AERO M5 COMPLETE UPPER 22 6.5CREED FLUTED FDE

The Aero Precision M5 complete upper in 6.5 Creedmoor with fluted stainless barrel gives you a precision-ready upper receiver assembly built on the proven M5 platform. Whether you're building a long-range hunting rifle, setting up a match gun, or assembling a versatile precision rifle, this complete upper arrives ready to attach to your lower receiver—no gunsmithing required. The fluted barrel reduces weight while maintaining rigidity, and the stainless steel construction delivers excellent corrosion resistance and repeatability for hand loaders and shooters who demand consistency.

The ATLAS S-ONE 15 M-LOK handguard is Aero's solid-mounting design that locks your accessories down securely without the micro-play of conventional rails. The free-floating barrel and machined upper receiver meet Aero's quality standards, making this a platform trusted by hunters, competitive shooters, and precision rifle builders. The FDE Cerakote finish provides a professional appearance while protecting against wear and the elements.

Since this is a complete upper receiver assembly, you'll need a compatible M5 lower receiver to finish the rifle. This upper works with standard AR-compatible charging handles and carriers. If you're new to the M5 platform or just want a hassle-free complete upper to add to your build, this is a straightforward path to a rifle capable of excellent accuracy and durability.
