The new COP complete upper is a plug and play platform that allows you to completely customize your rail out of the box and utilizes a continuous one-piece upper.
In 1993, I was attending the local gun shows every month with my father and once in a while we would even rent a table to barter guns. At the time I was just 19 years old and I remember all of the prices tripled overnight because of the talk surrounding the pending Auto Weapons Ban (AWB), also known as the Brady Bill.
The same year as the AWB went into effect, Aero Precision was born as a manufacturer of jet engine components for Boeing right here in my backyard of Tacoma, Washington. A few years later while all of us regular Joes were wishing we had bought an AR-15, Aero decided to get into the AR-15 manufacturing business. “It’s the same type of core work, which is horizontal machining, said Scott Dover, co-founder”.
In 2004 when the AWB of 1994 was not renewed, the floodgates of AR goodness started flowing and Aero Precision had already made the transition into firearms manufacturing doing OEM work for other manufacturers such as Spikes Tactical, Surplus ammo and LMT. It is no secret and is all over the Internet that Aero is or was at one time a manufacturer for these companies and more, just Google it!
Aero eventually began selling and marketing their own brand of upper and lowers with great success and I was an early adopter of their products. Of the 200 or so AR’s I have built to date, I would say Aero was one of my favorite go to lowers because of the cost and quality, which was only second to MEGA Arms on my list.
Until recently, one of the things that eluded me most was acquiring Aero’s Continuous Optics Platform (COP) upper. I had only seen photos and never really got the chance to play with one until they recently announced the introduction of their newest COP upper, the complete COP Pistol/SBR version.
