ALWAYS ARMED 5" 5.56 NATO STAINLESS STEEL GEN 1 IHS UPPER RECEIVER

Build the ultimate ultra-compact AR-15 pistol with the Always Armed 5" 5.56 Stainless Steel Gen 1 IHS Upper Receiver. Engineered for maximum concealability, extreme maneuverability, and reliable performance in tight spaces, this complete upper receiver assembly is a premier choice for short-barreled rifle (SBR) and truck gun builds.

At its core, this upper features a 5-inch 416R stainless steel barrel precision-chambered in 5.56 NATO. The fast 1:5 twist rate provides superior bullet stabilization for short-barrel ballistic efficiency, while the micro-length gas system ensures reliable cycling. The muzzle comes equipped with a classic A2 flash hider on a standard 1/2x28 thread pitch, making silencer and muzzle device upgrades quick and easy.

Forged from ultra-durable 7075-T6 aluminum, the Mil-Spec upper receiver seamlessly mounts to any standard AR-15 lower receiver. Encasing the barrel is the 4.25" Gen 1 IHS (Integral Hand Stop) handguard, designed with an integrated hand stop to keep your support hand safe on compact handguards. With M-LOK mounting slots on three sides and a full-length MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny top rail, you have ample space for tactical lights, lasers, and optics.
