Very smart getting a 1/8 for that 6.5.

When I build my AR 10 in 6.5 Creedmoor, I'm looking to put in a Triggertech Adaptable adjustable trigger. If I like that one, I may put one in the Grendel build. The current JP isn't bad at all.

You need a 50mm objective for that bad boy.Enabling never ends...
That might be a bit small!

Well my AR 10 upper and lower receivers are in Fed Ex limbo somewhere in Arkansas and have been for a few days. Don't know if its the weather or just Fed Ex.

So the lower arrived at the LGS today and I picked it up. It was ordered two days after the upper receiver, which still sits in Lowell, AR since three days ago. I wonder if the difference is because it is being shipped to me instead of an LGS.
I looked at a lot of that info you sent me on building an AR. I think you are right I need to put a vise in my garage to do it. My garage is not air conditioned in Texas it may be a winter project if I decide to do it.

That is why I'd mount it to a board. You can clamp it down when you need to do something like torque the barrel nut, or use it as a "stand" with the magazine well insert or clam shell, etc. and use it indoors to hold you build in progress as you tinker with the less "dynamic" aspects of assembly/maintenance.

@BigFoot , from the thread on my first build:
The kind of stuff you might want to do inside in the AC, vise doesn't need to be permanently mounted. You could always put felt on the bottom of the board and use recessed bolt heads so as not to mar the inside furniture.

When I think vise I think cranking it down into a death grip to take something apart. In this case a solid mount to a sturdy bench would not be necessary.

Well you would need to clamp it down securely to torque a barrel nut to 65 ft/lbs or remove a barrel nut to swap barrels, etc. I have two large C-clamps that will secure the vise for the heavy stuff, and use just one to hold the vise from moving while doing the less dynamic stuff.
I could bring the parts to work if I needed a sturdier platform for those types of things. Sorry I kind of hijacked your thread.

No problem. I'd be arrested and/or fired if I brought gun parts to work!
I would have to do it on a Saturday or Sunday when we are closed.

I finally got both the Aero Precision M5 upper and lower receivers in for my upcoming 6.6 Creedmoor build. I may start acquiring other currently available parts as I await backordered parts for my 6.5 Grendel build.
Looks good. My last 2 “builds” have been complete uppers with lowers assembled by myself. Now that I have access to my vice, clamshell, and mag well blocks I’m going back to doing it all myself. I was quoted 6-8 month lead time for the 3 lowers I ordered so I’m in no hurry. I’m seriously contemplating buying stripped uppers and barrels now because they’re still available instead of rolling the dice on availability in the future. One build will be 300 blackout, one lower is for the complete a4 upper I bought, and I have a daughter on the way so I guess I need to look into pink furniture for the 3rd.
I like Aero components.

I ordered another one of these for the AR 10 build since the one I got for the AR 15 worked so well. No more clam shell for me. Thanks to @RandyC for the suggestion!
