Mil-Spec (4150) M4 Barrel with QPQ Nitride and Custom, Ultra-Light 13.5" Handguard.

This ultralight AR-15 barreled upper receiver ships ready to provide MOA accuracy with a hardened mil-spec barrel and the industry’s most protective and accurizing finish, QPQ Nitride. Providing plenty of rail estate in a lightweight configuration is our new, custom-made aluminum 13.5" M-Lok handguard. This upper comes complete with a quality chrome-lined M16/Full-Auto BCG and charging handle resting inside a mil-spec forged M4 flattop upper.

What’s Included

This kit is not a firearm. It includes an assembled upper receiver, lower parts kit, and buffer assembly with buttstock. This kit does not include a stripped lower receiver (the firearm component). The bolt carrier group is optional. Pair this rifle kit with an AR-15 80% lower receiver and AR-15 jig to fabricate a receiver, sold separately.

Here's the beginner's guide to 80% lowers.

Receiver sold separately

No FFL or serialization is required to fabricate a receiver under federal law. However, state laws vary. Some states require serialization or have banned 80% lowers and gun-making kits. We encourage each and every builder to perform their own research about the state and federal laws that apply to them.
