16″ 5.56 Upper with Vortex Sight
This 16″ 5.56 NATO complete upper runs a 1:7 twist barrel finished in black, wrapped in a 15″ M-LOK free-float handguard, and ships with a Vortex Sparc AR 2 MOA red dot sight already mounted and zeroed for a true grab-and-go setup. It’s threaded 1/2″x28, uses a carbine-length gas system off a .750″ gas block, and drops onto any mil-spec AR-15 lower. Check out the Flat Dark Earth version if you’d rather run a different finish, or browse more AR-15 5.56/.223 uppers.

What optic comes with this upper?
A Vortex Sparc AR 2 MOA red dot sight, mounted and ready to zero out of the box.
Does this upper include a BCG or charging handle?
No — the BCG and charging handle are sold separately as an add-on, but the Vortex optic is included.
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?
1:7, which stabilizes heavier 5.56/.223 bullets well if you run 62-77 grain projectiles.
Is this upper fully assembled?
Yes, the upper and optic are fully assembled — only the BCG and charging handle need to be added to complete it.
Is there a different color option?
Yes, see the linked Flat Dark Earth version above if you’d rather run a different finish.
