Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BobaDebt: What about the optic placement is breaking your brain? I have not shot this set up yet, I shot my original 10.4 upper with an H-3 buffer and it was pretty much like any of my other 10.3 uppers, but would not cycle 223 Then I bought a real MR556-A1 last year and it impressed me so much that I decided to wait until I had an A5 lower for this upper to shoot it again Once I shoot it I may change the position of the optic If you have been wanting to build a 10.4, there has never been a better time With STS and the Brownells BRN-4 line it can be done affordably or if you want to go mostly all authentic HK parts you can shop around and find deals I got the RAL8k Stock and grip over the past 2 months from 2 different vendors and I only paid $255 for both, plus I added other parts that were on sale to those orders to offset the shipping What is the rationale for putting the optic so far aft on the receiver? |

Increased sight radius for iron sights I haven't shot it with this optic yet but I have shouldered it and the red dot position seems fine and lines up perfectly with the laser from my PEQ-15 |

Aero dropped their new Pro series. Going straight after Geissele’s market share with Geissele’s rail design flipped upside down, likely to bypass the patent. Looks good aesthetically but $2000 for an Aero/Ballistic Advantage rifle seems like a hard sell.
 Attached FileETA: LOL, they even have G$’s tension screws in upside down fashion. |

As much as I like Aero's uppers, lowers & buffer tubes, that right there is just not right. I"ll agree, blatant cash grab with a ripoff design tactic. They've got the talent to innovate, I don't really get this at all.

Aero may think they’re going to make way in that market share, but I don’t think they will at all. PSA also has a Mk8 knock off rail and G$ still sells to them too. Imitation is the sincerest form…..

I agree with the above, but am actually pretty interested to see one of those rails in person.
Moving the hardware to the top looks like the love child of Geisselle and BCM. Best of both worlds in my opinion. |

Who am I kidding, no way in hell I’m paying almost $400 for any rail system, especially an Aero made one.

And sometimes imitation is just... imitation. They could have packaged it differently or introduced an incremental improvement, but it literally looks like a G rail flipped upside down. I'll reserve final judgement until I can take a closer look, but regardless the value proposition isn't there at all. |

I rarely drop $2k+ at once on a rifle or...anything for that matter. Pic above is years of acquisition, one part at a time. I use Aero and BA when I need cheap buffer tubes and barrels, like most folks. It's going to be difficult for them to break into that next tier. |

Nice symmetry. The OCD in me would go bonkers trying to get everything in perfect alignment for that pic... No doubt, all 3 of my SBR AR builds are ~$4-5k each (with stamps & cans) built one little piece at a time over years of acquisition. The sad thing about doing a spreadsheet on gun builds is knowing exactly what you've spent. Still, it's the prudent thing to do. Like I said I like Areo for uppers, lowers and tubes. They're great. Sadly, the "responsible homeowner / husband" in me has spent the better part of $20k on house stuff over the last 2 years. Ah, the joys of adulthood! |

Pictured with my other Tano builds for reference. - Top: Kodiak Brown receivers, w/RISiii, ADM Tano buffer tube - Bottom: Tano (pre-Kodiak blem run from Aero) receivers, DDC MK4, DDC buffer tube It definitely looks more Rose Gold than I’d hoped for, and would have been a great match for the early CMT DRT rails. It’s more iridescent/shiny than the pictures show. Not sure I’m entirely sold, but already have the wheels turning for a Tano Dissipator 300 Blk w/Mlok rifle length handguard. I’ll start collecting parts and keep an eye out for another option on the upper.

The Tano A2 is underway. Just got my FCD Tano 11.5” rail and 16” 300blk barrel.
Now to send the barrel for a pinned FSB and gas block. This will be dissipator’ish, with a FSB attached prior to Rifle length, but longer than Mid… not sure what to call it. Still deciding on the lower, but I have decided no Aero or G on this build.  Attached to my Tano Aero lower…  |

Coyote A2 grip and FCD trigger guard are in the mail. Nothing matches, which is perfect in my eyes. Still need an A2 upper parts kit and have to send this barrel out to get a new FSB pinned.  Attached File |
