NickZX10 Location: Snohomish County Joined: Tue May 20, 2014 Posts: 52 Real Name: Nick	New AR-10 Finally got around to putting my AR-10 lower to use. I think it turned out well. Unfortunately I'm having quite a few issues with it and will have to send a few of the parts back to Aero. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

They usually run about $350 + tax. The weight savings seem decent enough! The FSB/gas block is a Yankee Hill Machine part number #YHM-9395. I bought the M5 completed upper receiver which just had the dust cover and forward assist already installed, barrel and gas system was assembled by me.

I took aesthetic cues from a friend that built a similar rifle and his original goal was to make it look like an FAL jukk0u wrote: That front sight reminds me of the COLT 901. You are absolutely right, I just looked up that rifle and it does look very similar.

Sweet, can you tell me what length barrel and hand-guard that is? The Barrel is Aero's 20" .308 .750 profile barrel, Handguard is 12.75" but its only designated "Rifle Length" on their website.

Either the barrel or the upper receiver is completely out of alignment. When the two parts are mated to each other the muzzle is about 1/4"-3/8" to the right, off center. I checked, rechecked, and checked again before assembling everything to make sure everything looked good before throwing the parts together. No obstructions where the barrel sits, barrel nut went on fine, threads matched up and everything. When looking down the rails on the upper receiver there seems to be a slight bend. I don't really know how to fix it, it seems quite a bit off for anything I'd be comfortable working on. I already e-mailed Aero, just waiting to hear back.

If Aero tell's me to kick rocks, that's exactly what I am going to do. Figured I'd see what they say first.
