The Aero Precision M5 Stripped Upper is a bare, unassembled upper receiver designed for AR-10-style rifles, serving as the foundation for custom large-frame rifle builds. As a stripped upper, it does not include any pre-installed components, such as the forward assist, ejection port cover, or barrel, allowing builders to fully customize their upper assembly with their choice of parts. This stripped configuration provides maximum flexibility for those looking to tailor their rifle to specific needs. Machined from high-strength 7075-T6 aluminum, the M5 Stripped Upper is built for durability and precision. It features a sleek design with a Picatinny top rail for mounting optics and is compatible with Aero Precision’s M5 lower receivers and other DPMS High Profile components. Finished with Type III hard anodizing, it offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability. With its robust construction and versatile platform, the Aero Precision M5 Stripped Upper is an ideal starting point for custom AR-10 builds in calibers like .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor.
