Frequently Asked Questions
What does BLEM mean for this handguard? BLEM indicates minor cosmetic blemishes from manufacturing, such as small scratches or anodizing inconsistencies. The handguard is fully functional and backed by Aero Precision’s quality standards.
Is this handguard compatible with my AR15 upper receiver? Yes, it’s designed for standard mil-spec AR15/M4 platforms, including most aftermarket uppers, as long as you use the included barrel nut.
What are the advantages of Gen 2 over previous versions? Gen 2 features reduced rail sections for weight savings and improved rear ergonomics, plus anti-rotation tabs for enhanced stability during use.
Note:Â Aero Precision is listing these under a Blem SKU meaning that they will have a very minor cosmetic blemish of some kind that will in no way affect the function of the product. In our experience, this typically amounts to a minor run-in the anodize or a slightly different color variation than the norm. In most cases, we can not see why they are called blems. They have even told us that the blem in the finish could be hidden away due to it being on the internal surface of the receiver. BLEM SKUs are not eligible to be returned.
