Aero Precision APAR308766AC: Aero Precision's state of the art M5E1 platform starts here, with the M5E1 Upper Receiver. The M5E1 upper receiver is a one-piece design combining the handguard mounting platform with the upper itself. Through superior engineering, Aero has condensed the parts needed to mount a free-floated handguard to a mere 8 screws. Since the handguard mounting surface and upper are of the same forging, not only is it a stronger system, but they are able to make additional lightening cuts to save weight and allow for more efficient cooling.
Ease of installation - Simply insert your barrel assembly into the M5E1 upper, tighten it using the included barrel nut and slide your rail on and tighten the rail screws. Within minutes you have a modular, free-floated rail.
Bordeaux Red Anodize offers a dark red anodized finish that is sure to make your next build standout from the rest. The shade of red offers a unique color, without the "loud" appearance traditionally found on red anodized finishes. This finish is perfect foundation for your next competition gun, bed sheet r/AR15 post, or blending in at an active volcanic site.

NOTE: This part features a colored anodized finish. These finishes are held to different aesthetic standards than parts finished in black anodizing or Cerakote. The lighter coloring allows certain aesthetic marks on the material to be visible through the finish. Some may show more or fewer signs of these defects, but the parts are guaranteed to be quality and in spec. There are also slight color variances between different materials when colored anodizing is applied.
