The upper is fine, but PA has posted an incorrect photo.
by Ronald -
The photo posted for this receiver is wrong. What I received does not have a forge mark, the brass deflector is not tapered, and the relief for the firing pin cam is different.
Who makes the upper that is being shipped out?
From PA: We purchase these directly from the manufacturer. We'll be happy to accept a return on this if you aren't satisfied with your upper. We'll update the photo for this item.
Excellent

I love these uppers. Clean, well made, and the design fits lowers like a glove. I only use this upper for home builds now - as long as it's available.
Two too many...

I bought one upper and had to return it because it was milled incorrectly and my Anderson, Bravo or Geiselle charging handles wouldn't fit in it. Hoping is was a freak mistake, I asked for an exchange and the next receiver I was shipped had exactly the same problem. I'm done, no more Aero slick-sides for me, the QC is seriously lacking.
Buy something else and save yourself the aggravation.
It was good to speak you on this issue and make sure we got you taken care of.
Out of spec, had to return it.

This receiver looked great but I couldn't get charging handles to fit in it. Anderson, Bravo, Geissele, and Strike Ind. all failed to fit, only the new Rise Armament handle would fit in this receiver. Returned for an exchange and the replacement had same problem, returned that one for refund
P.A. customer service was top-notch thru the whole process and is the reason I keep coming back, great service and good prices.
Huge fan of Aero recievers

Built two uppers with these. Both are amazing. Wish more companies made slick sided complete uppers. Have Radian and BCM charging handles on them, and they work great. Feed ramps line up great with Ballistic Advantage barrels.
Very good for the money; would recommend.

Overall, an excellent upper if you are looking for something without the forward assist, especially if you can buy this on sale. Fit is very good. It meshes almost perfectly with the SOLGW rail I had purchased previously (only issue being the slight difference in height, maybe a 32nd of an inch). Most importantly, it works well with the charging handle and fits far better with the lower I will be reusing from an older rifle.
Only two issues that keep it from getting a 5 star are as follows. For the regular price, this seems high to have the T markings only printed on. Also, the Magpul dust port cover took a while to break in to where it would open freely without getting stuck only open 1/3 of the way.
Overall, great upper receiving. I would recommend it if you want a non-forward assist upper and don't want to break the bank.

Works smooth and is streamlined. Been beating it up for months and loving it.
