Not looking for anything to fancy...at most $1500

Prefer 6.5creed or .308 the shorter the barrel the better and must be threaded

Mainly lookin for aero precision or even their builder kit

LMK
Thanks

You can always build your own for that much. I built 2 for ~$1300 each. Aero receivers, Criterion barrel, Brownells BCG, and LaRue trigger.
 
I build a nice, but not fancy Aero M5-based AR10 in 6.5 CM a few months ago and spent significantly more than $1,300. Including shipping and taxes, well over $2k. Either I'm not that great at shopping or pricing has gone up. Here is a parts list with pricing for reference:

Finding parts wasn't easy, but it also wasn't impossible. It took a couple months to get everything together.

Any interest in a M&P 10 in 308 (not the cheaper built sport version) ?
It's brand new, unfired. Nice ambidextrous controls built in. Only thing it doesn't have is the threaded barrel. I got it with the unthreaded version since it was a heavier profile than their threaded pencil barrels, but had a custom Witt Machine clamp on muzzle brake made for it.
Let me know if you're interested.
Thanks
 
I am second owner of a rattle-canned & gently used Rock River LAR-8 that would come in well under your budget. Would include the ACOG TA55 mounted on it for a couple hundred over what that optic sells for new. Sent it back to RR for them to install a free float rail and agb (SLR I think). Runs great with my TBAC Ultra 7. Only reason I’m thinking about selling it is I ran across a great deal on a new LWRC REPR and probly should recoup some of that cost. Shoot me a pm if interested. Here’s a pic before I had the free float rail installed....I still have the Magpul MOE forend, fsb and crappy bipod that came with it too.

Your BCG and stock are way more $$$ than what I used. I also got the lowers for $100 during sales. But I agree it does take time and effort to round up everything.

I have a full aero m5 build

18" threaded

Upper, lower, and hand guard are FDE

Stock is the luth-ar

I can get pics tomorrow after hockey, approximately 12 noon est.

I'd say no more than 500 rounds. I've had for almost 2 years and never shoot it.

1450 shipped ffl to ffl

Edit to ad:
It's a 308 rifle length gas
