Enhance the accuracy of your AR-10 rifle with the Aero Precision M5 free float handguard. Ditch the traditional two-piece handguard for something with a little more versatility. The M5 one-piece 15” handguard attaches to the M5E1 upper receiver via an integral barrel nut to ensure a tight fit and solid lockup. The anti-rotation tabs prevent the rail from rotating loose after long periods of time. It also features a DPMS high profile for a continuous picatinny top rail for BUIS or other accessories. This lightweight rail has M-LOK attachment points along the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions for mounting light, lasers, grips, or bipods. This Gen 2 M5 handguard offers new improvements such as 3 QD sling attachment points and additional milled cuts that create a more comfortable grip. Finish your AR-10 build with the Aero Precision Enhanced M5 handguard.

Note: Includes 16 pitch barrel nut for use with DPMS High. Will not work with Armalite .308.

The Aero Precision 15 inch handguard is designed to be slim and ergonomic while still offering enough room underneath for muzzle devices such as compensators and suppressors.

Excellent quality and rigidity

by

Installed on an Aero M5 parts build with an 18” Faxon Big Gunner barrel with an Aero AGB. Fit and finish are excellent and the rail is very rigid. Feels great in my hands and the BCM qds and Magpul pic rail fit perfectly. I’ve attached an ADM qd and Magpul bipod to the pic rail and it’s all very rigid.

Perfect Compatibility with Stag-10 Upper Receiver

by -

I was having trouble finding a Stag-10 FDE handguard to go with my Stag-10 FDE upper/lower receiver set. After returning a handguard from another vendor because it did not align with the receiver despite being high profile (and the color was lighter), I found this Aero M5 Enhanced at PA. Ordered and received in same week. The handguard fits and color matches exactly, likely since Stag Arms and Aero Precision are owned by same company. Great buy that completed my .308 build.
