What happened to Aero Precision M5/308 stuff?

[IronMonster]

I was just looking at a classified listing for an Aero built M5 AR and one of the comments was
"I wish Aero still built the AR10 stuff"

So I made a quick visit to there web page and sure enough I see no uppers, stripped lowers or complete rifles. Anyone have any idea why? I have quite a few M5 parts, three complete rifles and enough parts to build one more. I am going to be really bummed if they are permanently fazed out.

I just built one.
Ordered it about a month ago. Their stuff goes super fast. If you see it on their website you better order it fast.
I love their screw in roll pins.

I called asking about their M5 handguards and the guy told me they were in the middle of re-tooling for the next gen M5 line and it should be out soon.

Well I hope that is the case, I guess it would make sense not to offer to backorder stuff if they are changing the style.

I just registered for their August rifle giveaway and their ad had M5 FDE Cerakote lowers coming soon. They are now doing their light weight Aero optic mounts in 34mm so I am guessing the large than 1 inch, and 30mm is for bigger scopes on bigger rifles. I am guessing their swamped...the price of excellent affordable products. I really like my SPR mount on my carbine.

They're reworking the line according to their FB page, had wanted to relaunch end of July but now looking more like October.

Sounds almost like one of my clients' delivery-estimate patterns, actually...

Jeez, they need to hurry up. this is not the time of year to be having empty store shelves and out of stock notes on websites. This didn't happen when they released the Quantum handguards for their AR15 lineup.....both styles produced in tandem!

Why do AR10 builders seem to be getting the short ended stick deal?

Sounds like they are gearing up for November

They sent us an email saying demand had been so high that they are removing the backorder option from their site and that if we wanted any before the holidays that we needed to put some on backorder that day... and that was about 3 weeks ago.
