  • The handguard is M-LOK, so accessory mounting is straightforward, but it still requires compatible M-LOK attachments.
  • This assembled upper is offered in model-dependent configurations, so the included receiver finish and barrel setup should be verified before purchase.
  • As an assembled upper, it is intended to be paired with a compatible lower receiver rather than used as a complete firearm.
