Actually, my first Aero anything.  Started with the stripped lower, then grabbed parts as they came up on special.  So, how did I do?  Its all Aero except for:

Magpul Pro sights
M4S with Larue mount
AXTS Raptor with FDE wings
Surefire Warcomp
Timney Trigger
Magpul STR and K2+

I'm going to play with the Aimpoint for a while but will probably switch over to a Leupold 4-14 at some point.  (the one in the box under the rifle...)

Rifle



Warcomp was easy to time, only took 2 tries!  


Spacing on between the rail and mounted suppressor.  (16" barrel, obviously)

I like. Nice work. After getting the bugs worked out I love my aero build.

Damn nice looking rifle... I put an ACOG TA11E on one of my builds and a Leupold MK IV 4.5-14x50 on the other. Only issues have been broken bolt catches.

Thanks guys!  I've read about the broken bolt catch issues, I'm a little skeered...  Otherwise I do like the fit and finish of everything, AP seems to manufacture some nice stuff.  I'm pissed I missed out on the burnt bronze builders set.  (assuming they don't add more)

Funny you mention that...  I have a TA11E on a SCAR17 that I recently SBRd.  I was thinking of maybe moving the ACOG to the Aero rifle, this Aimpoint to the SCAR and then using the scope for something else.  Decisions, decisions.

I just ordered two bolt catches from DPMS. Have one installed... time will tell. I was initially torn between a red dot or a scope... so I built two to solve my problem...lol.

Looks great.  I'm working on a similar Aero M5 FDE build, same receivers and 15" M-lok handguard.  This gives me a good idea of how mine will look.
