The Aero Precision M5E1 6.5 Creedmoor assembled upper receiver is built for shooters who demand precision and reliability in a long-range target platform. This 22" rifle-length upper comes fully assembled and ready to pair with your DPMS Gen I LR-308 lower receiver, giving you the foundation for a serious distance gun. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge has earned its reputation in competitive and precision shooting circles for consistent, forgiving accuracy, and this upper leverages that advantage with a quality 416R stainless steel barrel tuned specifically for target performance.

What sets this upper apart is the attention to detail in the gas system and receiver design. The rifle-length gas tube slows gas cycling compared to shorter systems, reducing hammer blow on critical components and extending the life of your bolt carrier group and receiver. You get an ejection port cover and forward assist already installed, so there's no guesswork on assembly. The forged 7075 T6 aluminum receiver is hardcoat anodized in matte black for durability, and the .2795" pivot and takedown pin holes ensure compatibility with standard LR-308 lower receivers and quality clones.

The 1-8" twist rate in the barrel stabilizes a wide range of popular 6.5 Creedmoor target bullets, giving you flexibility in load development and bullet selection. The 22" barrel length maximizes velocity for distance shooting without making the rifle unwieldy. An A2-style flash suppressor is threaded on, and the 1.78" inside-diameter handguard opening clears most muzzle devices and compact suppressors if you want to add one later. The Gen 2 Enhanced M-LOK handguard includes a full-length Picatinny rail across the top for optics mounting, M-LOK slots at multiple positions, and QD sling attachment points for versatile rigging. Textured grip surfaces keep your hold secure even in less-than-ideal conditions. Note that the bolt carrier group and charging handle are not included—a deliberate choice so you can select the components that match your build preferences and budget.
