RAL8000 is beautiful!!!

It’s aero, so it works. Brownells went outside of the box again for us poors. Now we can cosplay our ARs as HKs. It’s nice that they offered a color that’s not fde or od and at a great price. It would be cool if they did another line with coyote brown or ranger green, but for now I’m happy with the RAL. It really compliments magpul fde parts.

Glad to have this in my hand FINALLY

I have been building a couple of AR platform rifles. These two will be fitted to an Aero Precision lower, making for a good fit with minimal rattle. I have been impressed with the craftsmanship and finish of these uppers. Really excited to see how this turns out on the range

Does the Job

No issues. Seems to be decent

Great upper

Great upper from Aero Precision. Well made and definitely cheaper than most upper sold by other manufacturers.

Nice standard upper

Nice standard upper. Clean machining and finish. It has the Anchor Harvey Aluminum forging mark on the side. Snug fit on the barrel extension. 100% made in the USA. Clear laser engraved T marks on the rail.

Good

A good product, I am very satisfied

For the money this is a very fine item!

I bought the lower and was completely satisfied so I bought the upper and same quality and fit! Finish was very nice!!!!

Great Receiver

This is the second set of Aero Precision Receivers I have bought. I got the FDE one this time. I can only say good things about these Receivers. Can't beat that price either.
