Here is one of the best .308 rifle upper assemblies you can buy. The Aero Precision AR 308 Upper includes an M4 length gas block, 18″ rifle length stainless steel barrel, and an Gen 2 enhanced handguard. The upper itself is a one-piece, free-float design crafted to be one of the strongest, lightweight, and long-lasting assemblies on the market. And the handguard platform is precision machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, and the top Picatinny rail is scalloped to help you mount even more accessories. The upper also features M4 feedramps and a port door, while the takedown pin holes are .2795. This upper receiver is an M5E1 version, which means it is compatible with both receiver extensions. The upper also has a .750 gas block journal, a rifle length gas system, and a forward assist and port door drilled into the barrel. That means you can use standard AR .308 components with this build. For a one-piece, free-floating upper receiver that is built to last and perform to the highest standards, install the Aero Precision AR M5E1 Upper Assembly.

Cleaned well several times and lubed after assembly. Paired with AP nickle-boron BCG and BREACH large charging handle. Flawless fit to AP M5 lower and great cerakote finish. *NOTE*There is a pinch point at the bottom of the handle and the rear of the upper if you ride the charging handle forward vs. releasing it in the rearward position. Was was really amazing: I mounted a set of Leapers flip up Accu-Sync BUIS to the pic rail and was essentially dead on at 25 and 50yds -so far, "out of the box". No FTF/FTE after the first four shots didn't feed and I realized I didn't use enough lube for break-in of the BCG, buffer and spring. The CH, BCG, buffer and spring cycle very smooth and quiet with proper lube. The barrel and BCG were amazingly clean after firing a box of 20 Remington UMJ 150gr and cleaned up easier than any firearm I have done.

I bought this for a Aero M5 build and I love it. Shoots great and is pretty darn accurate. The brushed stainless fluted barrel with the 15 inch hand guard looks amazing too. I would definitely recommend this if someone is looking at a 18 inch AR 308 build. You can also tell it is very well made.

I bought this upper to complete my build, fit was pretty good for not having an aero lower.

Aero Precision never fail to impress with the quality of their products. After waiting for the same product to be restocked on the Aero Precision site, I saw the same upper in-stock and for less on the Optics Planet site. As with every other order I’ve placed, the process was seamless, shipping and delivery super fast, and I saved $$$. Optics Planet, awesome!

Picked mine up for under 600 bucks. I don’t think I would pay more than 650 that’s about what I would price this at but as long as you’re paying around that price rate you’re getting what you pay for it’s not the highest end and the finish on it isn’t the best. But it’s good for the price.
