ALWAYS ARMED OCTO SERIES 16" 5.56 NATO UPPER RECEIVER - TEQUILA SUNRISE

Make a bold statement at the range while maintaining duty-grade performance with the Always Armed OCTO Series 16" 5.56 NATO Upper Receiver in Tequila Sunrise. Combining a eye-catching custom colorway with precision engineering, this complete upper receiver assembly is designed to give your custom AR-15 build maximum reliability, modular capability, and head-turning aesthetics.

Machined in the USA from forged Mil-Spec 7075-T6 aluminum, the upper receiver comes fully assembled with a factory-installed ejection port dust cover and forward assist mechanism. At its core is a 16-inch 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel barrel treated with a corrosion-resistant Black Nitride finish. Featuring a fast 1:7 twist rate and chambered in 5.56 NATO (compatible with .223 Remington), it effectively stabilizes medium to heavy grain projectiles for consistent downrange accuracy.

Encasing the barrel and .750 low-profile gas block is the lightweight 15-inch OCTO Series free-floating M-LOK handguard. Its octagonal profile provides an ergonomic, high-traction grip along with extensive M-LOK mounting slots for your favorite optics, lights, and foregrips. Both the receiver and handguard are coated in a custom Tequila Sunrise Cerakote finish for unmatched chemical, abrasion, and heat resistance. Capped with a standard 1/2x28 threaded A2 flash hider, this upper drops directly onto any standard Mil-Spec AR-15 lower receiver. (Note: Bolt Carrier Group and Charging Handle are not included).
