When you're looking to push your AR-10 platform to the limit, this 6.5 Creedmoor 22" Stainless Steel Heavy Barrel Upper is the heavy hitter you’ve been waiting for. This isn't just another upper assembly; it’s a long-range precision tool designed for the shooter who values American craftsmanship and sub-MOA potential.
At the heart of this beast is a 22-inch 416R Stainless Steel barrel. The heavy profile (HB) doesn't just look the part—it provides the thermal stability and rigidity you need to maintain tight groups during long strings of fire. With a 1:8 twist rate, this barrel is optimized to stabilize the high-BC (Ballistic Coefficient) 6.5 Creedmoor projectiles that have made this caliber a favorite among long-distance marksmen and hunters alike.
Reliability Meets Innovation
The Gen 2 Right Side-Charging (SCH) handle is a game-changer for the AR-10 platform. It allows you to maintain your cheek weld and keep your eyes on the glass while cycling the action, providing a more intuitive, bolt-action-like feel with the speed of a semi-auto. The "Split Rail" 15" M-LOK handguard gives you all the real estate you need for bipods, lights, and lasers without adding unnecessary bulk, while the rifle-length gas system ensures a smooth, reliable stroke that won't beat up your brass or your shoulder.
