The AR-15 5.56/.223 18" Stainless Steel Diamond Fluted Upper Assembly is designed for marksmen who demand precision, durability, and style in a complete upper. Featuring an 18" 416R stainless steel HBAR barrel, this upper is chambered in .223 Wylde, giving you optimal performance with both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington.
The diamond fluted barrel increases surface area for faster cooling while reducing weight, and is button-rifled with a 1:8 right-hand twist for excellent stabilization across a wide range of bullet weights.
Topped with a 15" slim M-LOK handguard, you’ll have ample space for attachments while maintaining a lightweight build. This upper also includes a stainless steel X-treme muzzle brake with 1/2x28 threads and a crush washer for reduced recoil and superior control.
