here's a pic of my M5 with a BA 308 barrel with the M4 feed ramps. https://i837.photobucket.com/albums/zz300/rpol98/G%20and%20A/P1020295_zpsjjq2nh2y.jpg Thanks, guess I'll have to look elsewhere. It's super easy to match the Aero feed ramps to the barrel. This is my Rainier Select 18" barrel as I was in the middle of filing the upper to match. The right feed ramp (left in the pic) is the original Aero feed ramp. 
And after 
Took about five minuets per ramp to carefully work over with a Swiss file. Then a little polishing with a felt bob on a Dremel. It's hard to get a good pic with the iPhone. It should be noted that the rifle ran just fine with the feed ramps as they were but I wanted them to match up. As the rounds are loaded from the mag they don't touch the ramp in the upper receiver. |

Someone tried to convince me I ruined my gun when I posted this.... I just dremeled it out with a stone <a href="http://s140.photobucket.com/user/myphotoswin/media/20150404_185010_zpsjjypdhfx.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r31/myphotoswin/20150404_185010_zpsjjypdhfx.jpg</a> My hat is off to you for that. I thought about using a tapered stone bit on the Dremel but didn't have the guts to try. It took a while to work up the courage to try to sneak up on it with the half-round file. |

i was just wondering, if you remove the factory black hard-coat anodize, is the exposed bare aluminum softer than the provided factory surface treatment? and subject to getting pounded by bullet tips going up the ramp? just wondering.
at the same time, i know that this is a common modification. |

Quoted: is there a lot of slop that needs to be taken up? I have a seekins lower that has the set screw and it still has some wiggle on the front takedown pin with my aero upper. Some slop is a trade off of the design. The set screw does help, if it really bothers you. |

Anybody have any leads on in stock M5 upper recievers? I need two additional for these two barrels sitting on my shelf. Aero posted in industry section that they should have the new gen 2 M5 uppers available within the next two weeks. Receiver sets were said to be months out due to back orders for the lowers which comes first before putting any on site available as sets. |

edit:
As of 4:30 EDT Sunday afternoon there are five M5 uppers in stock. As of 11:15 EDT Saturday night Aero has 21 M5 Upper Receivers in stock. http://aeroprecisionusa.com/m5-assembled-upper-receiver.html |

Guess that answered my question. Now I need a handguard, gas block, gas tube, muzzle device, and bcg, and glass, and a bazillion other things... |
Follow up on my build. I had cycling issues with mine and turns out it was the buffer. I contacted KAK Industry. President of the company responded which surprised me. He sent me one of their buffers. I installed and now it runs like a top. He was very helpful. I originally used a Radical Firearms 308 buffer. Not enough umpf to get the bolt back into battery. If you go with KAK industry for the bolt and barrel, use their buffer as well! |

Quoted: What barrels are you guys using for your builds ? I have a Aero upper , lower and bolt carrier for a start now thinking about a 20" barrel. Do they accept any DPMS style barrel ? Thanks Ed Yes, any DPMS style barrel. I used a 16" CMMG with a rifle length gas system in mine. |

Great looking rifle!
ETA: I asked about specs, but looked back a page and saw what I wanted to know |

Quoted: Such a good looking rifle! do you mind sharing your specs? I'm specifically interested in length of barrel, rail model and length. I like how the gas block just pokes out enough. So, model on that as well, please.Quoted: Such a good looking rifle! do you mind sharing your specs? I'm specifically interested in length of barrel, rail model and length.
