Aero 6.5 Creedmoor upper ?

[Fox84]

I just installed one on my Dpms LR308 lower. Will the 308 buffer and spring cycle?
Any other concerns I need to be aware of?

Thanks

I used a Veltor hider/ brake ( Brownells) on my LR 308, Magpul rifle stock and buffer for a soft shooter, the creedmore should be even softer.

My personal experience with a creedmoor build is that it can be sensitive to the loads and pressures generated with a rifle-length gas system--it is one of the few builds I've done which I feel really needs an adjustable gas block to make life easier. But that's just one build I've done--I don't know if other manufacturer's components avoid this. Accuracy when it's tuned right is better than any other x308 AR I've ever built or shot, so there is sort of a "reward factor" for the extra "frigging with the rigging."

2 Months with my Aero M5E1 killed 3 hogs 4 yotes. Not a single problem with it.

It ran fine with Factory Hornady 120gr Amax. In forty rds I had two primers back half out. Accuracy was one hole at 50 yards while breaking in.
