Am looking at my first build and was wondering if anyone has any experience with this upper

I have one going on a build but not to range yet. All I can say so far is very clean machining and anodizing. Looks really nice. Like the lines and for $120 shipped I paid on their daily deal it was a steal. Only thing I dislike is no cutout for enhanced bolt catches like the seekins. Works fine with standard USGI bolt catch but when I put it on a lower with the seekins bolt catch the catch hits the upper when pressed. Dont have barrel on upper yet so cant function check.

I like the look of it.  I am thinking of ordering the aero stripped lower and the m4e1 upper.  Not sure what All else I will need other than the obvious, barrel, parts kit, hand guard, and furniture.  I am hoping maybe they will do something for black friday.  If not I am not too worried about their price.  seems fair to me to get what I want.

They are nice. I like the diameter of the forearm vs the skinny ones being put out by BCM and MI. You will give up a couple of ounces vs a standard AR upper with one of the superlight forearms. It is a forged upper that looks billet.



They had a deal over the summer for an upper and a handguard for around $290 shipped. I figured, with an MLok ff hg coming in around $200 no matter where you shop, an extra $90 for the pretty upper was a fair deal. I got the 13" Mlok.

I like mine. Easy to put a barrel into. I really like the barrel nut design, and the fact you don't have to time it at all. The rails are nice. The keymod one feels great in the hand. Also they look pretty sharp.

Well I think you guys convinced me.  I am gonna order one.  Is the key mod the way to go now days?

EDT: I don't like the slim profile that KEY MOD gives the handguards.-the pic below is my standard handguard- YMMV.

I'm seriously considering a M4E1 upper and rail for a build I'm planning - it'll probably be an 18" BBL with a 15' HG.  These uppers and rails look great!

Do I still need the bcg or is it included?  I see is has the forward assist already installed.

That upper does not come with a BCG

Did you expect it to for $149??

not really.  just wondering because all their bcg's at aero come with the forward assist.  Don't really need it if it comes already installed in the upper.  Just though it was kinda wierd.

Not following this.

Also wait till Monday to get anything. Aero precision posted they are having cyber Monday sales. Unsure if this will be included or not.
