I purchased this for my A2 retro build I’ve been working on and I couldn’t be happier. It’s a solid upper and matched great with my Wilson lower. Highly recommend. Not sure why OP can’t be happy with a normal length review. I said all i needed to say about the upper. Hopefully it will help you decide on if you should get it or not

This is an excellent upper that pairs well with a DD Omega 12 (hard to find as they've been discontinued). Useful for marksman applications and similar roles.Beware that the twist rate is actually 1:7 not the 1:8 shown on OP

This upper runs like a champ!! Threw in a microbest bcg. Perfectly gassed and very soft shooting. The carry handle is great quality also. Very easy to sight in. I have 0 complaints with 100rds through it so far

I bought this as a nostalgia piece. Well made and fit nicely with my lower. Iron sights are the gear shift off the gun world but I still like hitting a target at 500 yards without a scope. Rear elevation knob is a little stiff but should improve with use.

This upper is now entirely Aero Precision, with the HBAR being a solid chrome-lined 20" DMR barrel from Ballistic Advantage, just Stag Arms name etched on it. Not a complaint at all; this upper is actually a very nice setup for anyone wanting a straight A2 target rifle or a free-float DMR style weapon. I could only recommend getting a nicer set of Colt or IMI A2 handguards, these Aero handguards were sharp edged and have thin heat shields compared to real A2 plastics. The rest of the parts are great!Unfortunately, it will not truly accept a Knight's Armament M5 RAS (M16A4 Service Rifle) handguard without removal or thinning of the front barrel clamp crescent, as the barrel is a straight profile 0.905" under the handguard from chamber cone to the FSB's gas block journal. Apparently older (actual) Stag Arms HBAR uppers had a thinner profile where the M5 RAS worked w/o modification. Just FYI for M16A4 clones.

A very well made upper with a 4150 CMV phosphated barrel outside Chrome lined inside. No roll marks in the typical place on top of the barrel between the front sight and the flash hider, but if you take off the hand guards, the right side has laser etched info with the stag arms logo, caliber, twist rate (1/7), 4150, and HBAR. The handguards are good quality, and everything is put together very well. The upper, as well as the included carry handle/rear sight, are all made out of forged 7075 aluminum.
