Design and Construction

The AERO PRECISION M5 is built on Aero Precision’s AR-10 platform with forged 7075-T6 aluminum upper and lower receivers that are precision-machined for tight tolerances and long-term durability. The rifle’s 20-inch barrel—available in 416R stainless or CMV steel with finishes like QPQ or bead-blasted—gives a balance of rigidity and thermal stability that benefits accuracy at distance.

Operating System and Ergonomics

This model uses a semi-automatic direct impingement gas system for reliable cycling and a familiar AR-10 shootability profile. A free-floating M-LOK handguard optimizes barrel harmonics while providing ample attachment points for optics, bipods, and lights. Weight sits in the 9–10 lb range depending on configuration, giving a stable shooting platform without excessive bulk.

Caliber, Magazines, and Ballistics

Chambered in .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO), the M5 delivers proven terminal performance and wide ammunition availability. The 20-inch barrel yields excellent muzzle velocity for the caliber, improving long-range groups and trajectory. Magazine compatibility with SR-25/DPMS Gen 1 pattern magazines (10-round capacity standard) ensures a large aftermarket of quality magazines and accessories.

Trigger Options and Modularity

The rifle ships with either a mil-spec trigger or can be upgraded with the Aero Precision Enhanced Trigger Kit for crisper break and improved shot-to-shot consistency. Modularity is a core advantage: the M5 accepts a broad range of Aero parts and AR-10 aftermarket components for stocks, rails, and muzzle devices.

Buying Considerations

If you require a reliable semi-auto AR-10 with proven .308 ballistics, the AERO PRECISION M5 is engineered for precision and service life.
