Faxon Firearms Enhanced Forged AR-15 Upper Receiver – Stripped – UR-FAX-F-A-S
The Faxon Firearms Enhanced Forged Upper Receiver (816341022010) is a 2026-spec foundation designed for shooters who want the classic reliability of a forging with the aesthetic and functional refinements of a boutique billet receiver. Starting as a 7075-T6 aluminum forging—the gold standard for strength and grain structure—Faxon then subjects each unit to secondary CNC machining to create an "Enhanced" profile. This process cleans up the exterior lines for a sleeker look and tightens internal tolerances to ensure a rock-solid lockup with any Mil-Spec lower receiver. Finished in a rich, Type III Class 2 Hardcoat Anodization, this receiver is built to resist the abrasions and chemical exposure typical of high-volume tactical use.
The UR-FAX-F-A-S is a stripped unit, allowing the builder total control over their selection of forward assist and dust cover hardware. It features a true M4 feed ramp extension for reliable cycling and is fully compatible with all standard AR-15 handguards and barrel nuts. Unlike standard "milspec" uppers that may have inconsistent rail heights or loose barrel extensions, Faxon’s precision machining ensures that your 1913 Picatinny top rail is perfectly indexed for optics and laser aiming devices. Whether you are building a lightweight 2026-spec "recce" rifle or a duty-ready carbine, this enhanced forged receiver provides the durability of a battle-axe with the precision of a scalpel.
Includes: (1) Faxon Enhanced Forged Stripped Upper Receiver (Black Anodized).
