Aero Precision .308 rifles

[Musashi]

Anybody here running one? The sales emails are coming hot and heavy and you can build one in pieces from Aero and it is cheaper than buying a full rifle from them, go figure...
I am curious is anyone has one of the 18" barreled uppers and your thoughts on it precision-wise and if it plays nice suppressed.

One of these - http://aeroprecisionusa.com/m5e1-308-18-cmv-complete-upper.html and one of these - http://aeroprecisionusa.com/m5-b5-sopmod-complete-lower-fde-fde.html along with their BCG.

It's hell to have money and a little bit of time on your hands this week!

Do Tell
WE were discussing this yesterday. I'm wanting a RPR in .308. However these deals on uppers & lowers R's in .308 are really trying my will power.

Try not having any money and no time.

Well you just need to not tell the wife.

I am running one. actually almost 2..... It's an awesome gun now.... I had some problem with it, but I was an early adopter. Aero did stand behind their product and this is why now I have enough parts to finish my second one. If you build one I would strongly suggest you get a DPMS SASS barrel. The precision of this barrel is excellent.

My ol lady doesn't care, it's the lack of $$ that makes it more difficult. Hell she probably has more of an ammo stash then most board members.

I have a complete lower that I've put together so far. I'm waiting for more money to come in to get the rest of the parts.

[Musashi]

Well I think the lower may be ordered today since they are not sold out and then grab one of those Geissele sale specials and I am in business.
Oh yeah the wife doesn't really care either she just rolls her eyes a lot.

I just completed a build with an 18" Ballistic Advantage premium barrel. I haven't had a chance to get it to the range yet. I'll send you an update after the weekend if the weather isn't too bad. It looks good. Guess we'll see how well I follow instructions.

Subscribed..... got m5e upper handguard and lower set from santa

[DeadElephant]

Just finished building my M5. Straight forward. You need their take down and lower pin. Not sure if anything else is proprietary or not. I've only shot a few rounds this last weekend and suffered enough snow blindness that I called it good. No issues at this time but haven't shot it enough to give a good recommendation. Awesome prices with the sales! No issues with order or shipping.
