7.62 Noveske AR Build

[docsherm]

I have built several 7.62 ARs for other people over the years. I just have not ever done one for me. Well that all changed when I saw that Noveske started to do DPMS pattern barrels.

I wanted a solid compact 7.62 build. I like the fact that Noveske uses the rifle lenght gas system on the 16" barrel. That with a A5 buffer should make this a very nice shooting rifle. This is going to be a compact rifle yet stil be able to reach out to some decent ranges.

Aero Stripped upper

Here is what is started as:






And the final result:






I just finished it today. The Weather is really crappy so I am going to wait to to test fire and Zero it.


Range report to come.

I wanna know how that barrel pwrfprma for you, bro.

I'm loving this build.

[docsherm]

I will be posting a range report real soon. I am hoping for Friday if the weather gets a little better.

Aero 308 receivers are a good choice, and they're often available at supremely reasonable prices. That Noveske barrel should do very well.

Was it a mistake in typing, or do you plan to run a 308 carbine buffer with an A5 RE? If so, the proper buffer to use is a 5.56 carbine one.

Yes, I am using a 308 carbine buffer with a 308 A5 RE. I wanted the extra weight to test it because of the 16" Rifle gas system. I always adjust buffer weight depending on the operations of it.

[grizzman]

My buffer comment was in regards to buffer length, not weight. Is the RE-10/A5SR (the only Vltor 308 A5 receiver extension I was able to locate) shorter than a standard Vltor A5 receiver extension?

I ran a Vltor A5 with H carbine buffer in my Aero until I replaced it with a Gen 2 UBR (without spacer), which is also A5 in length.

What happened to our decent weather for today Doc?

The wx forecast showed 50’s and partly cloudy for Friday up until yesterday. Talk about blind leading the blind. Wx forecasters...

Think me and my sore ribs are going to go shoot anyway.

Nice build! Looking forward to your range report.

Looks great. Also anxious to see how it works for you. I have been wanting to put one together so I can have it set up the way I want it. Appreciate the detailed info on the build.

Yes, a standard AR-15 Carbine buffer works well in an A5 receiver extension with an Aero or Gen 1 DPMS 308 bolt carrier group.

The Aero bolt carrier contacts the lower receiver behind the gas key, where he carrier transitions to a larger diameter.

Sorry we're jacking up your build thread.....
