Bring performance and bold design together with the AR-15 5.56/.223 16" Blue Diamond Tactical Upper Assembly, exclusively by Moriarti Armaments. This upper is built around an eye-catching blue nitride-plated fluted stainless steel barrel, precision-machined for shooters who demand both accuracy and a standout appearance.
The 16" HBAR contour barrel is crafted from 416 stainless steel, stress relieved and hardened to 26–32 RC, featuring Moriarti’s exclusive blue diamond fluting for improved cooling and unique styling. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, the barrel also accepts .223 Remington, with a 1:9 twist and 6-groove button rifling for reliable performance. Finished with a triport muzzle brake, it reduces recoil and muzzle rise for improved control.
A mil-spec A3 flat-top upper receiver forged from 7075-T6 aluminum, black hardcoat anodized and Teflon-coated, houses the barrel and ensures durability. Includes M4 feedramps, forward assist, and dust cover pre-installed.
The upper is complemented by a 12" MLOK free-float handguard, CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in black hardcoat anodizing. Rail design may vary slightly due to inventory, but performance remains uncompromised.
