Upper and Lower from Aero Precision

After recieving my parts kit and getting the FCG together etc I come to the bolt catch and this is what I find.

Got the new bolt cath from PSA and finised out the LPK

Got the buffer tube and stock

Dust Cover and Forward Assist

This is currently where the rifle stands:

Just need to get the rest of my parts and my first AR will be done.

I really like that color! But is it just me or does the right side wall of the lower look thicker to anyone else? I have been staring at the picture for like 5 minutes and not sure if my mind is playing tricks on me or if it just the angle of the picture. Either way good looking build sir!

Did you order the upper and lower painted that color from Aero Precision or a dealer. Or did you paint it yourself?

Sorry but just out of hospital and that misspell on bolt catch made me wince a little bit

Looks like the start to a very nice build sir.

Looks good so far. I am on my second build using Aero Precision cerakoted uppers/lowers and have been very happy with their products.

Two thumbs up, man!

Updated with picture of Dust Cover, charging handle, and Bolt installed.

Bolt is a PSA NiB and chargins handle is a standard PSA and the dust cover was already shown

My thoughts are that your build is killer, and not the same old shit we see in here day in and day out!

It went together well and I even frog lubed the FCG. I'm not too sure if that helped smooth out the trigger or not as i haven't felt others. I think it is ok for a $44.99 lower kit with the MOE equipment so i'm not going to complain.

Once I get the rifle shooting I will let you know. Might put up a video going over the entire rifle.
