Aero COP 4
I searched and did not find it (on here and google).
I am interested in reading some first hand reviews, pros/cons and seeing what opinions people had after prolonged use.
I am looking to build a 7.5 or so shorty pistol and I really like the upper/rail combo set, specirfically this type of setup:

Anyone give me the low down on it?
thanks

I've got a COP upper I've got around 700-800 rounds of 300 BLK though. I used it with a 10.5" and a pistol lower. It's held up to plinking use well. I have the midlength version. They plan to release a rifle length later this year, early next year. That's really what I'd like to use for a rifle upper.
The only downside I see with the COP upper is that you have to "build" and use a torx screw to add the side and bottom rails/handguard pieces. In that aspect it's not a true monolithic like the Mega or LMT. Additional points of possible failure. Mine hasn't loosened up though.
The Aero does have price going for it, and since they sell a minimalist kit with options to purchase individual parts, that drove the price down a bit further vs a full kit.

I have that exact setup. I LOVE it! The only problem is the quality of aero's cerakote. It is outsourced, and is done incredibly quick, has flaws, and is VERY thin.

I've never used a receiver cerakoted by Aero. Not being a cerakote expert myself... how can you tell if the application is too thin? Spots?

The cerakote was worn through the spot on the lower where the dust cover hits before I even shot the thing. The dust cover was probably only opened 15-20 times before it was a thin line of bare metal where it hits.
Also, when I received the upper in the mail, one of the forward rail sections had a large blemish in the cerakote. Luckly Aero is only about a 45 minute drive from me because they wanted me to ship back the whole upper to get just a new rail section.
Needless to say, if I buy more stuff from aero, it will be black or raw aluminum and I will have someone else do the cerakote.Last edited by Jmr73188; 11 September 2014 at 20:55.

How are these COPs compared to say a VLTOR VIS?
I was considering a cerakoted lower, but after reading jmr's review on how thin it is, I'm going to have to reconsider. Though, I heard that cerakote is durable, except when hit by a pointed object/edge.
