Great upper, be careful with the finish.

I love aero precision products and this is my second build with them. Fit and finish is excellent out of the box and the quality is superb. Be careful when assembling as the version with the fde finish scratches very easily. Driving a roll pin in I marred the finish pretty badly (I know be more careful, but it happens). I also managed to scratch the top by the rails when I had the upper sitting on my bench. Would have rated 5 stars but I know this thing will end up looking terrible after it spends some time in the deer woods going up and down tree stands. Just know if you want the rifle to stay pretty, the standard black hard coat anodized would be a better bet.
