I'm not big on proprietary stuff that locks me out of options. As much as I love Aero, I would have gotten the standard threaded M4E1 upper receiver.
Not meant to be a downer, just being honest. |

Not meant to be a downer, just being honest. View Quote Attached File Agreed. The handguard using the ATLAS deal is a bitch, you're stuck using it unless you change out the barrel nut. Also, the Aero ATLAS handguard is too small ID for any rifle suppressor. So. Lesson learned. Great otherwise. |

View Quote Not trying to put words in his mouth, but I think he meant if you dont like the barrel, just build another upper. Your lower is g2g and you can have a dozen different uppers for the lower and just swap around. |

But my own personal neuroses and quirks wont let me build anything else until that unfinished lower is finished |

Looks great, and good choices on parts.
If, you should ever want a softer recoil pad... ( and I realize 5.56 isn't harsh ) https://limbsaver.com/products/magpul-sl-stock-recoil-pad |

Build the new lower as a braced pistol
now you can have 7 inch 300 blackout uppers |

I hear they're way louder. Anyone have any first hand experience with the difference in volume? Not that loudness is a decision factor for me. Just curious about the difference. |

I am toying with the idea of an AR pistol. I hear they're way awesome. Anyone have any first hand experience with the difference in awesomeness? Not that awesome is a decision factor for me. Just curious about the awesome.

Seems they may be trying to re-define the term “semi automatic” into a waaay more subjective definition. |

Pistols are way more awesome and way more loud, suppressors are next!

It depends on what the "pistol" is chambered in and the length of barrel, when it comes to loudness.

Not that awesome is a decision factor for me. Just curious about the awesome. View Quote Pistols in 556 are crazy loud fire-breathers. Go over to 300BLK subs instead. It can still be a bit obnoxious at an indoor range, but as others have said, pistols are way more fun! |

View Quote 300blk isn't that loud. even supers use quick burning powder unlike 5.56 a 5.56 pistol is a part time flamethrower and distraction device at the range. they are fun to shoot, not so much fun to be next to when they are shot. |

The deuce you say.

I dont get this whole load, fireball thing. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. A 10.3 and 3 11.5's and that's never been my experience. I was even talking up the flame thrower effect when I built my girlfriend the 10.3 with a flashcan. When we first shot it we we were both kind of let down at the lack of flames. If I remember right I got "I thought there was going to be fire?! I think it's a bit over stated. My hearing isn't the best, but shooting suppressed with my 11.5 and one of my 14.5s, I don't notice much if any difference using no ear pro and the 14.5 is more conservatively gassed (neither is over gassed). Just my experience
