Frequently Asked Questions

What does ‘BLEM’ mean on this upper receiver? BLEM indicates a blemished/cosmetic-seconds unit — Battle Arms Development sells these at a discount for minor cosmetic finish imperfections, not functional defects.

Does this include a barrel or bolt carrier group? No, this is a stripped upper receiver only — barrel, BCG, charging handle, and handguard are sold separately.

Is a stripped upper receiver considered a firearm? No. Under federal law, the lower receiver is the regulated firearm; a stripped upper receiver like this one is an unregulated part and does not require an FFL transfer.
