Faxon Forged AR-15 Stripped Upper Receiver

Faxon Forged AR-15 Upper Receiver – Stripped | Black

The Faxon Forged AR-15 Upper Receiver provides a durable foundation for builders who want a traditional forged receiver without paying for small parts they may already have on hand. Forged from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished in Black Type III Hardcoat Anodizing, this stripped receiver is designed around standard AR-15 component dimensions for broad compatibility across custom rifle and pistol builds.

This is the receiver-only version of Faxon’s OEM forged upper. It does not include a forward assist assembly or ejection port cover assembly, making it a strong choice for builders who prefer to select those components separately or already have an upper completion kit available.

The forged 7075-T6 construction provides the strength, rigidity, and dimensional consistency expected from a duty-grade AR-15 upper, while the Type III Hardcoat Anodized finish adds wear and corrosion resistance. T-marked rail positions help with repeatable optic and accessory placement during setup or maintenance.

Because the receiver follows standard AR-15 architecture, it works with commonly available barrels, handguards, bolt carrier groups, charging handles, forward assist assemblies, and ejection port cover kits. This makes it a versatile starting point for lightweight carbines, general-purpose rifles, dedicated caliber builds, and other custom AR-15 upper assemblies.

7075-T6 Forged Construction

Faxon uses forged 7075-T6 aluminum for this receiver, providing a strong and lightweight foundation for an AR-15 upper assembly. The Black Type III Hardcoat Anodized finish helps protect the aluminum from routine wear while providing a traditional appearance that pairs naturally with most AR-15 components.
