The Wilson Combat forged AR-15 upper receiver (brand part no. TRUPPER) is an M4-style, mil-spec upper machined from a 7075-T6 aluminum forging and finished in black Type 3 hardcoat anodize. It includes the forward assist boss and M4 feed ramps, so it works with standard M4-style barrels and parts. It is a stripped receiver, so you supply the dust cover, charging handle, barrel, handguard, gas block, muzzle device, gas tube and bolt carrier group. Builders choose it for a durable, budget-friendly foundation that does not give up the material and finish of a more expensive upper.

Key Specifications

• The receiver is a 7075-T6 aluminum forging, a strong alloy chosen for durability under hard use.
• The finish is mil-spec Type 3 hardcoat anodize in black, which resists wear, corrosion and scuffs.
• The platform is AR-15, so it works with standard AR-15 parts and lowers.
• Feed ramps are M4 style, which supports reliable feeding with M4-pattern barrels.
• The receiver is machined with a forward assist, which lets you add the forward assist plunger for manual bolt seating.
• The upper is a flat-top mil-spec design, an M4-style layout familiar to builders.
• It is sold as a stripped receiver, so you choose every part that goes into the finished upper.
• Weight is 7 oz, light enough that it adds very little to the build.
• Caliber is universal at the receiver level, since the barrel and bolt determine the cartridge you build in.
• Wilson Combat machines it precisely from the forging, and the receiver is intended to give an easy drop-in fit with mil-spec parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a complete upper? No. It is a stripped receiver. You add a dust cover, forward assist, charging handle, barrel, handguard, gas block, muzzle device, gas tube and bolt carrier group to finish it.

Will I see marks on a forged receiver? Wilson Combat notes that some pitting and machine marks are natural on forged uppers and do not affect function.

What caliber is it? The receiver itself is not caliber specific. The barrel and bolt carrier group you install set the cartridge.
