Q
Hammer, guest, from SC, United States, asked on August 03, 2020

Can this upper be placed on any brand lower? Or do you have to have a aero precision lower.

Manufacturer Answer
A
Answered by Aero Precision USA, Manufacturer from WA, United States, on February 25, 2022

We build our 308 M5 platform to the AR308 pattern, with a DPMS High Profile (.210) Tang rail and 1-7/16 x 16 TPI. Please note that our .308 products are machined to AR .308 specs, which is similar but not the same as DPMS Gen 1. Unfortunately, because there is no set standard, we are unable to guarantee compatibility with any other manufacturer’s products within this platform.
