    I have got an AR with Aero Precision upper and lower - well happy. They make parts for the aerospace industry as well as uppers, lowers, mounts etc. Good quality kit

    I thought they mainly did lowers and supplied others... but their website certainly has good looking full ARs:

    Could be a bit heavy with that 20" barrel which looks like a fairly meaty profile ...

    Yeah its a hvy barrel I think. That barrel if its what it is is $460US on Brownells alone. The stock is $300NZ.

    http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts...barrels,%20inc

    Lots of good bits there, fairly close to my "dream" build for a long range gun, except I am using Bushmaster receivers. That must have cost quite a lot in parts.

    The Q is why is it unfired, if I'd gone to that much time money and effort I'd want to be firing it.

    Yeah Steven, I thought the same - why hasn't he fired it and why no mag?

    Your on to it @steven

    The number of second hand AR15 I looked at where the owner swears it had only fired 30 rounds ............ Bullshit!

    I bough a new CMMG and fired 50 rounds in the first 30 mins I had it on the range.

    My CMMG was also test fired at the factory.

    Buyer Beware .... no one builds a Rifle like this and then does not at least test fire it to ensure if functions correctly.

    Cheers
    Pete

    I have two lowers with Aero bottom ends.
    Very happy with the fit and finish of them so much so I am looking at more.
    I was looking at this rifle as well on Trade Me. Very Tempting.

    It's entirely possible then built it and didn't fire it
