13.7” with the NOX or a 13.9” with the Dead Air Flash Hider is my Go-To😎. Nice build, can’t go wrong with either the Aero Precision Gen2 lowers or the M4E1 when your ready to make the switch.
I’d love to see your Ak videos. My roots were in aks. Like you I upgraded a Troy AR I had and it started me back into the AR world with all the awesome parts and rifles out there now. I still love my AK’s but honestly these days I’d take any of my AR’s over my nicest AK.
Yeah I’m kinda in the same boat currently. I love my aks but honestly after learning how to use them effectively and quickly the ak is just very outmatched. I’d still like to get a little shorty ak as a back pack gun but other than that I haven’t found myself really using them all that much recently.
I’ve found the same issue with my blueforce slings. Now I prefer the ferro concepts slingster. The material isn’t so chunky either and it stows way better under a ranger band or strap. Honestly when it comes to charging handles I like the radians better than the Geissele ACH on my URGI or super duty. I really love the setup on your 13.7” it’s a great do everything rig. I need to get some videos up of my 13.7” and 13.9”. BTW, those arisaka light mounts are tits. They are all I run.
I don’t know why I prefer the geissele but I do. I like the little hood in the back for gasses, which I’ve swapped back to it for the 13.7 sense that’s my suppressor host mostly. And I’ve looked at the slingsters and they seem nice but I’d like the webbing to be a little bit wider I guess. I’ve been looking at those flatline fiber co slings as a replacement.
The Hyperfire’s or larue mbt2s are both great triggers for a fraction the price of the Geissele’s. Also, Aero makes great products especially for the price range. The M4E1 receivers are some of my favorite non ambi forged receivers for the price. The R-One and S-One rails are both awesome. I used to run the bcm grips setup like a romy dong like you but recently switched to the emissary development handbrake. They are amazing and give you the same hold with just a better profile. Similar to a cut down dong.
I like aero quite a bit honestly. I don’t have the most experience with them but everything I’ve had has never had an issue yet and The s1 I’ve always had an eye for. And I’ve swapped that grip for a slate black hand stop and I’m honestly quite happy with it. I’ve also added a 508t on an arisaka offset mount back on so that I could still have a back up sighting system sense I don’t really have room for irons
Sweet 16 indeed. I wish I hand an aero upper for this build just to match the short sections of rail on the atlas. What hand guards do you run? And I had bought a rosco barrel for this originally but decided to go with the solgw
@@Some_dude773 I'd say SOLGW barrel and BCG would be a bit better. I've got a 13.5 Midwest industries rail on it. Gonna try something else next time. Not sure yet.
@@otisbones the midwests seem nice as well. Honestly a lot of these rails just look the same anymore so if you want variety it can be a bit difficult to choose another. That’s why I went with the s1.
B5 is what I ended up going with actually. I have two of them now and they’re definitely my favorite! The s one is an awesome rail it’s pretty underrated imo
Just built a SOLGW 13.9. Check out SLR RIFLEWORKS Handguard and look up the A5 buffing system do recommend the aero upper receiver. The BCM trigger only 75. If u do another lower for a new built. BCM part kit are 120 and u get ur trigger and grip.
You can leave your offset red dot as back up irons instead of running actual irons, that way it doesn’t just look cool but it’s an actual redundancy incase something happens to your LPVO 🤙🏼
That’s what I was doing before hand but I actually went and bought an arisaka mount for a 508t, I figured I’d give the 35 degree option they include a try. My one gripe is that my muzzle device tends to be over reactive when canted but it shouldn’t be too much longer till I get my suppressor so I won’t have to bitch for to long😂😮💨
@@Some_dude773 nice, dead air? And I went with the Valhalla ruhk mount for a 508t as well. It isn’t as adjustable as the marketing would have you believe. But still very light it basically weighs nothing sick set up you’ve motivated me to start re documenting. I started with a PSA and now I have like 7 different builds. I agree is more fun when you invest time into your research. I love how how you picked a lot of things I either went with or looked at. 🤙🏼
@@Semiautoautomatic_shaman yeah, it’s a sandman K. hell yeah dude. Id never made a vid until a couple of months ago and honestly it’s been pretty fun. I’d like to get better at editing but I’m tech illiterate🤷♂️ but thanks man, I’d like to think I know who makes good parts considering how much gun media I consume😂 and as for which arisaka mount I bought I can’t remember the name if there is multiple.
