I have avoided AR 10 platform for many years now, preferring M-14 and FN Fal rifles I have worked with over the years after campaigning a custom HK91 from the early 80s in early practical rifle competitions.
But a couple weeks ago I found a LGS was selling these Aero M5 enhanced built lowers for $150 because of the California intimidation factor - no body is building ARs ! So I am taking it to my son's, and soon to be my residence , in Oregon , and have ordered the following to be sent there: M5 e1 enhanced upper receiver with a 15" M lok enhanced float fore end , an Aero .308 buffer tube ensemble , a Criterion 18.5" stainless Lightweight barrel DPMS pattern, an Aero Nickle Boron BCG and a JP adjustable gasblock and JP flash hider. I havent decided what stock to put on it yet.
I want to keep the weight down to the 7 pound or less range unscoped as this is a hunting weapon. I think I will put my Leupold VXR firedot 2-7 on it . I needed this like a hole in my head but my better heeled Dr. son will buy it from me when I get too old to use it Pictures FROM OREGON WHERE IT IS LEGAL shall follow in about a month.
