tolerances on the takedown pin holes were correct, no slop. integrated trigger guard saves a step in the build. one nit, the aero logo on the magwell is placed a touch off center compared to my other M4E1, only OCD builders will notice
aero quality is what you expect at this price point, no complaints on machining. only knock is i ordered two from different batches and the anodize is a noticeable shade off in direct light. matched within the same build is fine
