I like the 12.5” Aero upper but I need access to the the muzzle for the Surefire QD.  Will it look like shit if I chop an inch off the hand guard or have someone (professional) do it?

Function>form. Always.

It's for you, not us. Some people think the chop I did was stupid and looks like shit too, not that I care because function>form>their feelings.

I have the Aero M4E1 lower/upper and want the hand guard to match.  The next size hand guard that would match and fit is a 10”.  I prefer the hand guard as close to the end of the barrel as possible.

Yes, but you are the only one who will care so do what you will.  Some handguards you can get away with it, but you are going to have a half of a slot open with that one.

I would get a longer barrel.

Or a different upper, to shoot suppressed.  

That is a pretty good looking upper, and since you asked our opinion, I think you are going to regret WECSOG chopping it

Appreciate the feedback, I’m probably just going to get the 10.3” handguard.
