Aero's machining has gottn 10 t8mes better tjes days, my m4e1 upper bcg feels like butter and is silky smooth right out the box with a nitride bcg
Thay all sound the same. I Polish out the part's just a little bit of time to make it better for cheep just time.
I’m kinda ol’ skool, kinda modern day kinda builder. You can’t touch the history & simplicity of a A1 retro build, at the same time there’s modern day billet receivers & designs that just looks freaking sharp! Point is you can still build a top-tier weapon if you know how & where to source your parts list(doesn’t hurt if you got got knowledge & taste) to your creations.
why not continue a trend? oh, um many reasons.
My last two builds have been with VLTOR Mur uppers. They do have a bit more material in certain areas to make them stronger than a regular mil spec. And they look really cool similar to a billet receiver although these are forged. Vltor is an aerospace and defense company and they make some really high quality stuff.
The uppers are a little pricey but not as bad as some of the fancy stuff, and you can catch them on sale. I would like to have one of the lowers to go with it but they are crazy expensive for the lowers.
I did get a couple of billet lower receivers for a good price, about $115 or so from a newer small company called 17 Design. Very nice and clean machine work.
Love the T-shirt, thanks for the info and all the videos
TiN coating is not Titanium Nickel, it is Titanium Nitride.
If your building a lightweight rifle start with forged receiver sets. Aero Precision M4E1 sets are good to go.
Incest Shack
Lol of course it sounds really grimy. It's because you need to break in the receiver and the bold carrier. You need to grease it out or oil, whichever you prefer.
Weird “review” of this guys molesting the upper with the bcg
I just took 1500 grit and light machining oil to smooth the striations in the upper. Now it is as smooth as silk. One has to disassemble the upper assy to do this as one can generate abrasive slurry using this process. Perhaps the extra cost is associated with brand and/or finish work. Thanks for sharing Kotaboy!
billet sux, forged is best
I bought an Anderson 20inch upper halve and it's a piece of crap I can't even get groups at 25yds shots shooting 7 to 8 inches to the right and if I stand farther I miss the whole paper target smh
If a rifle barrel is advertised as a .556 rifle barrel, is it also understood that it .223 compliant?
I had an upper receiver that sounded like that and all I did was take polishing compound and wrap it around and shotgun brush and used my drill and did it really slow and it's fine now shoots fine
kotaboy32 tac….you should do an update version on this…and i mean a 2021 version of this with some of the newer accessories and MODs since this video.
I never did understand the whole billet fad. Forged is stronger so why pay more for a material that isn’t as strong.
What’s the name of that comp! 🤤🤤
I've been trying to decide on an upper for my new SCO15 lower build. Hoping to find a BCM available but that looks like a pipe dream. Want high quality and tight fitment. Not cheaping out on this one.
No positive add 9ns from me, so I just hit the like button lol
lube it coz metal to metal contact is no good lol +1 dislike lol for not realizing
I like this
Not sure if anyone in the comments has mentioned this .. There is a Forging mark on the Forged uppers on the right side . You pointed right at it on one of the uppers . But didn’t mention it . There is a website to find out which manufacture made the forged Blank . Just thought some folks may be interested in knowing where there’s came from . Enjoy Your Video’s …. Thanks 🙏
Forged is stronger. Military uses 7075 T6 ….
What are you people doing to your AR's where the slim differences between Forged and Billet receivers will make a difference? Like, You taking your AR to Jupiter and never taking care of it on full auto fighting against the Covenant while using is as a shovel, pole vaulting pole, and hammer?
4mins about what he will talk about…by the end of the video,did we learn anything?
Pop in a cheap BCG and run 250 rounds and then put in your Gucci BCG ???
Thinking that the least audible friction, may simply fit looser. In a 'goes bang every time ' gun, a bit loose is better.
most receivers except those who make their own are anchor harvey anyways .
my thoughts are, if it functions well who cares if its cheap. if it's also more resilient or keeps the gun cooler then sure but asthetics are for girly men that need attention or have little wangs. if you dont need the backup parts and it functions properly then you're just wasting your money to have something shinier to impress other men, you should probably question your sexuality a bit. money would be better spent on new guns and ammo or battle training, or at the least traveling to events
actual info starts at around 4:00
$100 Anderson lower/upper combo's is as good or better than those $400 overpriced fancy name ones.
