This Complete Upper includes Aero’s Gen 2 Enhanced Handguard! Key features include the addition of quick disconnect sling sockets, enhanced milling design for grip and visual appeal and a new profile for the picatinny top rail.
Aero Precision has taken the pain out of building a legal 14.5″ rifle build. These pinned and welded 14.5″ complete uppers feature an Epsilon 556SL that is permanently affixed to the muzzle providing an overall legal length of 16″. Worried you might want to change your gas block? No worries! The outer diameter of the Epsilon 556SL allows you to easily slide your gas block over the muzzle device making it easy to change or service your gas system.
If you’ve had a 14.5″ build planned, but didn’t want to deal with the hassle of getting it pinned and welded or being stuck with a specific configuration, then our 14.5 pinned and welded barrels/uppers are for you!
