I couldn’t be more impressed with the Aero Precision M5 18in .308 Upper Receiver. Right out of the box, the fit and finish are flawless, and it pairs up perfectly with my Aero M5 lower receiver. The precision machining and attention to detail make it clear why Aero Precision has such a stellar reputation.

The FDE Cerakote finish is absolutely beautiful and durable, giving the rifle an exceptional look while also offering solid protection against wear and tear. The fluted 18-inch stainless steel barrel is not only a work of art but also provides excellent weight balance for the platform without sacrificing performance.

On the range, the performance speaks for itself. I’m consistently getting sub-MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, and the functionality has been absolutely flawless. Whether for precision shooting or general use, this upper delivers incredible reliability and accuracy.

If you’re building or upgrading an AR-10 platform, the Aero Precision M5 upper is the perfect choice. It’s the ideal match for the M5 lower, and the combination of aesthetics, precision, and performance is second to none. Highly recommend this upper for anyone serious about their .308 build!

The RISE Armament TRYBE Defense Mil-Spec AR-10 .308 Complete Bolt Carrier Group has exceeded my expectations in every way. I installed it on my Aero Precision M5 upper, and the fit was perfect, with tight tolerances that inspire confidence in the overall build. The BCG seated seamlessly, and it’s clear that the machining and quality control are top-notch.

One of the standout features is how easy it is to clean. After several range sessions with different types of ammo, carbon buildup wiped away effortlessly. The coating and finish make maintenance straightforward, which is a huge plus for anyone who spends time cleaning after extended use.

Reliability has also been flawless. From the very first round, this BCG has cycled consistently without a single malfunction, even during rapid-fire and high-stress testing. Whether you’re running match-grade or surplus ammo, this BCG handles it all with ease.
