There is a replacement nut available but it's $80


I bought the alternative barrel nut. Aero wouldn't answer their phone and their help bot couldn't answer my question.

Realized I never posted my Wilson billet build.

This is my nighttime rifle

Lower doesn't matter all that much in the grand scope of things.

With that said, I do have a couple of Radian rifles and I absolutely love the Radian lower.

I typically like to spend on very good triggers (Triggertech) and I also prefer captured springs. I only have experience with the JP Enterprise springs and they're very good.

I mean a Colt lower would be ideal, but probably cost about as much as that upper for a mil/govmt use only stamped one.

Got one from Neil (2AF.com). The guy basically buys a bunch of OEM 6920s with no furniture. Splits the uppers/lowers.

They’re not roll marked, but it’s a Colt and says “M4 CARBINE” with the dancing horse.



ETA: also, thoroughbred armament has some roll marked lowers. $800+ though.

Contacted him and bought a Daniel Defense DDM4 lower from him. He was out of the colts but sold me that new in the box and shipped for the same price. He seems to have really good prices on high end stuff but not too good to raise a flag

Still waiting on a Tangodown stubby vertical and pistol grip that will be here tomorrow but she’s mostly finished.

Had a spare Aero lower so I made a poor man’s Super Duty.

PSA 11.5 upper - $189
PA 1x prism - $169
LPM duty 556 suppressor - $560
SBA3 - $69
H2 buffer and Sprinco blue - $50
Streamlight HLX - $75 (guy at work won it in a raffle and sold it to me because he had no use for it)
Microbest BCG - $90 a few years back
Strike Industries charging handle - $35

About $1,200, or the cost of a barreled upper from G$
