10.5" 5.56 Upper: Specs & Features
The Moriarti 10.5" Nitro-Met Quad AR-15 Upper Assembly features a 5.56 NATO barrel, traditional 10" free-float quad-rail handguard, and a Gen 2 Micro SOCOM-style barrel shroud available in seven anodized colors.
The assembly combines a 10.5" 4150 chrome moly steel barrel with Nitro-Met treatment, a 1:7 twist rate, and a carbine-length gas system. Its forged 7075-T6 aluminum A3 flat-top receiver features a black hardcoat-anodized finish, installed forward assist, dust cover, and M4 feed ramps.
The Gen 2 Micro SOCOM-style accessory features a T6 aluminum body and steel threaded adapter. It functions as a barrel shroud rather than a sound suppressor or muzzle brake.

FAQ
Will this upper fit my AR-15 lower?
Yes. It fits any standard mil-spec AR-15 lower receiver and uses a standard 5.56 bolt carrier group and STANAG/AR-15 magazines.
Can I shoot both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington?
Yes. A 5.56 NATO or .223 Wylde chamber safely fires both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition.
Is a bolt carrier group included?
Yes. This upper ships with a bolt carrier group, so it is ready to install on a compatible AR-15 lower.

A 1:7 twist, the mil-spec rate that stabilizes 55 gr through heavy 77 gr loads.
