I think I'm set for all the builds that I want to put on the lower that I recently assembled. |
| Also protip if you order from RCA, and don’t care much about mis-lasered logos, order the blem BCGs. They’re usually in stock and if not they are usually no more than a week or two wait, the savings is worth the possible delay. |

Here's 2 that I recommend that are pretty affordable. They look a bit like the Geisselle MK16 MLOK rails. I'm gonna grab a couple and chop them for a 12.5" barrel (cut rail to 11.5") and 14.5" barrel (cut rail to 13.5") Aero M5 uppers. Your 16" is pretty good for an all-around AR-10/.308 As for the muzzle device, it'll depend on what supressor you end up getting. I like the Surefire 3 prong 7.62 SOCOM flash hiders. It'll be cheaper to just use the Aero M5 upper you have compared to buying a complete new upper assembly https://ar15discounts.com/products/nbs-ar-10-high-profile-free-float-m-lok-handguard-15/ https://shop.windhamweaponry.com/product/windham-weaponry-15-free-float-handguard-for-ar-15-dpms-style/ https://www.rooftopdefense.com/product/surefire-socom-7-62-flash-hider-5-8x24/ Excellent, thanks for the links! |

Also, I replaced my Superlative Arms adjustable gas block with a Riflespeed - single biggest upgrade I think I've made to the rifle. Way easier to adjust the gas, and way easier to switch between suppressed and unsuppressed without needing to dig out a special tool to do it, and count clicks. I'd put the Superlative block up for sale, but I couldn't sell it in good conscious...it's just not good compared to the Riflespeed

I really hate to see Aero in the predicament that they’re in… the M5 seemed to be the go-to DPMS/SR-25 pattern build. I have one complete rifle that I’ve only just run through a function test and another upper that a friend wants to buy. It sucks but it is what it is… |

Attached File Finally remembered to take a pic of my 12in SBR. It is a Rainier Arms barrel, and Noveske rail with mostly Aero Parts. It has a Primary Arms 1-10, and an SDN6 that was converted by Ecco Machine. I'm going to try to get a deer with it this year. James |

Mines all Aero except the barrel. Have a WC 18” bull. After reading the other comments I’m already rethinking it due to weight |

Well now I'm really glad I built my green M5 thing in 2024.Attached File |
