Aero Precision M5 (.308) bolt catch pin included with lower or LPK?

[Drew Eckhardt]

Should the Aero Precision M5 lower or LPK include the threaded bolt catch roll pin?

My M5 .308 LPK didn't have one, and when I called Aero Precision the lady answering said it should come with the lower which can't be checked because its 240 hour pickup delay isn't done yet.

The LPK was correctly marked "M5 (.308) Standard Lower Parts Kit APRH100160," included the other .308 specific parts (pivot pin, take-down pin, bolt catch, tall magazine release button), and had an unexpected AR15 bolt catch roll pin plus trigger guard.

Their web site only says the upper tension screw is included.

Mine did too... I ordered the M5E1, and the hand guard fits like crap, and came damaged on both ends. The hand guard can rotate about 1/16th of an inch side to side, and will not center when the bolts holding it down are in. Waiting to hear back from Ground Zero Precision (where I ordered it from) in regards to the replacement.

My M5 Lower came with bolt catch pin/threaded. i don't remember seeing one in my Aero LPK.

I like the threaded screw much more than punch pin.

i purchased my upper fully assembled with the Enhanced upper, however, unless you like their handguard, the Enhanced upper, you're limited to their handguard.

I have a spare upper reciever with "standard" threading, and will be using a diff handguard (maybe CMMG)

Should be attached with the lower. FYI, I'm an Aero Precision dealer.
