My local FFL's won't order Aero because there is not enough markup. No Mega's in stock and I found a CMMG lower for $275.
Slim picking here.

aero- i bought them on sale but it was ~$300 for the upper and lower shipped (the upper came assembled with door and FA). Megas are sexy as heck but at half the price, im happy with what i have. PSAs receivers are too plain (plus theirs the geissele trigger issue)

Just keep in mind that there are no standards as to parts commonality like there are in the AR15 world.
You really have to know what you're doing with the .308's. The Seekins and Lancer large frame AR's are some of the coolest, latest, most innovative receivers yet. I would like to see the aftermarket make billet set answers to the GII, as well as the BCG and Barrel extension. Seekins SP-10 
Lancer L-30 
Freedom Group GII 7.76lbs

I ended up getting an Aero upper/lower. A local FFL did the transfer for $75. Well that FFL closed down a few weeks after I picked mine up. My CCW has slowed down my build but I will have a .308 gun eventually. Looking at a Fortis rail and a Rainier Arms match barrel.

I'd like to see a matrix of parts compatibility. I have an early CMMG lower from 2008 or 2009 that needs to be turned into a rifle.
I'm hesitant to buy a complete CMMG upper and I don't care much for their configuration, and DPMS assembled uppers are close, but exactl what I want. I may have to buy an upper reciever and a barrel blank to get what I want. |
