Advice on a trade? AR10 plus upper, or BCM/Spikes build

[Brandon B]

hey guys I need some advice!
I am stuck between to offers that I have for my RH10 rifle and I need some advice. I care most about reliability, quality and longevity of my firearms and I don’t have much experience with Aero. I have a lot of experience with Spikes and BCM. I actually have a couple builds where spikes and BCM paired together very nicely.
Below is the offers I have currently and some photos. Let me know what you think?

First offer-
-Aero Precision M5e1 308 complete, with 4 mags, 150 rounds, hogue grip, and magpul PTR. Nickel Boron aero precision bolt carry group. No optics or BUS.
-PLUS an aero Precision m5 308 complete upper, no BCG, no CH. and Missing screws on the handguard (which cost 2.99)


Second offer-
A BCM / Spikes build in 5.56

Upper: BCM BFH 16" Mid Length (LIGHT WEIGHT) Upper Receiver w/ VTAC ALPHA 11" Handguard. Bipod. Muzzle Brake. FailZero BCG with Fortis Hammer Charging handle. National Match Shim - Absolutely solid feel.

If it was me I would probably take the Aero .308. Seems like between the rifle and extra upper it may be worth slightly more than the BCM/spikes build and I also don't have a .308 AR. Both rifles would be good options though so I would say since the it is two different platforms/calibers your best option would be to pick based on which you feel you would like more/ shoot more.

Hey thanks for the answer. I am leaning towards the aero for sure just because I get more bang for the buck (no pun intended).

And as far as what I’ll shoot more, probably the .308 because I have many AR builds that I still haven’t really shot yet. I think I have too many AR15s and not a single AR10

How’s the quality of aero?
