So you're half-way done with building your own AR-15. In building the lower assembly, we can tell you the hardest part is over. Because if you can turn a screwdriver, allen wrench, or socket wrench to install backup sights or optics, we'll take care of building your upper assembly. See? You already did the hard part.
This prebuilt upper assembly arrives with a 16-inch parkerized barrel, chambered in 5.56mm NATO, and made of 4150 chrome moly vanadium steel. It's been paired with a 15-inch free-floating MLOK handguard. It also comes with the charging handle and BCG. All you need to do is install the sights or optic of your choice and then mount it onto your completed lower assembly. You can rest easy with the top half of your build now. You've done a hell of a job. We'll take it from here.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not a firearm. This is only a prebuilt upper assembly. It includes an assembled upper receiver, bolt carrier group, and charging handle.
