M4E1 ENHANCED 5.56 NATO ASSEMBLED UPPER RECEIVER FOR AR-15 Reviews & Ratings

Aero Precision’s state of the art M4E1 platform starts here, with the M4E1 Upper Receiver. The M4E1 upper receiver is a one-piece design combining the handguard mounting platform with the upper itself. Through superior engineering, Aero have 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 M4E1 upper, tighten it using the provided barrel nut and wrench, slide your rail on and tighten the rail screws. Within minutes you have a modular, free-floated rail.

Built my first 5.56 AR with this stripped M4E1 Enhanced Upper. I really enjoy it. No defects. Delivered on time. Included barrel nut wrench. WARNING: can only be used with proprietary Aero Enhanced Hand Guard. Installing a barrel is a little strange because of enhanced detail. I aligned the feed ramps and seated the barrel with a mallet.
