Mid June I was at one of my favorite LGS' and the guy who worked there kinda bullied me into an Aero LR-308 lower. I didn't protest that hard, I was more just kinda in a hurry. Anyways, Arftac was having a sale on Aero parts, and I scored an upper for <$500
I don't know why, but it seems like LR-308 stuff just doesn't come together as easily as AR-15 stuff does, and that price didn't include BCG or CH.
I generally really like getting stuff as a matched set, but that just wasn't available here.
Anyways, I want to sanity check a few things for anyone who's ever done one before:
It will use standard CAR-15 buffer tubes, but requires a LR-308 buffer that's shorter than normal? Anyone have a brand of buffer they recommend? I'm using a mil-spec stock tube. I'm going to put a magpul fixed carbine stock on it (I've decided I like these after running one on my SPR).
I'm just going to buy an Aero (or Ballistic Advantage) BCG
As for the LPK, again, I am going Aero. I was looking for the one without the trigger or grip, as I have a magpul K2, and I have a drop in trigger pack.
Muzzle device is going to be swapped out for a Breek Arms Brake with blast deflector.
Anything I'm forgetting?
