Just throwing this out there but if you guys threw a groove on the rear of your 63 Keymo Flashhiders, certain end users could make use of regular M4/M16 BFAs and certain end users would absolutely love it if you guys did that.

A lot of guys out there really do use blanks, just look at One Shepard. They use the full MILES 2000 kit, and a lot of folks don't like having to take off their muzzle devices they use for suppressors and remount a janky A2 birdcage just to be able to use a BFA. Just a thought.

The ABC bolt release works but it rubs/ hits the upper because it’s larger than the Aero upper cut out. I used a Wilson Combat bolt release, it is S7 tool steel and melonite finished. It fits the M5 upper very well.

The EME-HC works perfectly on the M5 lower.

Other FCD items also work well on the Aero M5 receivers.

Looks great, i got word that Santa dropped off something for me today too, but I’m out of town until tomorrow, so I have to wait until I get home to see Santa’s handy work in person

Now the big question single dimple (lighter tano) or double dimple (darker tano)

@Duffy thanks for the extra surprise you bundled with the upper.

kind what i was thinking too, but a couple things may change after i pick up the URF-B v2 and LRF from cerakote tomorrow. i think the dark ano v3 upper with the RAL8000 LRF and light tano EPC will all go perfect together, just need to figure out what to do with the RAL8000 v2 upper lol

It’s not an AR post, but an FCD one - since y’all don’t have an industry section yet

A crusty old flight medic told me once, “be a duck; calm and collected on the surface, working like hell underneath as if your life depends on it - because someone else’s does”. That’s stuck with me through more than a few hard calls, so it only fits to be right at home on the NVG velcro.

So naturally, when FCD released this, it just fit. Thanks @duffy
