I also built around the CMMG bolt and barrel 8'' stuffed in a Gibbz Side Charger Upper. I also use the CMMG RIPSTOCK system. the lower is a ZR- Tactical with a Velocity trigger. I use a Holosun 510 Green Dot for my sights.

The hand guard is listed as 7.3" so your measurement is correct. Thanks for showing that, it helped a lot.
@TK-zw3dw4 жыл бұрын
I always thought you had to use an upper such as Aero’s XL upper or .458 that has the slightly larger milled out ejection port? It seems to be functioning just fine with your M4E1 upper though. Sick gun man!
@dyzastrus54504 жыл бұрын
I think the ejection port just has to be larger than a typical dedicated 9mm upper. A std 5.56 upper seems to be just fine.

I have a similar build going but with the Aero EPC lower/upper. The measurement are extremely helpful since I have the 5" barrel and KVP XL Slim comp. I want the same S-One handguard but they are out of stock and waiting to order. Everything else is I have or is one the way. Great video, thank you.

How has this run as far as ejection/extraction goes? I have a nearly identical build I'm in the middle of with the same 5.5" CMMG BCG/Barrel and Aero M4E1 receiver set, but I have heard others that built around the CMMG BCG run into issues with the size of the ejection port and failing to extract/eject without enlarging the port. Yours seems to be running flawlessly, so I'm hoping to have the same luck!

I’ve built 2 of aero’s epc 9mm rifles in the last 6 mo. All aero but 1 was with a 11” Faxon barrel and bolt. Other was ballistic advantage barrel & bolt 11” as well. My question is why would u build all aero and not use the epc upper/lower so all u needed was Glock mags instead of converting 223 mags. Just wondering is all. And nice pistol u have there. Aero makes great stuff.
@ThinLineDefenseCo2 жыл бұрын
the reason for this is because the cmmg bolt and barrel uses delayed blow back. It significantly reduces recoil... like a ton. Also we like using pmags because it's familiar and we have hundreds... just change the internals and you have the same ergonomics and muscle memory. -Walsh

@rustyshackleford55092 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure why anyone would build this gun instead of buying the 9mm banshee. With the banshee you get a lighter gun, it uses Glock magazines, and it's probably cheaper too.
@ThinLineDefenseCo2 жыл бұрын
The pre-built banshee is about twice the cost. If you have basic hands on skills you can save yourself serious cash. Most people don't though so...we get it. Also, it's much preferred to adapt pmags into the setup as our belts, carriers, placards, and bags are already set up for pmags. Swapping them all over to glock mags would make the platform far less versatile....and having to now buy glock mags...while sitting on hundreds of pmags. It would just be a dumb maneuver for us. The added weight is negligible....at best.... for the ability to then use the same ar15 platform controls and ergonomics. You don't have to relearn a new platform. I get how you want your setup to be the superior choice, but it's RARELY about one over the other. Just trade offs that you're willing to make for something else. I'd probably buy a banshee if I did it though. Mostly because I'm lazy though.... -Walsh
