possible. The rest of the upper seems as good as any other I have seen. The takedown pin hole was strange though. The shaft of a 1/4" drill bit fit perfectly through the lower pivot and takedown holes, but it was as if the hole in the upper had been "squashed." Wider than it was tall...oblong. Not sure where or how that would happen. Hopefully it was just an odd fluke, regardless of origin.

And, yeah, I am pretty sure the ASR has nothing to do with Aero Precision. But they ended up conflated in my thick skull.

Diamondback  AR9

I finally completed my pistol build and made a range trip.

I've added:

Shockwave Blade
Holosun RDS
BUISs
Streamlight TLR-3
Magpul clone AFG
Keymod picatinny rails

I pre-loaded the included clone 33 round magazine, two Glock OEM 33 round mags, one Glock OEM G19 mag and a clone G19 mag with a mixture of WWB 115 and Blazer Brass 124.  120 rounds total, no issues, the weapon ran flawlessly.  I'm no super marksman, but I was able to keep all shots in center mass at 25 yards and 15 yards.

It was a fun range trip and the weapon behaved well.

I recently ordered and received a new 604 type upper from Fulton Armory and now it definitely looks more correct for a Colt SMG clone. I'm leaving it as a pistol until I can decide if I want to do the paperwork to make it a SBR

I've run into this issue as well, it was really bad, damm near took a hammer to operate.  I just ended up cutting a coil or so off the detent spring and she flips smooth even some thou rounds later....not too tight, not too loose.  I had to do the same with the pivot pin as well just to give her the right tension, seems the detent well was just not quite deep enuff. YMMV

I just updated my old RRA A4 9mm carbine with Magpul SL and SL-K buttstock summer last year.

This carbine I built myself way back in 2006 using a complete RRA upper half, stripped RRA lower receiver, RRA internal parts, Hahn Precision mag block, Bravo Company mil-spec size buffer tube, Daniel Defense EZ-CAR 7 drop-in rails (no longer being made), Magpul XTM rail panels, Viking Tactics light mount, Surfire M2 light, GG&G SFG-1 short vertical grip, Magpul original MBUS rear sight, Stag Arms ambi selector, Daniel Defense loop receiver end plate sling mount, Colt 32rd mag and Specter Gear MOUT 1 point sling (only adapter shown).

At first during 100 to 200 rounds fired there were some stoppages, but after that it had been very reliable, sometimes I use some older C Products stainless with black finish 32 rd mags and it works fine too.

Well, that seemed to work.  I cut a couple coils off, now it's a bit stiff, but MUCH better.  I sort of feel like an idiot for not thinking of it myself, but I guess that's why I come here.  To avail myself of other people's expertise.    Thanks!

Plan on adding a red dot (RMR or similar) and a surefire after tax time.

Props on creativity.  I don't want one for myself, but if you were at my local range, I would definitely stare at you awkwardly and then give you a thumbs up when you looked over.  Nice to see something that's truly unique and not just another "custom" PSA upper and lower slapped together.

Looks like you should be able to pop out the takedown and pivot pins and lift the upper straight off?  If it still gets caught up on the hammer, try it with the hammer back.

Yeah, I'm "that guy" at the range.  Everything turns into a custom ("geek") project.  I have (or had, before the boating accident) two Spikes zombie head lower 300 blackout pistols with all of the duracoat camo done in overlapping, different size biohazard symbols; a Cthulhu rifle in 5.56 covered completely in Lovecraft quotes, literally dyed into the polymer with RIT; an grey-alien themed rifle with camo done in sci-fi theme, other weird stuff too.  Basically, I am preparing for any EOTW scenario...aliens, rise of the Old Ones, zombiepocalypse, etc.  I will probably do up my RFB in a Rise of the Machines theme.

As far as getting it apart, it's super close, but just won't quite pop apart, even with the hammer back.  Oh well, lesson learned.  If I ever SBR it, I would probably swap that out with a Hera CQB Front Grip anyway.  More sci-fi looking, even if it's kind of a piece of crap.  I own a couple (bought them to try them out), but they made the polymer way too thin.  When you tighten it down on the rail, parts of it actually flare out.  Would be fine on this range toy though.

Here's the archived thread for the Cthulhu gun.  It's got a different optic on it now (Vortex Strike Eagle).  Hated that Burris one, and sold it.

Changed out the upper to one with a port door for the .22lr deflector.  Put a TLR-1s on there as well.

Pretty basic compared to most of the other images folks have posted, but dang... I love look'n at it.



PSA complete 8 inch Mlok upper w/Hybrid BCG/CH
PSA complete Glock lower.
Sightmark Ultra Shot Plus Reflex Sight
Cheap Amazon flip-ups
ETS mag(s)
Shockwave blade brace (added after I got the lower).
Bravo company picatinny Mlok section for bipod (for sighting in, will likely move it and mount a light/laser one day)

Lots to workout on this thing, but there it is.
