What Reviewers Are Saying
Fitment and Machining Issues
60%
A significant number of reviewers highlight serious problems with the fitment of the magwell and other components, indicating poor machining quality. Many had to make alterations to ensure parts fit correctly, which detracted from their overall experience with the product.

AR-308 Folding Lower
Most standard parts fit, added Bear Creek Armory complete upper. I was under the impression that you could not fire with stock folded, but couldn't see how. BCG locked forward but if charged with a round in the chamber the hammer still drops. This could cause serious injury or death! Never fold stock with round in the chamber, (I did it dry-fire to test).

Came blemished
Looks really cool but havent assembled it yet, I seen previous reviews and seeing they are having issues installing the bolt catch. Unfortunately my lower came a bit banged up and some parts of the finish was chipped.

Issues with Aero M5 LPK
The folding mechanism seems robust, but a standard Aero Precision M5 LPK Bolt Catch doesn't fit the lower. The channel that the bolt catch rests in isn't cut long enough for the bolt catch to engage the bolt catch pin. Even without the spring and detent installed, the end of the bolt catch presses against the end of the channel and doesn't line up with the bolt catches pin hole. This seems like something that should have been caught way before this product was brought to market.
