Product description
AT3™ Assembled Forged Upper for AR-15 – 16″ 5.56 NATO Barrel with 12.5″ Free Float Quad Rail
Built to Order – Ships Within 3 Business Days
This assembled upper delivers a full-length, reliable platform for AR-15 builds with the proven reliability of quad rail accessory mounting. This is the foundation for shooters building a versatile home defense rifle, duty gun, or all-purpose range blaster where you need the full velocity and reliability of 5.56 NATO. The 12.5-inch Pro Quad Rail gives you four sides of Picatinny rail for rock-solid mounting of lights, lasers, foregrips, and any other accessories you need without worrying about adapter compatibility—with extra real estate for multiple accessories or longer bipod placement.
The 16-inch government profile barrel in 5.56 NATO pairs with a mid-length gas system for smooth, reliable cycling and reduced recoil compared to carbine-length systems. The 12.5-inch Pro Quad Rail provides secure accessory mounting on all four sides. The quad rail is lightened down all four sides for weight reduction while remaining solid enough to handle heavy use. Five integrated QD sockets give you multiple sling mounting options for any configuration.
Built on AT3’s forged upper receiver with forward assist and dust cover installed, this setup pairs a low-profile .750 steel gas block and stainless gas tube for reliable function. The Mil-Spec A2 flash hider effectively reduces muzzle flash and gives the muzzle a clean, finished look.
Note: Does not include bolt carrier group or charging handle. The upper is shipped fully assembled.
