    This was the first trip to the range with them today, I'm not sure I enjoy the 10.5" upper. I might either switch to a 16" 300 BLK barrel or go to a different caliber. Either option needs a dedicated lower. I may have set myself up to not like it by shooting the 7.5" first.

    All of them used TRUGLO Dual Color Open Red Dot optics, I need to pick up some scopes for the 16" 5.56 and for the 18" Grendel AR that I'm building. The 7.5" was the most fun to shoot and has solidified itself as my home defense AR. The 7.5" and 16" both have brackets for a brass catcher, need to order a few more of them to have on hand.

    Ok, I'll be the first to say it. Where are the feet?????????????

    just finished putting together an Aero M5 with 18" BA fluted barrel and Atlas handguard. Came together for a very reasonable cost with a couple parts-bin things and "black friday" sales everywhere. Have to sight it in, and see how it shoots still, but high hopes.

    I'm currently being jumped on by my 2 year old as I post this, so I'm trying to keep it short and sweet...that being said, I'll write out specs on request! But I figure we can always use some more pretty pictures!

    Not an ar15 but I put this together yesterday from a kit I bought on sale on Black Friday and some stuff I had laying around. Stuck an extra vortex strike eagle I had on it. Diamondback Arms DB10. Now to get time to shoot it.

    Gotta say, I am very pleased with how this gun turned out. Took it out for the first time at the range yesterday, and it was just a revelation of how a well-built rifle can run. The optic, in particular, is just awesome in terms of how bright it was - I was running it in 1.5x as a red dot, and it did just fine with the sun reflecting on my target. Never seen an optic do quite that well before in terms of illumination in a tough environment.

    Upper parts list:
    Aero Enhanced Upper
    Aero 7" Quantum MLOK handguard
    AA 11" 6.5G Barrel
    AA Enhanced Bolt in Bootleg Carrier (mil-spec BCG parts otherwise)
    YHM integrated folding FS GB (I really like these, even if they're old-school)
    SiCo Hybrid on ASR MB mount
    Burris XTR II DFP 1.5-8x CQ-MIL in LaRue LT-204
    MBUS Pro rear BUIS

    Lower parts list:
    Enage Billet Lower
    Blackhawk Offset Safety Selector
    Phase5 Ambi Bolt-Catch Lever
    Geiselle SSA-E
    Magpul MOE+ pistol grip
    Mil-spec buffer/spring/extension
    PWS Ratcheting Endplate
    Magpul ACS-L Stock
