Looking at one of their 18" stainless barreled uppers for a new yote gun. Are they as good as I've been lead to believe? Their stuff seems like an excellent value.

Their 5.56/ 300 BO stuff is good to go. Aero bought out Ballistic Advantage, who are now producing Aero's barrels.
Aero is and was the OEM manufacturer for other marks that you would recognize as high quality.
I've been eyeballing the stripped/OEM Aero carbine Brownells is pimping.
What is the consensus these days on these treated barrels vs traditional chrome lined?

I have no experience with their barrels, but I'm quite pleased with the quality of their forged lowers. I'm building up a 9mm pistol (SBR once stamp clears) using an Aero lower, it has noticeably higher QC than most of the competitors at the price.

I have a couple of their lowers, I haven't seen anything askew it.
I was less than thrilled that they mailed them to the wrong FFL, which was 40 miles away. It was ordered during a busy/frantic time for ARs. I didn't want to wait for them to fix it so I made the drive to get them.
If I were buying another AR today and I didn't want to spend the extra money for a hammer forged barrel from BCM or DD, I'd buy the Aero Precision OEM rifle. The only remote concern I have is how the gas block is attached.

I've been using Aero uppers & lowers for most custom builds in the last year & have had no issues at all. Very pleased with everything. Just ordered a bunch of their M4s for stock today, so I'll see how good a job they do putting 'em together sometime next week when they arrive.

Aero Precision is easily one of the best values out there. I can vouch for upper and lower receivers; they've all worked and fit great together as sets as well as with known quality brands. I just received a complete BCM upper in the mail yesterday, waiting on the complete BCM lower to show up at my FFL and I STILL want to justify building another rifle using some Aero products.
