Best Mid-Tier AR-15 Platforms

[JEVapa]

but then again how many people use a forward assist. I never have.

Every time I have to do SPORTS or slow rolling a round in the chamber or right before I dump more oil in it or something.

Could you elaborate on what the forward assist is? and is there a way for you to link your listing?

Here’s a very neutral article on the forward assist.

P.S. I DON’T want to talk you into buying my AR. You should do your own due diligence and pick whatever YOU like. The only reason I bought this AR was because of the price and the name. I saw it on Gunbroker auctions and I just couldn’t pass it up.

Yes good point...Sig makes a heck of a rifle but then you can't get parts.

Very true.

You guys kinda got me wishing that I would have kept the LaRue complete lower I had and bought that complete LaRue upper I eyeballed for months to put on it, but I didn't really like the handguard and couldn't make myself spend that kind of money on something that wasn't exactly what I wanted.

I'm no big time operator, and never will be, so I'll just go with my Aero Precision rifles and be happy.

For what Aeros are runnin' these days, especially here, I think you shoulda kept the lower and got the MGU.

I don't buy much of anything unless it is a good deal.

I got two complete Aeros for the price that one complete LaRue would have cost me.

I do run LaRue MBTs in most everything though.

I'd plan a build around an Aero lower. Add Aero parts as they go on sale, or step up to some LaRue, Spikes, BCM. If you manage to find some decently-priced DD quadrails, those things become heirlooms it seems. Everything seems to fit Aero nicely, including all the tactigucci stuff like Geiselle.
