Wrong. As is 90% of the crap you spew.

You are no mechanic that's for sure. I have had instances where I have had to make my own variation of a tool to complete a job. It takes more than a forum junkie to do that. Just forget about it. You will hurt you brain if you think to hard. And on that note I'm out of here!
I went the Aero M5 route a few years ago, was not very pleased with their CS about accuracy issues and the fact their BA bbl's were (no idea if still) morbidly over gassed. I sold it and got an SR-25 and a Seekins SP10.
For what it is worth, the Seekins can be found for like $2400 and less (dealer cost is just under $2,200 as info), especially on places like Sniper Hide and is a much better platform than than Aero. Yes, they cost more, but are 100% ambi, have better barrels, warranty, MD's, rails, stock, etc.....than Aero. Also, the modern SP10s are SR25 pattern receivers versus DPMS stuff.
I know you have parts coming in, but if you run into issues with that Aero, I would suggest leaning towards Seekins.
They are the best value large frame guns on the market.

Not looking to spend a ton of money on this build. To be honest, this rifle will probably perform better than me. It will be basically for plinking and maybe a little hog hunting if I get the opportunity.
Total cost of the build will be in the $800 range. Upper and lower are basically Aero. Barrel is BCA I believe. I have a Timney trigger but haven't decided if I want to use it. Optics may be a Tasco but I also have an extra Eotech 5x25 that I could put on it. Still undecided.
Hope to complete it by the end of the month but not in any rush.

If you were closer you could swing by and use my tools.

I bought a cheap PSA only because the price was so cheap I just couldn't pass it up. I replaced the barrel with a 18 inch Ballistic Advantage barrel and it shoots around .688 with ammo pictured. I am building a AR-10 now with Aero Receivers but I am getting my barrel tomorrow. It supposed to show up then. I went with a Criterion 16 inch hybrid job. I am anxious in seeing how the Criterion stacks up against the Ballistic Advantage Hanson profile. It shoots around .688 with this ammo. 40 bucks for 40 rounds at Walmart. I haven't even run Federal Gold Medal Match through it yet.

Please throw that POS BCA barrel in the trash and stop supporting that company.
Just be sure and clean the barrel out real good before installing it. You wouldn't believe some of the crap I have pulled out of new barrels.
