You probably figured it out by now, but with the enhanced it’s plug and play essentially. You insert the barrel and tighten down the barrel nut, then the hand guard just slides over and fits only one way on the receiver and you just tighten down the screws on the outside of the hand guard. And you’re done. Obviously you put your gas black and tube in. Before the hand guard
I have an enhanced upper that has a manufacturing defect… the barrel mounting shelf/rim is off by over a mm from left to right causing the barrel to cant right (very noticeably right.. so much my rear sight is adjusted to its far left position). I’ve submitted a ticket for the problem and I’m being ignored. What now?
I have seen lots of information about handguard compatibility with the enhanced upper, but nothing on barrel compatibility. Does barrel compatibility change with the enhanced upper, or is it compatible with any AR15 barrel? I am thinking about knocking a couple builds out with my Christmas bonus this year and since they are both based around Proof Research barrels, the possible accuracy advantage of the enhanced upper appeals to me, but I don't want to spend the money on the barrels and find out they are not compatible with the enhanced uppers.
I have an enhanced upper receiver in both AR-10/15, but I wish that for the AR-10 build a longer handguard for protection of the gas block, 15” too short. My only complaint about AP.
I just made the mistake of buying an atlas hand guard for my enhanced upper. I'm ignorant. My question is if I wanted to change my upper can I use the same barrel and gas tube assy that is in my enhanced upper. I prefer the slimmer hand guard now that I have more experience shooting. Hope you can answer this. Thanks
The ATLAS handguard is not compatible with Enhanced upper receivers and utilizes a proprietary barrel nut (which is included with the purchase of the handguard). Reach out to our live chat on our website (8am-4pm PST, Mon-Fri) for more information!
We should have additional lengths including a 10.5" in the near future. With current demand in the industry we've seen a few delays on some things we've had planned.
Im assuming you are talking about the quad rail going from 50% of the handguard down to the muzzle, right? Im wondering why they did that. Is it for weight reduction? Whats the drawback of not having rails in that area?
I am new to this. Will the m4e1 upper fit on a mil spec ar15 lower? Does the threaded or enhanced matter in this situation or is it purely a difference regarding hand guards?
Hi, are you going to make a handguard with a smaller diameter for a better grip? Because the current hand guard I find it too important and my friends have the same opinion. Thank you.
Would have loved to see the barrel nut and or barrel installation in the enhanced upper

Buying one today to match my new Aero M4E1 lower 👍🏻
Just got my 15" Atlas S One, it's amazing.
It rules, 100%
Got a stripped M4E1 upper on the way to go onto my old Gen 3 Umbrella Corporation lower. Stoked.
Sold out everywhere. When can we expect M4E1 Enhanced uppers back in stock?
Just on sale. 400
Just order mines. When I saw It was available to checkout. I waited no time to think. It just shipped out.
You still happy with it?

Would be a great benefit to see a better demo of how they work, instead of talking and pointing.

We have a longer version planned. Just difficult to find machine time for a new product right now.
Coming soon. ;)
The enhanced handguard on the short side for a 24" barrel, but I love my AP!
So for the M5E1 upper, only Enhanced Carbine buffer kit is good to go?
How do you get the damn barrel nut off??? None of my tools will work and the cop wrench is sold out.

About to make an 11.5” build, wish you had a 10.5” enhanced hand guard ... oh well I may go longer hand guard and throw a can on it

Aero Precision, LLC awesome news!!! I know everything is insane right now
What upper receiver vise block do you recommend?
sell an upper that requires a proprietary $200 handguard. You should team up with snap on
are all your M4E1 upper barrels HP and MP tested?
I just wish the quad rail handguard wasn’t half the barrel

@@SoFly2H2D Less 'stuff' for your hand to hold onto. If you just run a light or flip up front sight its a nice solution and is a little lighter.
I can’t pull my barrel out of the enhanced receiver, something clicked into place and locked it so I can’t remove it.
wha did you do
Can you use Quantum handguard with enhanced upper?
So are the barrels the same?
Can you take it off and it becomes a normal threaded one or is it part of the piece
Its forged as part of the Upper.
Can’t find an M5 enhanced hand guard anywhere so looks like my build is on hold
If you and your employee sockpuppet accounts could stop spamming your products on the gundeals subreddit, that would be great.
Does the stripped enhanced receiver come with a barrel nut wrench/spanner? Do the complete Uppers come with one also?
I am new to this. Will the m4e1 upper fit on a mil spec ar15 lower? Does the threaded or enhanced matter in this situation or is it purely a difference regarding hand guards?
So if i buy a complete m4e1 upper will it fit into my ar15 lower?
@@alexmangyan7725 yes the upper will attach to any milspec lower. Only the handguards are different.
Would the enhanced handguard fit the threaded upper?
Nope

Does Aero ship rifles to Germany 🇩🇪?
Everything is soldout
👍
This product is awesome but that was a terrible review...
