Via Facebook announcement these will be in stock and for sale tomorrow. They're good quality and shipping takes about 3 weeks based on their last sale. Pay for it online and then they will contact your ffl you list on your order. CDS arms in claridge does $20 transfers and their info is already on file with aero if you need an ffl. I don't know what time they will go on sale, maybe midnight, maybe 8am, maybe 4pm, but I do know they will sell out fast. Their last run sold 600 or more in about 4 hours. They increased prices but justifiably so.

Good luck!

I like all the people being up in arms over them raising the price by $50. Even some saying they are cancelling orders on completes because of $50. Don't go out to dinner with your family and bam there's the $50 increase covered.

I got the green light to get one if I can. When I order, do I have to give the dealers FFL number at that time? I wanna make sure I have all the info I need for when I go to order. I just called Gander Mtn to see if they would do it, the guy on the phone said I had to come in and fill out a form and then they would order it for me... I told em "aint nobody got time fo dat". If I call another dealer (when they open) will they give me their FFL number so I can order?

Or am I going about this all wrong? Would I just order it and just give Aero the dealer's name and phone number? and have the dealer fax their info to Aero?

I guess I'll find out in about 20 mins when ACE opens and I can give them a call.

Ok, billet aluminum lowers from CDS arms.

The design on the mag well isn't finished, but it will probably by something patriot/2nd amendment-ish like "Don't Tread on Me" and the snake on the Gadsten flag or something along those lines.

$100 deposit, $100 when they arrive in about 8 weeks. $200 total out the door.

Cory needs to know asap so he can place the order next week and get in on the next run so call if him you're interested.

ok so I'm starting to collect part's for when the lowers come in. As far as the uppers are concerned, I'm curious about the .223's.
Is this what you guys are runnning?
I saw a 300 blackout up at Anthony's for $1000 but the ammo is PRETTY pricey.

justin'sbig7
02-04-2013, 05:50 PM
I would give Cory a call on parts. I had the chance to talk to him a good bit on our way back from harrisburg, and he knows his stuff inside and out backwards with his eyes closed. he has seen a lot of what to get and what to stay away from as well.

joshs1ofakindxj
02-04-2013, 06:59 PM
Get a 5.56 if you want to shoot 223/5.56. I rock that and I'm saving for a .50 BMG upper, bolt action single shot.

Cory does have an upper in 300 Blackout. If you don't reload yourself, the price and availability of ammo is a bummer. The subsonic stuff through a suppressor is crazy quiet.

ok, I'll probably stick with the 5.56's but how do you feel about the 7.62x39 and how's the availability of the ammo?

It's a good caliber and I have been finding it pretty easily. It's no where near as scarce as .223/5.56

joshs1ofakindxj
02-05-2013, 09:23 AM
It's definitely not as bad as 223 but like all the popular calibers you have to get lucky to find it in stock online or at Walmart.

By the time you find an upper for it ammo will be in back in stock probably.

What follows a massive run on lowers like we just had is a massive run on parts and uppers as people build rifles.

I keep looking at JSE for uppers and they haven't had anything in stock in awhile.

BCM and some other vendors have been listing them in stock online as they make them and selling out almost instantly.

Aero had some uppers in stock yesterday.

If you find a good place to get barrels, let me know! What kind of barrel where you thinking about getting? I'm having a hard time deciding if I wanna go 16" with 1:9 twist or a 20" with 1:10

joshs1ofakindxj
02-07-2013, 10:16 AM
Look at what grain bullet you plan on shooting the most.

HeepH8erTy
02-07-2013, 12:35 PM
Thats where I'm running into troubles. Id like to shoot both .22lr's and .223 with the same barrel. For target/bulk/cheap ammo, .22lr's are usually about 40 grain and .223's are usually like 75 or 80 grain I think. I need to do a little more reading and figure out what a good common ground would be for the two. I'm starting to think a 20" with 1:10. I like how the 16" barrels look and how they keep the gun shorter, but I would like the extra 4" of length for better accuracy... and I figured with a more spread out twist of the barrel (1:10 compared to 1:9), it wouldn't overspin the .22's too awful bad and still do a great job with .223's

joshs1ofakindxj
02-07-2013, 12:50 PM
All the bulk stuff like Tula and wolf 223 is 55gr and that is pretty much all I shoot. My reloads I'm working on will all be 55 gr. I think lake city milsurp 556 is 62 gr. bullet length is what really matters but diferentiating by weight is most common. See below. My varmint 223 rifle is 1:12 and I can hit moment of ground hog at 300 yards on a calm day with almost any grain bullet. For a military style weapon I prefer 1:8 or 1:9 for shooting wolf and Tula all day.

Twist Rates
The .223 Rem shoots a wide range of bullets very effectively, from 35gr flat-based varmint bullets, to ultra-long 90gr VLDs. However, you'll need the right twist rate for your choice of bullet. For max velocity and accuracy with the lightest bullets, a 1:14" twist may be ideal. More versatile is a 1:12" twist that will allow you to shoot the popular 60-64 grain match bullets. (However, a 1:9" twist is needed for the steel-core 62gr bullet used in the M855 military loads, because that bullet is as long as most 70-grainers.) For normal lead-core jacketed bullets, a 1:9" twist will let you shoot up to 73gr bullets. Since most .223 Rem shooters prefer bullets in the 50-73gr range, a good "do-it-all" solution is a 9-twist, unless you're a Highpower competitor.
For long-range match purposes, long, high-BC bullets are favored for their ability to buck the wind. You'll want at least a 1:8" twist to shoot the 77gr and 80gr MatchKings and 80gr Bergers. To shoot the new 90gr pills, a 1:6.5" is recommended, though a true 1:7" will work in most conditions.
Overall, what twist rate is best? For varminting we like a 12-twist. The slower twist will give you a bit more velocity, and minimize the risk of jacket failure at high rpms. For general use, an 8-twist barrel will let you shoot the excellent 77gr and 80gr Sierra MatchKings and nearly all varieties of non-tracer milsurp ammo. We'd only select a 1:7" or faster twist barrel if we had a need to shoot the 90gr VLDs.

