The new M5 in 6.5CM is FINALLY done! First freedom seed will go down the barrel this coming Friday morning. Thanks to everyone who gave me the advise I needed to get her done right. #suckitVA

These were some of my favorite items from Aero, but they haven't been in stock whenever I've checked, are they still in production?

Memorial sale at rokinprecision.com if you are looking to make your solus a folder!

That was such a sick fucking handguard dude. Rigid ass lockup. Steel QD holes. Aero was starting to climb into a higher echelon and it seems like it lasted for what felt like a moment and now you dont see those rails anywhere. I saw one for sale at a gun show in PA a month ago but otherwise no dice really. Id love to get an 11.7 Kodiak rail in my hands if I could. Also here's my M4E1 Pro. I like to shoot the fuck out of it before stripping it to bones to clean it for 3 hours and rebuild it once per day. Im just stimming if I dont ill start screeching and throwing things around the room.

First, shout out to u/aero-precision for the help getting my Solus chassis issue straightened out. Second, I know, I need to paint the room just havent gotten around to it despite having the paint lol.

Now, for the bolt gun. I'll start off by saying I should have bought a complete action, the Weatherby 307 Builders to be exact, as that would have run me $600 flat but figured I could do it for cheaper if I pieced it together. I was wrong.

I ordered a Remington 700 stripped barreled action from Brownells for about $264 and an Outlier 24in 6.5CM barrel for about $290. I knew i wasnt keeping the remington barrel because i wanted a 6.5CM. I get the barreled action from my FFL and get home to take the barrel off. To my surprise, it is incredibly difficult to get off but i manage with some minor scuffingnto the barrel's bluing. The first three pictures show what I saw upon removing the barrel. The TL:DR is Brownells offered to take it back but I opted to keep it due to the barrel bluing being messed up.

I cleaned up the action and removed the rust best I could, which are the next three pictures. Bownells said the action could be cleaned up and still usable. I then blued the threads (next two pictures) because the thought of the rust had me freaking out.

Once all that was taken care of, my Outlier barrel came in. I ordered a Solus Competition 17in chassis ($739), Timney trigger ($130), MDT 0.315" recoil lug ($40), and a Nightforce 20moa rail ($59) from Midway. I also bought a Christensen Arms complete bolt assembly ($350) off Ebay.

I finally had everything I needed to get going and then I had an absolute nightmare with the shimming for the Solus but made it happen. I happen to have thicker shims I bought so I used a total of 4, 2 on the front and 2 on the rear, for the action screws. The optic, Athlon Argos BTR Gen 3 ($300), i had on a different bolt gun i am not using so I used that to "compete" the gun. I used a Truglo bipod ($55) to finish it off and the last picture is the result. I have a Trybe muzzle brake ($53) on the way from OP to top it off.

I couldn't get the ejector out of my CA bolt assembly but I have a Remington 308 rig so I grabbed the bot out of there and started the headspelacing with that. The CA bolt assemblies drop into the Remington actions and didnt require any fitting. I had a mother of a time getting the headspace right as it was closing on the no go gauge i had so i did a field gulauge and it checked out with that.

So for a grand total of $2280, a metric crap ton of sweat, tears, and worry, my "budget" build is complete.

The Solus chassis is REALLY nice and you get a good chassis with no hidden costs (i.e. buttstocks, grips, etc.) like you do with other chasses.

Got an email from AR15Discounts saying they’re back in stock. I’m local and was offered to pick up locally which lets me know they really are in stock. Hope this helps someone!!

I am looking for a 12” FDE enhanced HG. Anyone have a local shop that has one that I could contact?

I am very happy with how my Aero Precision M4E1, .300 AAC Blackout AR Pistol build turned out! This is a 7.5" barrel, and it's going to be called "The Reaper #2! Would you change anything?

Looking to make my range AR more home defense capable. Just upgraded the upper on my Radical Rf15 now looking to add a suppressor and light without breaking the bank. Looking at the YH Turbo T3

Final part for my 8” .300 BLK came in today. I’m going to adjust the gas block and sight this Wednesday. I have a Streamlight 1L-X Pro on the way and I’m planning on getting an Omega 300 for it in the near future. Would like to hear your thoughts and recommendations.

Finally got to see what the Spiritus is all about. It’s actually quieter than the Lazarus6 which surprised me. Very happy with it.
