Aero Precision just introduced two new barrel options in their growing line of high quality and affordable AR-15 barrels. They now offer 5.56 chambered 11.5″ and 12.5″ CMV Barrels.

These government profile barrels are both turned from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel. They have carbine gas systems and 1 in 7″ twist rates with a 5.56 chamber. The barrels are HP and MPI tested.

Aero Precision is giving away one of their new M5E1 complete rifles but isn’t just any M5E1. It is a custom built M5E1 with serial number 1.

This rifle comes loaded:

• Upper: M5E1 Upper Receiver
• Lower: M5 Lower Receiver
• Barrel: 16″ CMV .308 Barrel, mid-length
• Handguard: 12″ KeyMod
• Scope: Vortex Viper PST 1-4 scope
• 30mm extended scope mount
• Geissele trigger
• BCM keymod vertical grip
• SilencerCO muzzle brake
• Magpul P-MAG (10 or 25-rounder, depending on state regulations)

I figured that when Aero Precision started rolling out their line of .308 AR products it would only be a matter of time before they offered complete rifles. I am glad to say that, in this case, I was right. The new M5 .308 complete rifles are now available.

These new rifle look great on paper and the price is right. They are available with 16, 18, and 20″ 4150 CMV barrels. The barrels have a 1 in 10″ twist and are Melonite treated. The barrels are mounted in AP’s M5 upper receiver which has a machined in extension that serves as the attachment point for their rails.

The lower comes outfitted with a Magpul MOE Grip and STR stock on a standard mil-spec extension for the 16″ versions and a PRS stock for the 18″ and 20″ versions. It features markings and pin groove to allow the use of Battle Arms Development’s excellent short throw selectors. The lower accepts SR-25 pattern magazines which means it is good to go with Magpul’s affordable and readily available .308 PMAGS.
