Build a better AR-15 without the hassle of assembling an upper from scratch.

The .223 Wylde chamber safely runs both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington while improving accuracy with match-grade .223 loads.

Key Features

• M4E1 Threaded receiver: the handguard threads directly onto the front of the upper receiver for a strong, repeatable lock-up without a traditional barrel nut.
• 13.5″ Slimline M-LOK handguard: a slim, lightweight free-floating M-LOK handguard built for a comfortable grip and fast handling.
• No forward assist: a clean, slick-side receiver that saves weight and snag points.
• QPQ nitride-treated barrel: a hard, corrosion-resistant surface treatment for long service life.
• SPR barrel: a Special Purpose Rifle profile tuned for precision at distance.
• Made in the USA by Aero Precision in Lakewood, Washington.

Installation

Make sure the firearm is unloaded. Open the pivot and takedown pins on your AR-15 lower, seat the upper’s front lug in the pivot pin hole, close the receivers and push both pins home. Insert your charging handle and bolt carrier group, then perform a full function check before live fire. If you are unsure at any step, have a qualified gunsmith complete the installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this complete upper include a bolt carrier group and charging handle?
No. Like most Aero Precision complete uppers, it ships without a bolt carrier group and charging handle, so you can choose the BCG and charging handle that suit your build.

Will it fit my lower receiver?
Yes, it is built to mil-spec dimensions and fits standard AR-15 lowers, including Aero Precision M4E1 lowers.

What bolt and magazines do I need?
Use standard AR-15 5.56/.223 magazines and a standard 5.56 bolt carrier group.

What does “No Forward Assist” mean?
The receiver omits the forward assist plunger for a lighter, cleaner profile. Rifle function is otherwise unchanged.

Does it ship to my state?
Some states and localities restrict certain firearm parts. It is the buyer’s responsibility to confirm the item is legal where they live before ordering.
