I'm straight up building a 12.5 .308 pistol because it will be awesome. Going to use aero precision m5 parts due to their sexy good looks and good reputation.
I can build a lower. Does this mean i can build an upper? Looked into it and so long as i use good parts that fit on my .308 build it doesn't look like i can't despite not being good with tools. Going to get the forward assist and dust cover already on and then i just do barrel gas block/tube and rail.
I don't have a bench vise, does this mean i am fucked?
Since it's not a 5.56 AR should i headspace this gat? I don't want to blow up my gun or my pretty face.
Anyone know if the rise armament drop ins fit an m5? Or the chip mckormick?
12.5 .308 mid length barrel. Where can i find one?
Alternatively, i am down with buying a finished upper if i can ever find one. But i don't imagine that will be likely.
Headspace should technically be set when the barrel extension is installed on the barrel, combined with an in-spec bolt. With all new parts you will be fine 99.9% of the time.
With there said, a good set of gauges is cheaper than a new face. Not a bad thing to have in general.
