I purchased the Aero enhanced upper as well as the Aero enhanced handguard with the Faxon 16" barrel and the Faxon bcg. No problems yet with the feed ramps. The Faxon has an improved barrel feed ramp compared to Aero. This is just my opinion but I have had less issues with the Faxon bcg compared to the Aero bcg. Just a friendly suggestion for those wishing to build out their 9mm pcc.
Been very curious about the Aero EPC, I have several Aero lowers and a couple of their complete uppers and have been really happy with them! Thanks for the video and information!
Aero with faxon bcg, cmc 9mm trigger, ar-stoner ar15 flat wire spring ar stoner 11oz 9mm buffer weight with the holosun it's lagit I got the 16" and 8" barrel..super fun but can be finnacky u wanna make sure your buffer weight and bcg are above 22 0z combined. Have a toolcraft bcg for backup but won't eject and it might be cuz my old weight and the bcg was under 22 o, we will see!
I have a ar stoner 9mm upper, Amagansett spring and buffer, and a stern glock mag well adapter for the ar 15 coming. Aero epc lowers are out of stock on their website.
I put an all Aero EPC 9 together. When the gun is empty the bolt won’t stay open. It stays open with empty mag. I spent 2 hrs waiting on their customer service CHAT. they disconnected me 3 times because it was a EPC question. They know these have problems. Do yourself a favor and build a Spikes Tactical instead
I have an EPC for fun but I'd never use one for home defense. Even you've stated there's cycling issues. It's just part of the system which uses a 556 platform for a 9mm caliber. But that's just probably an thing you say to justify a new toy 🤣🤣
I have a first gen epc9 and it's complete garbage!!! Won't feed ANYTHING tried 115 fmj 124 fmj and 115jhp and 147jhp. Crushes the round and won't feed everything! Truly disappointed in aero!!!!
Look up Macon Armory. I have a Faxon bolt and barrel that was advertised as a sure feed barrel but had the same issue. Found Macon Armory and set them both in for a bolt modification and and steeper feed ramp on the barrel. Now my EPC feeds everything 115, 124 and 147. I've not tried any heavier or lights rounds yet.

Same combination as mine and has functioned flawlessly so far.
Scooped one of these up last year...really fun little shooter. Very accurate. I run a Primary Arms 1x Microprism on mine.
8.3 barrel ?

Yeah man, I'd recommend it.

How do you disable the strobe on the TLR1?
Note , if you use Magpul mags and load your own , pay attention to the col.
I'd love to know what the total weight of the rifle is unloaded as you've kitted it. Was looking at the ep9, but aero makes some nice rifles.
What weight buffer are you running?
how much does it weigh ?
👍 Which buffer weight?
What chest rig is that you’re running?
That is an awesome gun I'm going to be doing an AR9 build here pretty soon for SDI I'm excited
I like this aero 9 a lot. If you want head here and get yours started - alnk.to/3cjgwun
I want to build that exact gun for a home defense weapon!
Awesome! I just ordered FTM 9mm- so.....we'll see how she runs!
I bet it will great
@@Mtn_Marty it does!
Anyone know if the Rise Armament 434 trigger will work in the EPC-9? I noticed this video has the RA 242 trigger...
Hey, it should work fine. The EPC 9 takes standard AR drop in triggers.
What is your opinion on going with the 11” upper vs 8.3”? I am really torn on what to go with!
Loved the video! Building one in FDE currently.
8-9" is "optimal", so 8.3 is good. If going longer, just go with a larger caliber. --my opinion--
Love my EPC-9
Does your optic clear the flashlight in the 12 o’clock position?
Like a charm!
What year is considered an early version upper ? I bought mine in 2021 .
That’s a question for Aero. I think you are good. Have you tried to run JHP and 147 grain through it?
2021 models are no good it's 2022 or later look up online it shows you what the upgraded feed ramp looks like compared to the old feed ramp
B5 sells a storage plug.
Yeah but it doesn’t come with the grip which is kinda stupid.
What barrel/handguard length is this?
Aero EPC-9
@@chadsageser1963 ya but what length is the barrel lol they range from 5" to 16". It's an 8"
Aero is overall the great
why with you is look good . but me buy froem thailand it no good. some part damage ....
How would you say felt recoil is compared to an AR chambered in 556? Have a gf I'm looking to get a rifle for. Thanks!!!
Super low recoil

ive had eotechs in the past. i like my holosuns MUCH better. the reticle is 10x clearer/crisper that eotechs.

Nice!
What was the total cost of your build? Thank you.
You know, I am not 100% sure. I think I got everything including the optic done for under $1K.
@@Mtn_Martyvery nice
Shopped all the sales w/ magpul prs lite stock ,16” enhanced upper , magpul flip ups no optic yet , vg6 break about $800
PS if I didn’t live in comi fornya I could have saved another $100 on the lower . 😢
No affiliation but I'm an affiliate 😂
Lol just playin thanks for the vid
did those dudes really have to be shooting in the middle of your video lmao
Well. It’s a range so…
@@Mtn_Marty yeah but its HIS range. lmao

Plus a heavier buffer from Macon Armory as well.
reach out to them, im sure ive read a bunch of people say they will replace the barrel at no charge.
