The Aero Precision M4E1 Lower Receiver delivers billet aesthetics in a forged package. This custom-designed enhanced forging is machined from 7075-T6 Aluminum and compatible with all mil-spec AR15 parts. Aside from the visual upgrades this custom engineered design provides that challenge much more expensive billet options, Aero has added several functional features to the lower receiver to simplify the assembly process for the at home builder.
M4E1 Lower Receiver Improvements:
- Threaded Bolt Catch Roll Pin—This pin allows for simple installation of the bolt catch and virtually eliminates the chance of damaging the finish during installation (pin included). A 1/16″ Hex Key is required for assembly.
- Integrated Trigger Guard—By integrating the trigger guard into the lower, the possibility of breaking the tabs is eliminated, creating a stronger, more rigid platform to build upon.
- Upper Tension Screw – This allows users to fine-tune the fit of the upper and lower receiver using a nylon-tipped tensioning set screw inserted in the grip tang of the lower receiver. This provides a tight fit with any standard AR15 upper receiver.
- Threaded Takedown Pin Detent Recess – Allows users to easily install the Takedown Pin detent and spring with the use of a 4-40 set screw (no more launching detents across the room).
- Increased Magwell Flare – Increased the flare of the magwell to aid in quick and efficient magazine changes.
- Marked and milled to accept short-throw safety selectors but will work with standard selectors as well.
Includes:
- Stripped M4E1 Lower Receiver
