The Aero Precision M5E1 6.5 Creedmoor assembled upper receiver in FDE with a 22" barrel is a precision rifle platform built from the ground up for target shooters and long-range hunters who demand accuracy. This complete upper (minus bolt carrier group and charging handle, which you'll select separately) pairs a 416R stainless steel barrel with a 1-8" twist rate that stabilizes the full spectrum of 6.5 Creedmoor target loads—from lighter match rounds to heavy hunting bullets. The 22" rifle-length gas system stretches velocity to maximize energy downrange while its extra length reduces gas velocity for smoother cycling and less stress on your carrier and receiver.
Built on a forged 7075-T6 aluminum receiver with hardcoat anodized matte black finish, this upper is compatible with DPMS Gen I LR-308 pattern lower receivers and accepts any DPMS-pattern bolt carrier group and charging handle you choose. The factory-installed A2-style flash suppressor is threaded on, so you can swap it for a suppressor or muzzle brake that matches your setup. Aero's Gen 2 Enhanced M-LOK handguard features a full-length uninterrupted Picatinny rail across the top—perfect for mounting optics and precision accessories—with M-LOK slots and QD sling swivel sockets at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock. Milled texture on the grip flats improves control and adds visual character.
This is the rifle for shooters who refuse to compromise on fit, finish, or repeatability. The FDE coating and fluted barrel keep weight down without sacrificing rigidity, making it equally at home at the range, in competition, or in the field when accuracy matters most.
