Aero Precision is offering an "enhanced" upper receiver for their AR10s. Is it better? Anyone using it?
AERO Enhanced Upper
- Thread starter EDELWEISS
- Start date
just got two of their 'enhanced' ar-15 sets to build out. similar to the mega mkm series (i have a set in large frame for a future 6 or 6.5cm build, and i built out a small frame set into a valk). upper is machined with a flange to accept the handguards vs just attaching them to the barrel nut. seems way stronger and way less chance of affecting the barrel. only downside is you need to use their handguards but they seem to have a good selection so that's not holding you back. pricing is in the same ballpark so no downside there either.
seems that zev who bought mega has pretty much done away with these, seemed to be the biggest/best thing about mega so not sure why.

The primary advantage of the Aero enhanced uppers is the easy and very solid installment of the handguard. If you like that setup you should go with it. I've helped several friends and customers install theirs (or buy complete enhanced uppers) and they're all very happy with their setups for everything from 3-gun to precision to hunting rifles.
I have two enhanced uppers (they were part of complete uppers that I ordered), and one yet to be assembled upper. I sorta get the idea just never knew there was a need. I haven’t fired either yet so I’m hoping for good performance.
Thanks
