The Aero Precision M5 (.308) assembled upper receiver is a premium forging for hunters and long-range shooters building a big-bore AR platform. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished in a hardened matte black anodize, this DPMS-pattern upper gives you a solid foundation for a reliable 308 Winchester or related cartridge rifle. It comes ready to work—forward assist and ejection port cover are already installed—so you can focus on pairing it with your preferred bolt carrier, barrel, and handguard.
Built to Aero Precision's exacting tolerances, the M5 features M4-style feedramps and integrates with the full range of DPMS-compatible 308 components on the market. The DPMS pattern takedown holes ensure a secure fit with standard lower receivers, while the matte black hard coat anodize (Mil 8625 Type 3 Class 2) resists corrosion in the field. Whether you're assembling a hunting rifle, a precision target gun, or a dependable range workhorse, this upper receiver gives you the quality and flexibility that defines Aero Precision's reputation.
Note: This is an upper receiver assembly only. You'll need a compatible DPMS-pattern 308 lower receiver, bolt carrier group, charging handle, and barrel to complete your build. The upper works with standard DPMS high-profile handguards for mounting optics and accessories.