02-07-2013, 01:35 PM
hmmm.... gives me something to think about. Thanks for that info. I guess I'm looking for the gun to perform best at 200-300 yards or so, do you think I even need a 20" barrel? What do you run on your varmint gun?

joshs1ofakindxj
02-07-2013, 02:13 PM
It is a 24" fluted bull barrel.

Honestly, if you want to do shooting like that, you might as well buy a single shot rifle like I have, and you'll save a lot compared to having an upper set up target shooting with a long bull barrel, free floating hand guard, etc. That brings up another option though. You could have an upper set up for target shooting and an upper with a 16" lit barrel, iron sights, and a standard hand guard. I don't picture the AR as a target rifle for better than minute of red coat, but many do. That's just my opinion.

02-07-2013, 04:31 PM
Nice score on the upper!

Heeph8er, if you are looking to shoot in the 2-300yd range consistently and accurately, I would move up to a 6mm, 6.5/284, etc. The .223 is great but past 200yds a lot of variables start affecting it. I shot high power rifle comp @200 yds. and was glad that I went from an AR to an m1 in 30-06. My groups got way tighter, YMMV.

There was a show on last night called shooting gallery... They did ballistics and penetration on a bunch of different home defense calibers. .40,9mm,.223, .380, .45 Even the Taurus judge with .410 buckshot went through 2 walls (2x 5/8 drywall both sides and insulation) and still penetrated the person simulator target enough to seriously injure/kill someone two rooms over. The best defense was 12ga birdshot. It penetrated both walls but bounced off the human target. Puts a lot into perspective.

Its all about mass x velocity... .223 is high velocity, low mass. So it does the most dammage the first time in. Everything after that is usually a tumble and then bounce.

02-08-2013, 08:37 AM
Josh and Justin... after I've been thinkin about it more and more, where I am usually shooting, our furthest targets are about 200 yards away, maybe a little more. I want it to be good for that distance, I dont really see me shooting any further than that. I guess I should just go with the 16" with the 1:9. I would really like the 20" for accuracy and what not, but I'm sure I'm probably going to be standing for at least 75% of the time I am shooting it. I'm sure I'll be kicking myself if I feel its too long and front heavy. The 1:9 should be good for keeping the bulk/cheapo .223's and .22lr's stable, level, and sprinning right. From what I saw, 16" with 1:9 twist the most common, all around barrel for the AR's... I was just seeing if I could do a little bit better than the norm....but I think thats whats gonna work best for me.


That is a sweet find dragonslayer. Too bad lowers are sooooooo hard to find. You probably wont even find one, ever. Since you dont have one, I think you should pass that upper along to me. I wanna get mine shooting really really really really really bad. Don't worry, no big deal, I'll even drive up to wherever you are and gladly take it off your hands, I can be there by 4 today! :112:

Agreed. Who has a field big enough?

I have to see what is going on with my buddy's property. He may be down for a mass shooting at his place come springtime. That's been my main place to shoot at as of late.

The best defense was 12ga birdshot. It penetrated both walls but bounced off the human target. Puts a lot into perspective.

Thats interesting. Did they test any of those "safety slug" pistol rounds? You know, the kind where the bullet is full of little steel balls and it has a little plastic plug on the end. For my 12ga, I had always wondered how using just plain old cheapo low brass target loads would do for home defense. I know those Winchester pdx1 home defense rounds have a slug and 3 00 buck balls in em... I could see that ripping through someone and then a couple of walls. The target loads are cheaper and seem like they may be safer?


Its all about mass x velocity... .223 is high velocity, low mass. So it does the most dammage the first time in. Everything after that is usually a tumble and then bounce.

Check out the boxotruth.com

its force=mass x acceleration. the bullet may still have velocity, but if it is accelerating very slowly or it is decelerating.... it isnt gonna have much force to inflict damage

The way i look at it, i'll be shooting down the stairs, so it can over penetrate into the ground. Doesn't bother me lol.

I figure i'll be at the top of the stairs with my wife on the phone to police. There's no reason to go confront the intruder. I"m just there to defend my family. The cops can deal with the work that they're trained to do if/when they finally get there.

in the meantime, if anyone tries to come up the stairs there's 6 rounds of 00 buck waiting for them at the top.

No, I cancelled my order. I was promised by Tony Vega himself over the phone 8 week delivery on Jan 9th. After 16 weeks, no lowers.... no one would answer phone, return my calls, return my emails, they stopped updating on their facebook. I cancelled my order through PistolPay. I will be ordering an aero, just haven't gotten around to it.

I will have a DSA lower for sale soon complete with stainless lower parts kit and adjustable M4 Tapco stock. PM me if interested. All it will need is an upper to have a complete rifle. I haven't decided on price yet.
