    I bought a 300BLK upper from them and it's been GTG.

    I haven't bought anything from Aero recently but a couple lowers I bought two years ago were out of spec. I sent them back and got a refund but It took awhile before someone got back to me. I won't buy anything from them again. I steer clear of Aero, Anderson and any polymer lowers.

    Initially in 2015 I bought a COP upper. After having to replace it four times because the rail panels wouldn't fit correctly I finally settled for one that the panels fit decently but not anything like 'Precision' machining. I am unsure if I will ever buy from them again. That's two Wa. State companies that have disappointed me.

    The three stripped lowers I built up off of were in spec. I have another to that have yet to be built/assembled, so we will see. The feedback I have read here and elsewhere does not give me a lot of confidence in their other parts. A lower is pretty hard to mess up. Barrels, BCGs, etc. are something else.
    I hope their purchase of Ballistic Advantage didn't gum up the works there, as my next builds will be using their barrel and BCG.

    I voted good to go but now I want to change my vote.

    I have a forged Aero lower that was built recently. I had a Geissele trigger group in it, but sold that and went to put a drop in POF trigger in. Prior to buying the POF trigger I had SBRd this lower.

    OMFG. It was almost impossible to get that trigger installed (10 minute job took 2 hours). It appears that the forward trigger housing is slightly out of spec. I talked to the POF guys and they indicated that a lot of manufacturers have recently been switching the front radius inside of the trigger housing and cutting it down by 1/8 from where it would normally be on a mil spec unit. It won't affect the fit of a military two piece trigger group but will cause drop in units to be too tight in many cases.

    I did ultimately get the trigger installed by doing some interesting tricks, not sure if I'll ever get it out again without destroying the lower.

    No more Aero Precision for me. I have two Spike's lowers I also put these POF drop ins into and I never had problems with either of them.

    I have an upper, lower, BCG and charging handle . Everything is great. Their technical service department is sometimes spotty.

    I bought a complete upper and BCG from them. Stainless 1:8 barrel, 15" M-lok. Using a 1-6 Vortex, 5 shot groups with quality ammo are right at 1 MOA. No issues with anything. I would buy from them again.

    I've had a few upper receivers from them for builds, a lower, their enhanced upper receiver and rail combo, and a 10.5" barrel. All have been excellent in terms of function, dimensions, finish, accuracy, and delivery. A few friends I've done builds for have used their components with equal success as well.

    My 10.5" barrel runs suppressed and unsuppressed without any need for a fancy gas block, buffer weight swapping, or aftermarket bolt carriers. Accuracy has been great, but I haven't benched it with glass and match ammo to really see how tight it will shoot.

    I see no reason to buy other components these days, and their complete rifles look like a steal.

    What's the other WA company that disappointed you?
