Aero Precision Breach Ambidextrous Charging Handle

Description:

The Aero Precision BREACH is a rugged, ambidextrous, precision-manufactured charging handle for the M5/AR308 platform. The BREACH’s design utilizes a reinforced 7075 aluminum bar that is up to the most demanding tasks. Its ambidextrous levers feature a patent-pending, dual spring system, that directs the force-of-use into the robust charging handle body. This allows the shooter to use a one-handed charging technique without compromising the part — a pitfall for traditional charging handles.

The small lever configuration provides a low-profile, easily gripped interface that is comfortable when slung and can be actuated effortlessly from either side of your rifle.
The large lever configuration provides an extended operating surface, perfect for a user with bigger hands, or someone who wants a larger surface for manipulation of the charging handle.

Features:

Ambidextrous Controls: Ergonomically designed 7075 Aluminum levers allow the user to easily charge their firearm with either hand while remaining low profile and comfortable when slung.
Robust Construction: Reduced chamfer angles on the 7075 Aluminum reinforced bar design provide a strong foundation for the BREACH that is resistant to rotational flex or breakage.
Patent-pending Lever Mechanism: Transfers force-of-use away from the roll pins and into the top/head portion of the reinforced bar protecting the charging handle in the most demanding circumstances.
Gas Deflection Shelf: Aligns with the upper receiver to redirect gas flow away from the user’s face when shooting suppressed.
Functional Design: It is not all just good looks. Stylistic cuts on the charging handle also help to clear stuck on carbon and debris from the upper receiver, while the spacer design seals and protects the lever mechanism from debris.

Additional Information:

The Aero Precision BREACH is a rugged ambidextrous charging handle, perfect for your next build!
The BREACH features a patent-pending, ambidextrous two-lever system allowing easy operation for right and left-handed shooters, utilizing a dual spring system for redundancy.
The back of the BREACH charging handle features a wall that works to index the charging handle on the upper receiver as well as help redirect any gas blowback away from the shooter’s face when shooting suppressed.
The body of the BREACH charging handle itself is thicker than traditional charging handles and features a reduced chamfer up top. This increases the durability of the part and makes for a more rugged charging handle design.
Each BREACH charging handle features a load-bearing surface on the charging handlebar that maintains contact with the levers when the handle is being pulled. This takes the stress off the roll pins, traditionally a failure point on mil-spec charging handles.
Available in a small lever, and large lever variant. The small lever provides a streamlined profile perfect for use in conjunction with a sling, while the large lever provides slightly more operating surface while taking steps to avoid becoming intrusive when used with a sling.
The Aero Precision breach is available for both AR15 and M5/AR308.

Aero Precision M5 ATLAS R-ONE M-LOK Handguard

Description

The ATLAS R-ONE is the newest addition to the Aero Precision Handguard lineup. Machined from 6061-T6 Aluminum, the R-ONE line of handguards are designed with size and weight in mind, providing the perfect handguard for your lightweight build. Our proprietary ATLAS attachment system is a durable and dependable mounting platform, maintaining a slim profile while still providing the strength and stability customers have grown to love from Aero Precision handguards.

Available in KeyMod and M-LOK® profiles with 12″ and 15″ options.

ATLAS

The new Aero Taper Lock Attachment System (ATLAS) is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. It features 2 mirrored tapered locking nuts that provide evenly distributed clamping pressure across a custom engineered barrel nut with use of a turnbuckle screw. A ratcheting detent further secures the design while providing positive registration during installation. By design, the even pressure of the ATLAS system avoids distortion of the handguard often seen with current applications during installation.

All hardware mounting parts are included with the purchase of an ATLAS Handguard.

Lightweight By Design

KeyMod Handguard Weights: 12″ – 7.84 oz / 15″ – 8.96 oz
M-LOK Handguard Weights: 12″ – 8 oz / 15″ – 9.07 oz
Mounting Hardware Weight: 4.72 oz (same across all ATLAS Handguard options)

Features:

Full top picatinny rail for optional attachments
Quick disconnect sling socket at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions
Compatible with low profile gas blocks
1.5″ Inside diameter
Compatible with AR308 upper receivers and barrels
NOT Compatible with M5E1 Enhanced Upper Receivers

ATLAS Handguards are designed to match seamlessly with our M5E1 Threaded Upper Receivers. However, they may not be compatible with billet upper receivers due to indexing tabs. Save when you buy them as a combo.

Need help installing your ATLAS Handguard? Check out our instructional video at the bottom of the page.

PLEASE NOTE: These handguards do not come with a wrench. A standard armorers wrench will work with all M5 ATLAS Handguards.

Aero Precision M5 Exotic Tiger Stripe Builder Set 308

Aero Precision M5 .308 Exotic Tiger Stripe Builder Set

The Tiger Stripe pattern is laser etched into the finish giving it a unique and comfortable texture.
