why did aero decide to make a 16" first before 18" or 20"? arent longer lengths for .308 more desirable?

That's a good question, you certainly get more velocity out of a 18 and 20". Depending on which blanks they used, perhaps it was just to get more barrels per blank. I'll have to ask.

They are also doing the M5E1, which is the 308 version of their enhanced upper.
