Need suggestions on pistol build
Started gathering parts for the wife's pistol build.
so far I got upper and lower receiver set in tungsten from aero.
fathom arms nitride bcg
Ballistic advantage 10.5 modern series
ACT trigger
A Kak complete brace kit
BCM gunfighter charging handle
Magpul K2 plus
Rainer trigger guard
Any suggestions on rail, muzzle device and gas block? The gas block especially with the nitride barrel, any interferences or problems with install?
Will update more as parts come in

I'm in the same boat. I'm not sure if I should have an adjustable block for a 10.5 or no. Personally I'm going with the brake/comp/flash hider combo deal with a VG6 Epsilon.

10" Solo Lite from SLR....
It would fit that 10.5" barrel quite nicely.

If you ask customer service they might be able to do custom coatings... they will hook you up. They do offer cerakote but I don't know much about how they could match the color on your AERO upper and lower.
I also have their BCF muzzle device on my rifle and I love it.
They have a selection of gas blocks as well. Not sure if you need a special kind for a pistol or not.Last edited by alamo5000; 24 December 2014 at 16:08.

Regarding the gas block - if it's pistol length gas, I'd go with an adjustable gas block. That allows you to bleed off extra if you feel that the gun is over gassed. If it has a carbine length gas port then it's likely not necessary - I wouldn't bother with an adjustable gas block for carbine length gas, but that's just me. No problems with install on a nitride or melonite barrel. If you want, you can have the barrel dimpled where the set screws of the gas block will be and add just a tiny drop of blue locktite to the set screws. It's not really necessary but a lot of guys prefer to do it anyway. If it's a clamp on gas block then you won't be bothering to dimple the barrel. You may choose to still use a tiny drop of blue loctite on the gas block screws - your choice.
There is no 'special' kind of gas block for a pistol build. It's the same as for building a carbine. All you need is a gas block that is for the diameter of the barrel where the gas port is. That's usually .750 though there are some pencil barrels out there that use .625. I haven't looked up that particular barrel, but most likely it needs a standard .750 gas block.Freedom is NEVER Free. We have to work to protect it and even be willing to die to protect it.

It's carbine gas.
Good call on the VG6.
Thinking maybe the new ALG 10" mlok rail may look nice. Goal is a good little blaster but somewhat reasonable price.
Do spikes still make their .750 melonite lo-pro GB's? Seems like it might be a good combo with the other nitride components

You plan on shooting this suppressed? If not, I'd skip the adjustable gas block.

Possibly in the future when we get a can. UW any suggestions on an easily adjusted GB, even through a rail?

Doesn't Rainier still have their gas block on sale? Nitrided bbl shouldn't be an issue unless you want to pin the block. I'd recommend the Precision Armament EFAB for the muzzle device. Not very helpful on the rail maybe, ALG should be good but what about one of the forum sponsors, e.g BCM or Parrallax?