cool man. little more sleek looking. also, larue tactical makes the MBT trigger for around $100, machined out of solid tool steel in TX. sweet trigger Aero is pretty awesome, hard to beat the value, and atlas is very cool hand guard design.
Funny enough it’s changed sense this video as well. I think I’m finally getting to the point attachment wise where I’ve streamlined it enough for what i like. Just looking for a different front hand stop right now and was thinking of either the slate black or an arisaka I I could use it as a stop on a barricade. Might get a better lpvo eventually but they’re quite expensive.
Good looking rifle. The can be timed for left handed, I have a 13.7 solgw with the Nox for duty, and it's fantastic. It can be timed for neutral, left and right handed
I have an almost identical upper build I was planning. Aero precision upper and Karla’s S One handguard, Roscoe bolt carrier group and barrel, sons of liberty flash hider, magnifier and red dot. aero precision, lower, A5 buffer system, LaRue trigger and a fixed MOE Magpul stock with the law tactical folder
Good video. I subscribed to help ya out. I’m just not a fan of the strap. But you did a good job. Have your had any jams or misfires? I’m in the process of building one now. Hoping to build a 6.5 Creedmoor
Thanks man. Mostly just put that on there to keep the pressure pad on there but I don’t run one anymore sense i needed up bumping it to much. And I’ve only had one where the bolt just locked back prematurely which could me my fault sense it hasn’t happened sense. And hell yeah man! What length are you going for?
If you're still lookin for a sling, take a look at the Proctor Sling....That's what has been on my patrol rifle for years. I stow it via a ranger band just like yours. It's more slim and lightweight and doesn't snag on the Ranger band when deploying.
@@Some_dude773 they do...tho I can't speak to the padded version....I honestly prefer the slimmer standard sling. Also, I do not care for Frank's sling loops (the 550 cord loops). The sling just twists too much so I run QDs on the ends.
@@miletello1 gotcha. That’s what I do remember of them is the para cord sling attachments and I like that they create less noise and all but I think I’d be in the same boat as you. I’ll give them a look. I’ve been looking at a few different slings but it’s not at the top of my lists of priority’s I guess. The vickers works well when doing “sling things” but storing it and deploying it is a bit of a hassle do to the bulky plastic sliders
I’m not a huge trigger guy to be honest so I didn’t know that was an option that and I’m not to familiar with Larue except for their optic mounting solutions. Someone else commented the same thing so I’ll give them a look
I've been eyeballing that exact lpvo for a while now. My rifles see mostly farm/ranch use in open country and I break optics often from tossing in the back of the side by side and general abuse. Do ya think it will hold up?
I mean I can’t say I’ve really done all that much hard use testing in that regard. So I’m not to sure but for the price point I’d say it’s worth a look. It’s got clear glass, and a nice reticle as well as just kind of being a one stop shop kinda deal when you buy it. One thing it does suffer from like a lot of other budget lpvos is that the brightness for the reticle isn’t day time bright. You can get away with the highest setting possibly but that would most likely run the battery down faster of course. If you do end up testing it I’d love to hear your thoughts as to it’s durability, I just can’t bring myself to do that kind of testing with it honestly.
@@Some_dude773 thanks for the input. My "durability testing" is never intentional and I always say "I'm gonna take care of this one but life is what happens when you had other plans
@@BAAMRanch ain’t that the truth. I mean the optic seems sturdy enough but I’d say a more expensive one would probably do better for you. The msr feels sturdy but lpvos being a longer aluminum tube it just makes me feel as though it’d probably bend eventually
@Emmanuel Goldstein I agree, this optic was mostly a test for me to figure out if I even liked lpvos. I eventually would like to get a night force I think

Frankenstein builds are the best! Well done!
I am using and loving the Edger Sherman Designs slings, minimalist design, very well made and smooth adjustment!
Validated. Keep up the good work.
Thanks boss!

Sick build, look into some piggyback or offset mounts for a secondary sighting system. Very capable fighting rifle, Subbed.
I highly reccomend Urban ERT slings.
Rock it bro 💯👌 sling lead all day 💪
I fully intend too🤘 thanks boss
"Haven't really shot it much yet" .. perfect

Nice set up
What length is the rail?
The aero precision atlas s1 comes in a 12.7 inch variety the r1 might as well but I’m not sure.
The rubber pad/barricade under light?
You talking about the tape switch for the light or the camo tape?
