Most Helpful Positive Review Perfect for M5 Upper
Please note that you need an M5 upper or an adapter for this rail to work. Comes with small torx mounting screws. It's the quality you would expect from Aero. I plan on building a second upper in 6.5 and will use an M5E upper with this rail.
Most Helpful Negative Review Great Handguard No Barrel Nut
This is a great part, very well made and matched my Aero Precision Upper perfectly. Only negative is Optics Planet Does not note that the handguard doesn't include a barrel nut, I've never found this on others products, there should be a note on their site. If the nut is available buy it or order ...

Aero Precision Handguard

by Thick Boi, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on December 19, 2025
Needed an handguard with a internal diameter wide enough to tuck a suppressor, this one is perfect and I believe one of the only at a great price.

It’s huge ( that’s what see said lol)

by Rail, Verified Owner from OH, United States Written on August 8, 2025
I bought the aero enhanced upper because I like the idea of it mounting straight to the actual upper but when I received it, I noticed that the piece that it mounts to is pretty good size so with that being said, I ordered a handrail thinking can’t be that bad you would have to be a giant to hold onto the thing
Pros:
  • If you are 7 foot with big hands
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: No

Another great part from Aero Precision.
Looks good and functions great. The FDE finish is tough and the design makes mounting accessories a breeze.

Lotta 5 star reviews

by Primtime661, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on February 24, 2024
So, let me just start off with the build quality of the handguard is what you come to expect from Aero, but here's my gripes.
1) First, the price of this rail should include a barrel nut.
2) You have to use Aero's barrel nut. And the timing on it has to be PERFECT!
3) I do not like how the rail does not match up perfectly- I ordered the matching M5 rail to go with my M5 upper for a reason. The gap tolerance should be on point.
4) and lastly, this is just a personal preference thing, but I do not like the little beaver tail or whatever you'd like to call it that comes over the dust cover. Obviously the dust cover is not obstructed, but imo it just looks weird.

I was going for a M110 clone on this build. I know Aero doesn't hold a candle to KAC, but I'm poor, so this is a "Gucci" build for budget.
Pros:
  • color match on FDE
Cons:
  • No barrel nut for price point
Best Used for:
  • not burning your hand
Would recommend: No

Got it fast

by BLW, from MI, United States Written on December 21, 2023
Although I have not officially "installed" the hand guard it appears to be exactly as expected. Everything lines up with the barrel nut (Aero) and the color (FDE) is an exact match to the Aero upper receiver. Good it quick with free shipping. I am happy with the purchase.
