Refine your AR platform with the BattleHawk Armory 16" 5.56mm Complete Upper - a lightweight, precision-minded assembly built for shooters who want a fast-handling rifle without sacrificing accuracy. At the heart of this upper is a 16" pencil-profile barrel that trims weight forward, reduces swing, and gives the rifle a quick, pointable feel while still delivering the ballistic performance 5.56 shooters expect at common engagement ranges. The slim 15" free-float M-LOK handguard provides clean ergonomics and abundant mounting real estate for lights, lasers, offset irons, and backup optics while keeping the profile snag-free. Finished in a tactical black, the anodized upper receiver includes a forward assist and dust cover for duty-grade reliability. BattleHawk Armory assembles this variant with a matched Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) and charging handle (CH) installed and function-tested - drop it on a mil-spec lower and you're immediately ready to zero and shoot. Designed for carbine-length shooters, practical precision competitors, and anyone who wants an agile, mission-capable AR-15, this complete upper balances weight, control, and accuracy in a clean, turnkey package. Available now at BattleHawk Armory - precision engineering, ready when you are.
