My Mall Ninja FrankenFudd assembly

[aresonance]

You ever commit to doing something outside of your comfort zone?

A couple of years ago, Aero precision released a lower making fun of California state senator de Leon and his nonsensical rant on guns. I laughed as I only wanted, and bought a M1A (because of SFC Shughart portrayed in Black hawk down).

But... I decided to assemble an AR type rifle after shooting my buddy's noveske Afghan last November.

Could've been a sign from God or just good marketing, the ghost gun lower was out on the market again. I took that as a sign and have stalked every weapon forum, watched as many videos, and of course talked to as many shooters as I could.

I listened to the Gospel many of you senior members Dole out:

1) What do you want it to do

2) take your time and save money

Aero ghost gun lower

Rosco 16in mid-length socom profile barrel

Thank you for making this site so enjoyable to read. I've gone back in time seeing fads come and go, how to shoot evolve, some of the dumbest things argued over, and results on gear that course corrected me during my parts sourcing.

And most importantly, learning from all the mistakes you've done to your weapon(s) saving me time and money.

I've only shot 200 rounds at a 30ish yard indoor range.

Hopefully I'll continue with this platform and I don't catch the itch to keep building / buying rifles.

- With luv, Rez.

Looks like a solid build list, I’m not familiar with the Aero Ghost Gun lower receiver. Is it a standard Aero Gen 2 lower with tacticool rollmarks?
Also. I’m sure not sure Rosco barrels. Never heard of them. Just out of curiosity, did you look at Ballistic Advantage barrels or a Faxon Firearms barrel?
I couldn’t find any barrel reviews on their website.
So I’m interested in what your thought process was on the barrel, especially considering it’s arguably one of the most important parts to your build.

Rosco is apparently pretty solid and has some type of contract with good guys who shoot bad guys in the face. I'd never heard of them but Garand Thumb has positive things to say.

That’s interesting to know Wake. Thanks...
I thought they were saying the right things regarding their barrels. Button rifling , salt bath nitride, and this morning I found an online gun store that had accuracy results from a 16” barrel. Basically .75 MOA, 5 round shot group with plinking ammo, and .65 with Federal SMK. Usually though if a company is selling to good guys at least on a gov’t contract advert that to death. I may just test or a barrel. At $ 140 a pop it wouldn’t hurt to have an alternative to my usual BA or DD barrels

Yeah, I thought they were just a hype company but they've been around. Plus I got the barrel at 97 dollars. This was before they put a lot of effort into their marketing and now they mark all their barrels differently. But Garand thumb, rated RR, and their own factory videos convinced me to try them out. Everybody I know has either a BCM, FN, or PSA barrel.

Very solid looking build, I like it.
