It's dangerous to go alone! Take this.
Select your choice of parts from the available options and we'll assemble an upper just for you. Because these uppers are made to order, please allow for up to two weeks before your upper ships.

Uppers purchased with muzzle devices will be permanently attached to meet or exceed 16" overall barrel length.

Uppers purchased with no muzzle device are subject to all NFA Rules and Regulations, as well as all Federal, State, and Local Rules and Regulations.

Barrel

We chose to design our own 13.9" barrel utilizing the Noveske style Intermediate gas system length in order to create a barrel with the shortest possible dwell time while maintaining unsuppressed reliability. The short dwell time of this 13.9" Intermediate barrel has some very distinct benefits over running a midlength gas system and can be run suppressed or unsuppressed reliably. Particularly when shooting suppressed, the short dwell time helps reduce the amount of gas blowback making for a more pleasant suppressed shooting experience.

All barrels will be dimpled and have their feed ramps polished. Feed ramps will also be contoured to match the upper receiver if necessary.

Handguard

Our very own eXcise Optimized Handguard is packed with practical features while keeping overall weight reasonable. Perhaps most notable, yet oftentimes overlooked by other companies, is the nitrided steel reinforced QD sling sockets.

Upper Receiver

Your choice of black anodized Aero Precision upper receivers. Options include the standard Mil-Spec style upper, No Forward Assist "Slick Side" upper, M4E1 Threaded upper, and M4E1 No Forward Assist upper. You also have the choice to have the upper receiver squared or not.

Gas Tube

Noveske Style Intermediate gas tube in 304 stainless steel.

Gas Block

Your choice between a standard low profile gas block and the Superlative Arms adjustable gas block. If shooting suppressed, we recommend the Superlative Arms AGB.

  • If shooting unsuppressed only, the standard low profile gas block is the perfect option.
  • If shooting suppressed only, the Superlative Arms AGB can be tuned to your suppressor and then left alone for a more optimized shooting experience.
  • If shooting both suppressed and unsuppressed, the Superlative Arms AGB can be adjusted between your suppressed and unsuppressed shooting to maximize both shooting conditions.
  • Our URG will function in both the suppressed and unsuppressed conditions with the standard low profile gas block should you not want the added cost or complexity of the Superlative Arms AGB.
    • Using recoil heavier springs and/or buffer weights can be used to help tune your URG in lieu of an AGB.

  • If shooting steel cased/underpowered ammo unsuppressed, consider using a lighter buffer such as a Carbine or H1.
  • If shooting suppressed with any ammo, consider using an H2 or heavier buffer.

Muzzle Device

Your choice of the Dead Air Keymo Flash Hider or Muzzle Brake, Surefire Flash Hider or Muzzle Brake, or no muzzle device. The Dead Air and Surefire muzzle devices are suppressor mounts for their respective attachment systems. Dead Air and Surefire muzzle devices will be permanently attached to reach an overall barrel length that meets or exceeds 16"

For dedicated suppressed use, we personally recommend using any of the muzzle brake options to help protect the blast baffle in your suppressor.

Uppers purchased with no muzzle device are subject to all NFA Rules and Regulations, as well as all Federal, State, and Local Rules and Regulations.

    Well built upper, incredible suppressor host

    Posted by Dylan on Dec 21st 2023

    I recently hit ~1500 round mark through this upper and I'm exceptionally pleased with it. With the SupArms AGB, Surefire 556 Mini2, and JP SCS-H2, it is the smoothest shooting semiauto I own, by far. The attention to detail paid to ensuring a leak-free gas system is remarkable, this is not just a bunch of AR parts LEGO'd together. I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a dedicated-suppressed upper receiver group, the build quality and short dwell time make tuning the weapon system a dream.
