Description
This handguard is made with 6061 aluminum extrusion that we CNC to the meet our strict standards with top quality tooling. The top rail is Mil-spec, as are the M-LOK slots. This is a total length of 10” that leaves about half an inch of barrel (including the threads). We now use steel barrel nuts that can take greater torque specs while not adding too much weight. We pride ourselves on quality and safety, so our 10” handguards allow you to properly grip your rifle (or pistol) while still leaving lots of room to mount an angle grip, flashlight, laser, and a variety of accessories.Our 5.56 (also shoots .223) 10.5” Pistol nitride barrels are 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium (ChMV). Chrome, molybdenum, and vanadium are impurities added to the barrels that react positively with the nitriding process with less imperfections and a smoother finish. By not lining our barrels with Chrome, we can keep our smooth bore intact as we do the Nitriding process. The result is a more accurate barrel. Our pistol barrels are more accurate than you would think, shooting very accurately at 100 yards!Our billet upper is made locally in Phoenix, in our facility. We start off from a solid block of 6061 aluminum and CNC it down to spec. Billet is much harder and more consistent than forged. Forged has a tendency to crack and loosen through wear and tear over time, while billet will last 5x longer than a forged upper. We now include all of our uppers with super durable billet. We Type 3 hard coat anodize our aluminum to make it almost has hard as steel.Our Barrel nuts are cut from bar stock carpenter 4140 steel and milled out, giving you a better than mil-spec hold for your barrel extension. We torque our barrel nuts 40-80 lbs onto our uppers, giving no chance of loosening while you shoot.

Having had the chance to thoroughly inspect and test the AR-15 10.5 Inch Upper Assembly with 10 Inch M-LOK and MCBS GEN2, it’s clear this is a well-crafted component designed with both functionality and durability in mind. The machining on this upper is precise, with tight tolerances that suggest a high level of quality control. The finish feels robust, and there’s no visible signs of casting or imperfections — it looks like a piece built to withstand serious use.
The 10.5-inch barrel strikes a nice balance for those seeking versatility — compact enough for easy maneuverability yet offering enough length for reliable accuracy. The M-LOK rail system is a standout feature; it’s smooth to install accessories onto and provides a secure mount, which is crucial during intense shooting sessions. The design is clean, with minimal weight increase while maintaining strength and rigidity.
One aspect that immediately impressed me was the inclusion of the MCBS GEN2 (Magnetic Carrier Buffer System), which effectively reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise. During rapid fire, I noticed improved control, making it easier to stay on target. This component clearly adds value, especially for shooters looking to enhance their shooting experience without sacrificing reliability.
The assembly fit seamlessly onto my lower receiver, confirming the compatibility and proper tolerances advertised. It’s ready to go right out of the box, with no adjustments needed. The attention to detail in the construction suggests it’s a worthwhile upgrade for both competitive shooters and serious hobbyists.
In terms of value, considering the quality of materials, the added features, and the performance in the field, this upper assembly offers excellent bang for your buck. It’s a smart choice for those looking to upgrade or customize their AR-15 platform with a high-quality, reliable component.
Overall, this upper assembly is an impressive piece that combines craftsmanship, innovative features, and practicality. Whether building a new rifle or upgrading an existing one, it’s a component that performs as expected and then some. If durability and precision are your top priorities, this product is definitely worth considering.
