\"aero<\/a>

KeyMod or M-Lock handguard options are available as are anodized or Cerakote finishes.<\/p><\/div>\n

Aero Precision has unveiled a new, factory-suppressed AR-10-pattern upper receiver system. A joint effort between Aero, Ballistic Advantage and SilencerCo, the carbine-length suppressed .308 Winchester upper is specially tuned to run full-time with the bundled SilencerCo Omega while providing exceptional accuracy.<\/p>\n

Called the M5E1-SD<\/a>, it’s a carbine-length upper with a custom 16-inch Hanson-profile barrel by Ballistic Advantage built using Aero’s M5E1 in-house receiver. The receiver extends under the handguard and provides a direct mount for the free-floating rail, which, at 15 inches, runs right out to the back of the suppressor.<\/p>\n

It’s a complete package including the can, and with a list prices starting at $1,549, it would be hard–practically impossible\u2014to build a similar upper for less. While it looks steep at first blush, when you start pricing out component parts this upper’s value starts to really stand out.<\/p>\n

Especially since the SilencerCo Omega has an $1,100 MSRP by itself<\/a>. The Omega is SilencerCo’s flagship suppressor, introduced earlier this year, rated up to .300 Winchester Magnum. It’s good to go with just about any .30-caliber or smaller centerfire cartridge from the heavy magnums down to FN 5.7x28mm. It’s a modular suppressor that can accept different endcaps and mount via multiple adapters.<\/p>\n

The base upper isn’t NFA-regulated. The suppressor is detachable and can be used on a wide variety of other guns. Constructed from titanium, steel and other alloys, it weighs a surprising 14 ounces and ships with a flat endcap and direct-thread mount. The can, on the other hand, does require a tax stamp and as such the combo can only be shipped to dealers that handle NFA-regulated firearms.<\/p>\n

\"hanson<\/a>

Hanson-profile barrels by Ballistic Advantage are guaranteed to give sub-MOA accuracy with match grade ammunition.<\/p><\/div>\n

Of course the can isn’t the only premium component going into this build. The Hanson pattern barrel<\/a> combines a long, heavy taper from the chamber to the gas block with a light profile from the block out to the muzzle. They’re 416R stainless steel with a matte, bead-blasted finish, a mid-length gas system and a standard 1-in-10 twist rate.<\/p>\n

Unlike regular AR-type barrels, Hanson barrels are made to be free-floated and have only a small shoulder for low-profile gas blocks. Combined with their smooth tapers and round cuts they have superior barrel harmonics and a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. Thanks to the barrel’s heat-absorbing mass at the chamber end, that accuracy will stay predictable for longer strings of fire.<\/p>\n

Aero Precision offers the M5E1-SD with dealer’s choice of KeyMod or M-Lok handguards. It’s sold with a standard black hard-anodized finish or with a flat dark earth Cerakote finish for an extra $20.<\/p>\n

With the mid-length gas system and the suppressor the M5E1 promises to shoot as soft as an AR-15 and punch cloverleafs all day at 100 yards. The only thing it doesn’t do is include a charging handle or bolt carrier group, which can run upwards of $200. Still, those are pretty personal components, and it’s probably better off that Aero doesn’t burden buyers with a higher price for parts they don’t want.<\/p>\n

If it keeps things simple they do sell black nitride, phosphate and nickel-boron .308 bolt carrier groups and AR-10 charging handles<\/a> at hugely-competitive prices.<\/p>\n

The M5E1-SD is pretty unmatched when it comes to suppressor-ready uppers, not only because it includes the suppressor. Aero went out of the way to deliver a top-shelf assembled upper at an incredible price\u2014to the point where if you were considering a SilencerCo Omega, it might as well come with the M5E1-SD attached.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
