Aero Precision AR 15 Parts | AERO Precision

Aero Precision Manufacturing started making aerospace parts
before beginning to make AR components. Because they had been used to working under
high demand conditions and delivering parts to exacting standards, they were a
natural place for big name suppliers to contact when they could not find enough
parts to fill demand.

Aero Precision initially began manufacturing upper and lower
receivers for a few of the big names in the industry. In fact, they still do.
But they have also built on their shiny reputation to become a recognized brand
in their own right.

As Aero Precision continued to evolve and enjoy some early
success, they grew their manufacturing of AR parts exponentially. They even
purchased new state of the art machines to ramp up production. The early acquisition
from the Tacoma, Washington Based company, Aero Precision of the Somersworth,
New Hampshire precision machining company Fall Machine showed just how serious
they were about keeping the quality high on the expanding catalogue of parts.

Does Aero Precision Make Good Parts?

Aero Precision has always maintained very high standards of quality
control, carried over from their aero space manufacturing days. Because they
order the raw materials and machine them to exact tolerances before finishing
them to show quality, they have consistently been able to produce some of the
highest quality products on the market.

The reason their products do not carry the price tag that
would be more indicative of the level of quality is because they do not have to
use any third-party middlemen that typically raise the cost. They also do not
yet have a brand name that requires a heavy reimbursement to cover massive
marketing campaigns, like so many of the other branded products on the market
today.

Is Aero Precision any Good?

All of the raw materials used to manufacture parts at Aero
Precision are 100% US sourced. In fact, they do not import a single piece of
aluminum for any of their Aero Precision parts. They are proud of that fact they
make American Parts from American Suppliers.

So, Aero Precision uses the very best materials on the
absolute most state of the art machines. They do this so they can yield the best
consistency across the board for their growing catalogue of products. To date they have been doing that for over
ten years and their reputation has grown consistently over time. Online as well
as in person people commonly refer to Aero Precision parts as “the best value
on the market”.

Is Aero Precision as Good as BCM?

The short answer is yes if you factor in all variables. Aero
Precision Manufacturing products are made to mil-spec. They are far more
affordable. Plus, the difference in cost is not worth the slight increase in
quality to most gun owners and shooters.

The question is very much like asking is a Lexus as good as
a Lamborghini. “good” becomes a subjective term. Are they both high quality?
Yes. Are they both reliable? Yes. Do both serve a purpose? Of course. But is it
the same to have a Lexus or Lambo? The answer is no, but that being said, if
you need, want, and can afford the Lexus, should you not buy it because the Lamborghini
is considered better by some people?

Who Makes Barrels for Aero Precision?

That is a tricky question. They do, at least they do through
their partner company Ballistic Advantage. Aero Precision bought out a majority
share position of the Ballistic Advantage Barrel Manufacturing Company.

Ballistic Advantage makes all of their Modern Series and
Performance Lines barrels from 4150 chromoly vanadium steel. They also use a
FailZero nickel-boron finish on the barrel extension as well as individually
high-pressure testing and magnetic particle-inspecting them.

Their Premium series lineup is constructed using 416
stainless steel. They also have a recessed target crown and are finished using
bead-blasting. These premium barrels also have FailZero nickel-boron barrel
extensions as well as being HP and MPI-tested. Both the companies have well-established
reputations from delivering above-average products at extremely competitive
prices.

What Makes Aero Precision Parts Different that Other Mil-Spec Products?

The term mil-spec refers to certain measurements and
consistency with regards to the design. Some companies have a much broader
range of tolerance, but still manage to officially qualify as mil-spec.

Aero Precision parts, on the other hand, use machines that allow
them to make their tolerance spectrum much tighter than most. So, while two parts that claim to be mil-spec
are probably mil-spec in nature, the precise way that Aero Precision parts fit
together and work with other higher end products is markedly noticeable. You
will be happy with the level of quality you receive from your Aero Precision
parts.

What to Expect from Aero Precision in the Future

Aero Precision plans to continue making high-quality parts
and using their in-house production to keep costs down for consumers. They are committed
to maintaining a channel for first time buyers as well as custom builders a
product to buy with confidence and assurance that they are getting a top
quality part at an affordable price.
