Most Helpful Positive Review Says enhanced
So first off don't read the negative reviews aero makses super quality products. It says right in the title that it's and ehhanced handguard built specific for aero uppers. Or you buy he nut for non enhanced uppers. Don't leave negative reviewes if you are not educated on the product.

This is a great product at a decent price. Would have been rated at a 4 if I would have been able to click it. Love the look of it and quality, however make sure you read the full description before you but it. It does NOT come with a barrel nut!! That is why it is so cheap! Nothing wrong with pr...

You will never find a barrel nut

by Tash, from PA, United States Written on January 9, 2026
There are no alternatives either. Works only with the upper receivers that already fit them. The barrel nut that is supposed to make it adaptable to other builds, is on back order for six months. Don’t waste your time with this. OpticsPlanet has no other affordable/comparable items that aren’t over $200.
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • everything
Best Used for:
  • Returns
Would recommend: No

great product

by David Massey, from TX, United States Written on December 24, 2025
Only reason it is 4 stars is because it doesn’t come with the required barrel nut. And that nut is back ordered everywhere

Half Solution

by Colored Disappointed, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on December 17, 2025
Unless you have a BAR Barrel Nut on-hand, good luck mounting this thing….absolutely none anywhere….at all.
Pros:
  • Good build quality and light weight
Cons:
  • OEM did not make enough proprietary parts to field their products
Would recommend: No

M4e1 not compatible

by cdub, from CA, United States Written on November 13, 2025
Aero really needs to make it a point to say that this is only compatible with the m4E1 ENHANCED upper. They even should bold it and upper case it. I don't even see it listed in the description here at ALL. The point of me buying this handguard was so I didn't have to buy an extra barrel nut, but then when I get the handguard I found out you need an extra enhanced version. The company can't be clear in their description and advertising. There's a reviewer trying to put that all on me as the buyer for not doing enough research. That's a bunch of BS.. when you read a description for a product that piece of information is important to be listed in there, I'm curious to where the other reviewer got his proprietary information. He probably learned by ordering the wrong parts like I did lol.

Aero Precision Enhanced Handguar GEN 2

by Mr FDS, from CA, United States Written on November 7, 2025
Guys I see some people have concerns over the barrel nut. Please understand this is the ENHANCED hand guard. It mates to the ENHANCED upper receiver directly which serves as hybrid type system. The barrel nut / locking system is part of the upper itself.

Great look and feel — would be perfect if the barrel nut was in stock

by Tim Hall, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on November 2, 2025
I love the larger Aero Precision Gen-2 M-LOK handguard — it looks fantastic and has a solid, premium feel on the gun. Gives plenty of room for tucked suppressors or bigger linear comps and cleans up the profile nicely. My only gripe is the barrel nut (BAR nut) is never in stock, would’ve been perfect as an all-in-one buy. Otherwise, great piece and highly recommend if you like a roomy, sleek handguard.

Great handguard, just missing one thing

by Tim Hall, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on October 30, 2025
Really like the look and feel of this Aero Precision handguard — clean design, lightweight, and feels solid once installed. Only downside is that it doesn’t come with the barrel nut, which would’ve made it a perfect package. Still a great choice if you’re already running Aero parts.

Aero Gen 2 handguard

by Todd Saunders, from VA, United States Written on October 28, 2025
The Aero gen 2 handguard is a thing of beauty - particularly when paired with an Aero M4E1 ENHANCED upper. When using with the standard M4E1 upper - it can be very challenging if you do not have the AERO BAR nut. If this is the case - only buy the Aero handguard when the BAR barrel nut Is included.
Pros:
  • Awesome when used with Aero M4E1 ENHANCED UPPER
Cons:
  • A real challenge to find AERO BAR nut fit using with standard mil spec upper
Best Used for:
  • Aero Enhanced uppers
Would recommend: Yes
