Build your next custom AR-15 with an original Colt factory upper fully finished and ready for installation. Made from a high-quality aluminum alloy forging machined to precise tolerances for correct fit on Colt lowers and clones. Hardcoat anodized for added surface strength, abrasion resistance, and corrosion protection, with a uniform, matte black finish that matches other factory components and easily accepts alternate finishes.
