| Picked up some AR10 and M5 lowers a while back, and in my scrounging parts i've not found anyone who had M5 or proper longer AR10 type takedown and pivot pings actually in stock. Anyone know where they can be acquired? From what i've seen it looks like the M5 pins are a bit longer. Even an aftermarket extended pin will work for my use. |

Grab this one and you're halfway there. https://www.aeroprecisionusa.com/m5-308-takedown-pin I have no experience with the following pins, but I've always been happy with SI parts. https://www.strikeindustries.com/si-ar10-eptp.html |

Good luck getting anything from Aero. Best bet is as mentioned, use the Strike Industries pins or the CMMG parts kit. Aero being FUBAR has saved me a ton of money lol, I was on a M5 building spree all last year and finished up some builds in .243, 7mm-08, .338 Federal, and .358 Win. I'd like to see someone at Aero re-energize the product line but I think I'd be better off playing the lottery. |

Some Capital Group/Investment company acquires a gun company, then proceeds to run the company into the ground trying to squeeze every cent out of them. |

I remember when I was looking for Stag pins. I had thought that Aero pins would fit Stag recvr sets. I ordered a set from Aero. Wait wait, wait. I ordered a set from Primary Arms and got it in a week. Three months later, I received the lpk from Aero. Note, I sent them two cancellations too. Do NOT order from Aero. |
