Aero Precision EPC Receivers/Angstadt parts build: live fire testing

[@ABARB3R]

Thanks for all you do Doug. I have an epc9 and FM45, both with the gentle recoil system. Couldn't be happier with their performance.

[@Blowback9]

Glad you like them!

Great episode!!! Damn now I’ve got more itching and it’s “not the clap”. Haaaa Love your channel!!!

[@56nomadman]

Yo Doug , good stuff and thanks for the great videos. What is a approx cost on the 1st Aero set up you showed us on this video? Thanks in advance👍🏻

[@Blowback9]

Thanks! I'd estimate around 800-900 as shown. Usually a decent 9mm build runs about $1000 all-in with simple red dot optic. It adds up quick.

The Joe Bob's ejectors have been out of stock. So I found some from New Frontier, my first order failed for some reason. I placed a second and have been waiting for them to ship it.

[@Blowback9]

New Frontier makes the Spartan uppers, so it should be the same ejector.

[@fredflintstone1863]

Have you looked at Brigade Manufacturing BM9?? Significantly cheaper than Aero but I’m not an informed enough to gauge its quality level relative to other brands. I installed your gentle recoil system (GRS) and quite like it.

[@Blowback9]

I have not. I'll add them to the list. Glad you're enjoying the GRS!

What do you think about using a standard AR 15 receiver with Means Arms Exomags?

[@Blowback9]

The only problem I have with them is that the ejector is built into the magazine insert, so removing the mag removes the ejector. This can be a concern when clearing a loaded firearm. The loaded magazine needs to be removed and an empty Endo/Exomag inserted to clear the gun and eject a chambered round. Otherwise the round may remain on the bolt face when the bolt is pulled back, and re-chamber again when the bolt is closed. Since this process changes the standard "manual of arms" to make a firearm safe, I'm not a big fan. However, many people use them without incident.

Did any of the barrels have the enhanced feed cone?

[@Blowback9]

They did not! It looks like my receivers/barrel/mag height all line up properly for good feeding (this doesn't always happen). The Angstadt has a decent cone and was well polished. The MidStateFirearms barrel was standard.

What is the length of the Barrel and Handguards. I gust bought a 5.5 inch barrel. It is still in the mail. Will be looking at Handguards that give the muzzle are recessed look

[@Blowback9]

Barrel 6", Handguard 5.5". See how they compare here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jorLh3hpmNCJidEfeature=shared&t=410

[@danielmerritt6576]

@@Blowback9 thank You. So if I did my math correctly. If I put a 7 inch hand guard on a 5.5 inch barrel, and use a 3.25 inch flash can. I should have the flash can extending about 3/4 to 1 inch from the end of the hand guard. Thank you

[@timothydahlin5321]

Never had any consistency with HPs using Aero barrels.

[@Blowback9]

The enhanced cone barrels? The current Aero feed cone is very wide. If you have the original EPC barrel, they should reprofile it under warranty.
