Bootleg Billet Upper Receiver Features The Bootleg Billet Upper is built to last after the company retooled its manufacturing process following issues with a previous forging house. A MIL-SPEC hard anodized finish gives the black receiver a rugged corrosion-resistant surface capable of standing up to harsh environments and repeated use. At just 7.2 oz the upper is noticeably lighter than many standard forged uppers a deliberate choice aimed at reducing overall rifle weight for faster handling. A low profile brass deflector is machined into the design to direct spent casings away from the shooter during rapid strings of fire. Bootleg eliminated the forward assist entirely on this upper a decision that further trims weight while removing a feature that can snag gear or clothing during dynamic movement. This streamlined design reflects a focus on competition and dynamic shooting use rather than traditional military configuration requirements. The upper is built to fit standard AR-15 components so barrels bolt carrier groups and handguards already on the market will mount without modification. For AR-15 builders who want a lightweight cleanly finished billet upper receiver the Bootleg Billet Upper is available for sale at GrabAGun.
