[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Oh, Aero Precision.. (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 3/7/2022 6:51:24 PM EDT

I started surfing the Aero Precision website to order all of the parts I'd need to build an AR-10 in .243. I'd already made the decision to order a Shilen barrel with a supplied bolt and an aftermarket trigger was already on the list. Their website kept having problems and I decided to click on the chat button.

#40Fan: I'm looking to build an AR in .243 and would like to purchase everything but the barrel, bolt and trigger from you. Having issues navigating the website without running into errors. Can you help me out?
AP Helper: Hello
AP Helper: We do not male parts for the .243
AP Helper: unfortunately
#40Fan: I plan to buy the barrel myself. Everything else you have for the .308, will work.
#40Fan: But, if I have to tell you that....I'm probably shopping at the wrong place.

Maybe I should have worded my first sentence different, saying "I'm looking to build an AR-10 and would like to purchase everything but the barrel, bolt or trigger" and the AP helper wouldn't have been confused.

Maybe if you asked for 6mm Creedmoor, instead of 243, they would have taken you seriously.

Meh…

I asked a guy at the gun counter for 7.65 Browning and he had the blank stare for a minute. Then I said 32 ACP and it finally clicked. We all get brain farts once in a while.

That kinda thing happens every time I talk to someone that sells guns. I went to a local gun store with a buddy Saturday and had to correct the counter guy several times when he was getting guns out for my friend.

For a few minutes at Perry last summer, I had a RRA upper, rail, and .243 barrel in my hand. Dirt cheap. Can't remember the specifics, but it was going to be stupid inexpensive.

I was VERY tempted, but chose to pass. Probably shouldn't have.

I helped a guy at Lowe's the other day in the plumbing section.

I don't work at Lowe's.

He thanked me for being more helpful than the Lowe's plumbing guy.

He asked if I was a plumber, which I took offense to, but I did kind of look like a plumber at the time so I let it slide.

Aero Precision lost a customer, but wasn't really a customer anyway.

In before Arfcom loses a customer too (when OP realizes his epic fail).

I usually start the answer off with "I doubt it....... I am looking for something not designed for an inappropriate build."

usually shuts them the hell up

I dunno, Aero's website is pretty simple to navigate... I can see a potato having a problem navigating a very simple site.

Will you remove my comments on social media too? Will you have me banned from forums when I post negative feedback? What is going to be your reply when I file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau?

I’d have posted the whole original thing but I didn’t want it to be considered copypasta and catch another warning for that.

I placed an order for a SD Rifle and few other items to use up my 35%coupon was going to sell them for a profit. I had already sent them a list of processing problems during my FFL shipping confirmation communication which pissed them off.

Nick asked if I wanted to cancel my order replied with a no and that I would tell him if I wanted it cancelled. His next action was to cancel it and said he was issuing a refund.

Geissele would and still does not reply to my phone calls or emails so I filed a complaint with the BBB which is waiting for Geissele's response. I sent the BBB the entire email thread as evidence.

Geissele deleted the thread in the Industry Forum that listed several posts how Geissele deletes bad reviews....guess they didn't like the criticism so they deleted the entire thread listing the examples. They don't respond and don't want to honor the 35% off coupons from their BFS clown show.

I just want to know why no one is stocking anything other than 15" + large frame handguards.

I'm wanting something smaller and SLR is the only thing available. I would FO but the point was that it was a "low cost" build.

I wonder if OP has assembled a lower in the past 20 years? Does he understand how the trigger guard can open up? How often has he sled down the Yamas while he was stationed along the DMZ?

These are the important questions.
