I thought I was going to but once I get everything set it works like a champ. The only thing I shouldve paid attention to is the bar for the ejection port cover, it's like 1/16" too long, when torquing the barrel nut I ended up bending it. Hindsight I shouldve just shaved it down.
very nice. I am steadily assembling my first LR-308. Aero upper and lower. Brownell's BCG. No other parts acquired yet. I am leaning towards a fluted HBAR 18" barrel from Classic Firearms. Good price and I've had excellent luck with their barrels. I don't know what to do about the handguard. Options seem to be eBay, but not the lightest and not in the lengths I want. Aero, which they seem to make quality ones, but not cheap. Or super expensive and shave an ounce or two.
Dunno. I really want it done, because I want to get to shooting it. On the other hand, eh. I am more than happy to wait and get the parts I want when they are on sale

Be cautious of the brownells Nitrided .308 Bolts. I have seen several cases of them headspacing short.
Good point. I opted to purchase some go/no go gauges to be safe. The idea of a controlled explosion next to my face.. I want to reduce risks.
Good to know. I’ll make sure to check.
I’ve got one of their 5.56 BCGs and it headspaced perfectly and runs great.

I'll be honest with you. The Aero M5 handguard is not my cup of tea. I built an AR10 using the M5 handguard and I knew right then that it felt wrong in my hands. The size, finish, something didn't feel right with it. If you want to check one out, let me know and you can get the optic I have waiting for you.
I kind of like it, though it's my first free float, everything else i have is magpul

Trust me. Wait till you get your hands on something else. You'll see that there is better out there.
