TacFire’s AR-15 Stripped Upper Receiver for 5.56x45mm NATO (brand part no. UP01C) is constructed from 7075-T6 aluminum with a black hardcoat anodized finish and M4 feed ramps to ensure proper cycling with modern ammunition. It comes with both the dust cover and forward assist installed, saving a builder a step over a bare slick-side receiver. Because it ships stripped and optic-ready with no sights, a builder still needs to add a charging handle, barrel, handguard, gas block, muzzle device, gas tube, and bolt carrier group to complete the upper. It is a solid, mil-spec foundation for a from-scratch AR15 build.
