Wanting to avoid a dud, so seeking tips, recommendations or related discussion.
Build direction. Carry weight 6.5 Creedmoor. Light, within reason for the $. Going trim on the barrel and lightish on the handguard... Short slim barrel suppressed hunting carbine, not a battle rifle. I prefer no forward assist or port door although the bolt carrier will have notches and "standard" is not a deal breaker. Lower will be an Aero M5. I do not want the Aero M5E1 Enhanced type upper on this, I guess, oh hell, maybe I should? Will have riflescope only, no buis, no red dot. 50mm max, low or high rail?
It'd be great if it goes together with the rail true to the bore. Known gtg uppers? Known junk? Known crapshoots? Not an AR10, LOL. Support for the handguard, for bipod or tripod use is a fairly high priority. Standard weight rear charging BCG...
Ya'llz input is appreciated. Thoughts on the Aero M5E1 Enhancd upper?
