Product description
AT3™ Assembled Forged Upper for AR-15 – 16″ 5.56 NATO Barrel with 9″ Free Float Quad Rail – Rosco Bloodline Barrel
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 and the properly-gassed performance of a Rosco Bloodline barrel. This is the foundation for shooters building a versatile home defense rifle, duty gun, suppressor host, or all-purpose range blaster where you need the full velocity and reliability of 5.56 NATO without the violent over-gassing of standard M4 barrels. The 9-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.
The 16-inch Rosco Bloodline barrel solves the over-gassed carbine problem with properly engineered gas port sizing that prevents excessive bolt speed and premature wear. Built from 4150 CMV steel with nitride finish, this barrel delivers reliable function without the violent cycling of standard M4 profiles—reducing premature wear from excessive gas while working exceptionally well with suppressors. The 1:7 twist rate stabilizes heavy projectiles, and the carbine-length gas system provides reliable cycling. The 9-inch Pro Quad Rail provides secure accessory mounting on all four sides, is lightened down all four sides for weight reduction while remaining solid enough to handle heavy use, and features five integrated QD sockets for multiple sling mounting options.
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. Engineered with military and consumer input for balanced performance.
Note: Does not include bolt carrier group or charging handle. The upper is shipped fully assembled.
