Faxon Forged AR-15 Upper Receiver w/ Completion Kit | Black
The Faxon Forged AR-15 Upper Receiver with Completion Kit gives builders a durable, mil-spec-pattern foundation while including the small parts needed to finish the receiver assembly. Forged from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished in Black Type III Hardcoat Anodizing, this upper is designed for standard AR-15 components and ships with the forward assist and ejection port cover hardware included.
This receiver is built around a traditional forged AR-15 architecture, making it a versatile option for new rifle builds, replacement uppers, caliber-specific assemblies, and custom projects. The 7075-T6 forging provides the strength and dimensional consistency expected from a quality AR upper receiver while maintaining broad compatibility with standard barrels, handguards, bolt carrier groups, and charging handles.
The included completion kit removes the need to source the upper receiver small parts separately. Faxon includes the forward assist assembly along with the ejection port cover components, allowing the receiver to be completed before moving on to the barrel, handguard, gas system, and operating components.
Finished in Black Type III Hardcoat Anodizing, the receiver provides a durable surface treatment that resists routine wear and corrosion while matching naturally with most AR-15 handguards, lower receivers, and accessories.
