Everything will match up aesthetically.
My patrol rifle consists of an M4E1 lower and a basic upper with FA. I don't see how lacking a FA would change the look or function you are going for. Either way, it leaves you open to all the normal rail options. |

I have used the M4E1 lower with regular uppers, and non-fa uppers, and I think they look fine. The lower does have a little bit of an angular look to it, but it is not so sharp in my opinion that it looks out of place with standard more rounded components.
Worse comes to worse, you don't like how it looks and end up with a spare upper for a rainy day. If you want to minimize the footprint the forward assist has, Forward Control Designs has a FA without a rim that will save you from catching a finger nail on it. |

Why don't you want a upper with a FA?

It should match with a normal upper receiver, so if you want to stay with Aero, just get the normal upper receiver without FA.

I am committed to an Aero M4E1 lower, but not super committed because they sold out by the time they got my uspsmo so I guess I could change. I have not chosen an upper yet. My preference is no FA. It seems that the m4e1 upper is a perfect match (as it has the billet look) for the lower but it is not offered in no FA. Is there any disadvantage to just getting Aero's upper with no FA over the m4e1 upper? Will everything match up aesthetically? Looks aren't everything but I don't want a gun that looks too odd (i got that covered in my own visage). Thanks Stephen |

I have a slab side coming in. Should get all my stuff this week, other than my lower that is still backordered.
By the time it gets in I'll pretty much just have to pin the upper and lower together. |

I have a bunch of aero receiver rifles. Some have m4e1 uppers on normal Aero lowers and some have regular Aero uppers on M4e1 lowers. All look good.
These are my 3 gun rifles. Both are no FA aero uppers, the bottom rifle is on a M4e1 lower.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The PA 1-8x optic is better IMO. The Strike Eagle 1-8x isnt as clear and the field of view seems narrower. Now the 1-6x Strike Eagles are much better than the 1-8x ones (have a couple of each on various rifles) I'm leaning hard toward a SE 1-6, but might spring for a Steiner P4xi. |

Got my lower in this morning, assembled it and attached to upper.
It looks great, pics incoming when it's finished. I still have to pin the gas tube (holy crap that is hard to do without roll pin punches which should come in this evening), attach the rail, and ultimately paint it. Anyway I'm a little disappointed in the upper to lower fit. My psa upper and lower lock together tighter than dick's hatband, but this aero upper with no fa and m4e1 lower are pretty loose. I know i can tighten the screw, but then it's a beotch to take down. Oh, I'm waiting on my larue ss trigger too, then I'll post pics. |
