Locally Rainier Arms and Aero are pretty much the leaders in the industry..

I have bought and sold and built lots. 2 things that are very nice to have is a closed trigger guard and a screw in bolt catch. Takes 2 of the bigger issues that a lot of the first time builders I sell to have. 1 breaking ears on the guard hammering the roll pin in. 2 scratching and marring the receiver trying to press in or pound in the both catch roll pin.
Just about finished up with my first build, ill be shooting tomorrow. Getting that damn pin in the gas block was the biggest pain for me.

Aero Precision! Nuff said!:yeah:

Oh yeah on the upper that is the biggest pain for sure. Lots of companies have so many variables. I bought a drill set just for them and run the bit through the hole and true up every one I build. Also a roll pin punch that has a inlet on one side for starting and a dimple on the other to finish seating it really makes life easier if a guy is doing a bunch of them.

This is my AR 10 with a Aero lower. I have a .223 in a rifle and pistol plus a 300 black out all with Anderson Arms lowers. The only problem I had with the Anderson lowers is a bad trigger on my first one. They replaced it for free. Haven't shot the 10 yet.

Sweet look in rifle there Bango.She will serve you well.If you don't mind me asking .Did you buy the parts right from aero or some other place.
I know i bought the handguard straight from aero. And i think also the gas tube and lower parts kit. But the stripped lower i believe i ordered from brownells, and the stripped upper i dont recall who i ordered from. I was out on the boat for 5 weeks and just started ordering all kinds of crap from a bunch of different places, reading how-to stuff the whole time to figure out what all parts and tools i would need. This was really just a major impulse project.

Let me know next time I have a few places that you can get aero stuff for cheaper than buying from aero . Some company buy so much aero stuff they get discounts and pass it on to the customers.But again sweet look in build .There is something about building yourself that just feels good. :tup: :tup:Sweet look in rifle there Bango.She will serve you well.If you don't mind me asking .Did you buy the parts right from aero or some other place.

Went with stripped lower and upper from aero.
Is that like a 35" barrel? :chuckle:
Post by: NitRally on April 12, 2020, 12:51:22 AM
I will only use Aero M4E1 Enhanced ( Upper / Lowers ) from now on . The built in trigger guard and set screws instead of roll pins is worth it
Agreed I built 2 aero lowers (blemished lowers but I couldnt find a scratch) and they operate flawlessly

20" :rolleyes: funny how thats middle of the road at best on a bolt gun, but suddenly outrageous for an ar. Just wait until i get my can, itll look really long then.
