Aegis Lightweight 10.5-Inch Carbine-Gas 1:7 5.56 NATO AR-15 Free-Float M-LOK Handguard Pistol Complete Upper, Stainless Barrel
The Aegis Lightweight Complete Upper is built around a 10.5-inch 5.56 NATO barrel machined from 416R stainless steel in a government profile, with a carbine-length gas system and a polished stainless finish. It is paired with a black free-float M-LOK handguard and ships with a complete bolt carrier group and an aluminum charging handle. The result is a compact, bright-finished upper with the core components of a working upper in one package. The short barrel keeps the front end quick to handle, and the 1:7 twist suits a wide range of bullet weights in 5.56 NATO.

Barrel and Gas System
The 10.5-inch barrel is machined from 416R stainless steel in a government profile and finished in polished stainless. That gives it a bright, corrosion-resistant surface that stands apart from the usual black-finished barrel. Its 1:7 twist rate is suited to a wide range of bullet weights in 5.56 NATO. The barrel is set up for a carbine-length gas system, and 1/2x28 muzzle threads carry the included stainless steel GI-type birdcage flash hider, which matches the barrel's stainless look.
Upper Receiver and Handguard
The upper receiver is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with an anodized finish, giving it a hard, wear-resistant surface that holds up to regular handling. It is paired with a black free-float handguard in an M-LOK design, machined from aircraft-grade aluminum. As a free-float design, it leaves the barrel free of handguard contact, and the M-LOK slots give the builder room to mount lights, grips, and other accessories.
Bolt Carrier Group and Charging Handle
The included complete bolt carrier group features a carrier machined from 9310 alloy steel and finished in Nitride, a surface treatment that adds hardness and corrosion resistance and helps the carrier stand up to repeated cycling. Paired with it is an aluminum charging handle, completing the upper so it is ready to be matched with a compatible lower receiver.
Compatibility
This upper is built for AR-15 lower receivers chambered in 5.56 NATO. Handguard length, gas block and gas tube details, feed ramp style, and ejection port door and forward assist configuration were not supplied with this listing and should be confirmed before purchase.
