In this episode of Gun Talk Nation, host Ryan Gresham chats with Kirk Foreman from Aero Precision about trends in the firearms industry, particularly focusing on custom gun builds. They explore how gun builds, once the domain of experienced enthusiasts, have become more accessible thanks to better tools and information. Kirk highlights Aero Precision's role in popularizing DIY gun builds, especially AR-15s, and discusses how trends have evolved from 16-inch carbines to more specialized builds like pistol variants and custom rifles for specific use cases. They also touch on the rise of bolt-action rifle builds, with Aero's Solus action making it easier for regular gun owners to create custom, high-quality rifles. Kirk emphasizes that sometimes, builds are just for fun or aesthetics, and there’s no shame in that. The conversation also covers Aero’s upcoming products like the lightweight Solus actions and 22 suppressors, as well as Aero's monthly limited-run builder sets that offer unique customization options.A
