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.

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. |

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... View Quote |

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. |

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. |

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.

Poorly thought out on my part. Looks cool though. 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. Cthulhu Rifle |
