Aero Precision AR 15 upper parts with Blackrifledepot? Perhaps no gun in history has received the fame, praise, and the criticism as the AR 15 rifle. In the United States, the political advances of gun rights have easily made the AR 15 the poster child for both sides of the debate. No other gun is as beloved by gun rights supporters than the AR 15, as the rifle represents the perfect example of the Second Amendment. On the Other side, supporters for gun control see it as a weapon of mass destruction that is simply designed to eliminate lives due to the nature of the weapon. They bring up it’s ability to rapid fire and expanded magazine capacities. Even though this rifle (and many others like it) is used in less than 1% of total deaths in the United States, there is no denying the fact that this gun is in the spotlight for both sides of the debate.

Keymod vs M-LOK: Which One is best? While each system has its own set of advantages, disadvantages, and style, it will really come down to personal preference which one is better. In 2016, the United States Special Operations Command put the two systems through a series of tests to see which one was better. The purpose was to see which one survived rough handling, drop tests, failure loads and endurance tests. In the endurance and rough handling tests, both systems had zero issues. A difference came with a repeatability test, and M-LOK came out on top when it came to least amount of MOA shift when removing, then reattaching a rail with laser sight. Another difference was found in the drop test, when it was found that M-LOK accessories remained attached 100% of the time while keymod accessories only remained attached 33% of the time.

A common misconception about cold hammer forging is the “cold” part of the process. These barrels are usually done at room temperature. The pressure that is then generated creating these barrels does heat them up a bit, and the barrels must also be stress-relieved by further heating after forging. While this whole process can be done by heating up the barrels to extreme temperatures, today’s technology does not require it and is why it is called “cold” hammer forging.

Depending on the laws in your state and your willingness to do extra paperwork, a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) can make for a very handy package. Obviously, NFA rules do apply.

The other type of handguards that are the most popular are free-float handguard options. Almost all of these are made out of aluminum instead of polymer. They generally also cost a little more, but they do offer a big advantage over drop-in handguards in that they do not contact the forward portion of the barrel, which can be a major benefit to the rifle’s accuracy. Free-float handguards usually come in one solid piece that will slide around the barrel and are generally attached with some sort of barrel nut. These types of handguards are usually equipped with different types of mounting systems and accessories, as well as being available in different sizes, lengths, and styles. Free float handguards will also sometimes require more effort and time to install, and some will even require the use of special tools or equipment as well. Free float handguards are quickly becoming some of the most popular handguards on in the market today.
