Aero Precision AR-15 and AR-10 Components

About Aero Precision

Aero Precision began in 1994 as a small aerospace manufacturing shop near Tacoma, Washington, founded by Scott Dover.

The company initially specialized in producing precision parts for the aerospace industry, building a customer list that included Boeing.

This aerospace background instilled the company's core philosophy of precision manufacturing and tight tolerances that would later become their signature in the firearms industry.

With the growing demand for modern sporting rifles, Aero Precision leveraged their CNC machining expertise to enter the firearms industry as an OEM supplier before launching their own branded products.

Today, Aero Precision operates from a 268,000-square-foot facility in Lakewood, Washington, and has become one of the largest manufacturers of AR firearm parts and components in the United States.
