VIDEO: Aero Solus Short Action Pistol Delivers Versatile Shooter

Aero Precision just launched an interesting platform in direct response to the June 13th overturning of the onerous ATF Pistol Brace Ruling. The resulting Aero Solus Short Action Pistol brings a versatile platform for shooting and hunting.

Aero Solus Short Action Pistol

Like the Solus Competition Rifle, the Solus Short Action Pistol features a Remington 700 short-action footprint. It includes a 60-degree bolt throw and integral 20 MOA top rail. A three-lug interchangeable bolt head, dual ejectors and a “cock-on-lift” bolt design add greater appeal. The action comes bedded in Aero’s 7.5-inch Solus Competition chassis.

The magazine catch features user adjustability, while a thumb rest delivers a feature precision shooters demand. The platform works off both AICS and AIWIW magazines and is compatible with AR-15-style pistol grips. The chassis features a 1913 rear, includes an Acra and M-LOK-compatible forend. A night vision bridge and Picatinny spigot deliver more utility.

Aero will offer the Solus pistols in several calibers, including .300 BLK, 5.56, .223, .308 Win., 6.5 Creedmoor and 8.6 BLK. Barrels come honed and lapped and exhibit an elite Cerakote finish. Barrel lengths come in 8, 10.5 and 12 inches.

All configurations will be offered in eight different colors, including Black, FDE, Bazooka Green, Black Cherry, SOCOM Blue, RAL8000, Copper Suede and Tungsten. A Trigger Tech Single Stage Trigger comes standard, as does one 10-round Magpul PMAG.
