FAQs: How Do I Know Which Complete Uppers Are for AR-15?

  2. Can I Use a Complete Upper with Any Lower?
    • Yes, provided they follow the exact specifications, such as caliber and buffer system compatibility.
  3. How Do I Choose the Right Barrel Length?
    • Consider your intended use—shorter barrels for maneuverability and longer for accuracy.
  4. Are Blemished Uppers Reliable?
