What Are AR-15 Upper Parts?
AR-15 upper parts include all the components that make up the upper receiver assembly of an AR-15 rifle. These parts work together to support the barrel, manage the gas system, chamber rounds, extract spent casings, and cycle the action reliably. Properly matched upper components are essential for smooth operation and consistent accuracy.
This category covers both individual components and complete AR-15 upper parts kits, allowing builders to choose the level of customization or convenience that best fits their project. Whether you’re assembling a duty rifle, competition build, hunting setup, or range firearm, having the correct upper parts is non-negotiable.
