 My , that's a tight one . <laughs>   

   Get another ejection port cover or swap one from another rifle to see if its the same on both rifles . I have a couple that are tight , but not like that . You could wear out the upper receiver with it like that .

  See what  Areo has to say about it , call or Email them ..

The "B" one won't work. The "A" one should though since it's for DPMS/SR-25 pattern mags.

Yup, those will work fine. You can use this LR308 kit (cheaper and interchangeable).

I don't trust UTG... I'd look at the Midwest Industries rails for a cheaper one.

Awesome, thank you very much for that link!

 

 

 

 

 

So I take it that the "MI-308SS15-DHK MI D.P.M.S. .308 KeyMod Series One Piece Free Float Handguard, .210 Upper Tang, 15-inch Rifle Length"   Would be the DPMS High, cause the Aero Precision M5 Upper receivers are "DPMS High".    https://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=1230
