Our new lightweight AR15 upper receivers are now available and will be featured on all new builds.
55g lighter that the previous version they still retain longitudinal strength that makes them much more rigid than thin walled, slotted forged versions.
Certified 7075-T6 alluminium as usual and finished to milspec Type3 Class2 black anodise.

An American remarked to me the other day about straight pull / side charging ARs:

"Man, that's like having a clockwork Aston Martin DB9!"

How we laughed... :roll:
