Only logged in customers who have purchased this product may leave a review.
Does this upper include a BCG or charging handle?
No — the BCG and charging handle are sold separately as an add-on.
What’s the barrel finish?
Nitride, a durable, corrosion-resistant finish that runs cooler than chrome-lined barrels.
Will this fit my AR-15 lower?
Yes, it’s a standard mil-spec AR-15 upper and drops onto any mil-spec lower receiver.
What’s the barrel twist rate?
1:9, well suited to lighter 55-62 grain 5.56/.223 loads.
Is this upper fully assembled?
Yes, the upper itself is fully assembled — only the BCG and charging handle need to be added to complete it.
Is there a longer handguard option?
Yes, see the linked 15″ M-LOK version above if you’d rather run a longer rail.



Stan (verified owner) –
I bought this for a first build (added in a BCG & charging handle too). After laser bore sighting the scope I was getting 1MOA groups at 100 yards on any target I pointed it at. Very happy! Looking forward to ordering another one for the next build.
