Overview
Built for a custom AR-15/M16-style build, this stripped upper receiver gives serious shooters a solid starting point for assembling a rifle around their preferred components. It is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished with a Type 3 hardcoat anodizing, with M4 feed ramps and .250" pivot and takedown pin holes. Compatible with mil-spec AR lowers and standard components, it suits builders who want a straightforward upper for a practical, parts-driven setup. The stripped format keeps the focus on configuration flexibility, rather than adding features you may not need.
