    Aero EPC-9 Enhanced Hand Guard on a Standard Upper

    Probably a dumb question. Got my stamp back for my SBR lower, also got my Dead Air Wolfman out of jail. Got the 10” Macon Armory Barrel. Hope this feeds better from Glock Mags than the Faxon Barrel does. So with the (extra provided for enhanced) barrel nut and an enhanced hand guard do...

    22 ARC

    This is weird. I am a newer hand loader and maybe a little above average shooter. Just got an AR together in .224V. Had first range day with it last weekend. Not a single load I tried shot over an inch. So this sounds like marketing. Most were 0.5-0.7” at 100, and 1-1.2 at 200. I started...

    LF AR Bolt won’t hold open with no magazine

    Rifle length. It’s two. One is locking back on the bolt carrier not the bolt. One is as described above and a 6.5CM. The other is .308.

    LF AR Bolt won’t hold open with no magazine

    I put a heavy buffer and tubs flat wire spring in tonight and it functions just fine. I am going to call JP next week. Both have JP SCS. I didn’t notice until your picture, and looking at some 15’s the other was not catching on the front of bolt, but the bolt carrier. The JP SCS isn’t...

    224V JP SCS Set-Up

    I am rolling my own. I will try the stiffer spring and add a heavy buffer then. I am rolling my own. 26gr CFE223 and an 80/80.5 Berger or ELDM was what I was shooting. I have 90 Berger’s and 88 ELDMs also. Thanks for the advice

    Geissele and Larue trigger question

    So I have been playing with triggers lately trying to shrink groups. This means for me swapping some triggers back and forth between rifles. My triggers that I have been working with: Geissele National Match High Speed Geissele SSA-E Geissele G2S Larue MBT-2S RRA National Match Varmint Not...

    Lower Parts Kit Preferences

    I like the “whoops” kit they offer also. For just milspec they are fairly local to me and have a large stocking dealer. Can always get what I want, with a veterans discount, and not wait.

    Largest scope for performance and symmetry on a small frame AR.

    Thanks. That cost me my gun allowance. I like the MAD flip up sites. Had to get a set and a rail to try on a build.

    Lower Parts Kit Preferences

    What’s wrong with them when you get them minus the FCG? It’s a bag of small parts and springs at that point (yes plus mag release and last round hold open also). They are a totally mil spec kit. I install them even into higher brand billet uppers (LMT and GGP). But I only run Geissele or...

    Lower Parts Kit Preferences

    Agree with a lot of people above. Whatever I can get without a trigger and grip. For me Inhave a local dealer that stocks a lot of Aero stuff. I always have a few “whoops” parts kits on hand at home also. That’s for when you shoot a tiny spring across the room. Buy one of each. Pick your...

    Largest scope for performance and symmetry on a small frame AR.

    Top firearm, Vortex Viper PST 3-15x44 SFP on a small frame .224V build. I like this for size. This has a Bartlien Barrel in an Aero set, Larue MBT-2S trigger. Bottom firearm, Nightforce SHV 5-20x56 SFP on a large frame 6.5CM build. Swapping this to my .22 trainer for a Vortex Viper PST Gen 2...

    Largest scope for performance and symmetry on a small frame AR.

    What is the rail used to mount these two scopes? I like that it lets you lower the scope to the bore line by using regular rings. Thanks in advance. I couldn't see markings on either one. Nice rigs.

    Aero Precision AR-10 BCG warranty claim

    Have you taken it apart, fully lubricated it, I mean oil the hell out of it, and run it for a while. Large frame ARs need lots of lube and break in. I had this same problem with a higher priced BCG. That’s what I did to fix it. You also didn’t mention which level of BCG as far as finish...

    Hunting rifle

    Including the bears (as a western hunter who has harvested multiple Elk), I would consider something starting at .338WM as a start. Even for elk I hear a lot of stories and have met plenty of people who have lost 6.5CM shot Elk. Personal opinion on that is poor bullet selection (match/ELDX...

    NXS 5.5-22 50 -vs- NX8 2.5-20 50 Both SFP

    So I am partial to SFP as I don’t like the size of the reticle changing. No PRS here just a friendly club comp out to 600, sometimes just 300. I also am partial to a true cross hair center sighting point. I really like the NX8 but it has the dot center point. Buying through the mil program...

    Rainier Ultra Match vs CLE Douglas vs JP 6.5 Grendel Barrel?

    No. It was an add on after building the barrel. It wasn’t on the build a barrel choice until you went to check out. To be clear. Again. I didn’t have a problem paying it. Brought it up to let folks know the prices on web site were actually higher.

    Grey Ghost Precision Barrel Nut Fitment

    On a Proof CF AR-10 barrel. Barrel was thermally fit to the upper. ID of barrel nut is 1.170ish, and OD of Proof CF 6.5CM Barrel Shank is 1.200. I have the GGP 18” hand guard that barrel came with? Suggestions? Thinking of finding a machine shop to take .004 out of barrel nut. Want a...

    JP SCS H2 Spring for .224V

    May be a dumb question. I have a JP SCS H2 for a build. Mega upper and lower, head spaced bolt, adjustable gas block and a Barg CLE 224V 22” barrel. Any suggestions on which of the 5 springs to start? Have a spare steel and tungsten weight to tune. Want to push a bit on velocity and not...
