22rb 22lr 9.25'' Upper W/handguard, Bolt Saver & 10rd Mag

The Nordic Components 22rb 22lr 9.25'' upper with handguard, bolt saver, and 10-round magazine is purpose-built for shooters seeking a reliable, cost-effective training and small-game hunting platform. This complete upper assembly transforms a standard AR-15 lower receiver into a precision .22 LR shooter, delivering the ergonomic familiarity of the AR platform without the recoil, noise, and ammunition expense associated with centerfire calibers.

Nordic Components engineered this upper assembly with the bolt saver mechanism, a critical feature that prevents bolt carrier damage during dry-fire or rimfire cycling—a common failure point in improvised conversions. The 9.25-inch barrel length balances portability and velocity retention, producing consistent point-of-aim accuracy at typical training distances (25–100 yards) while keeping the overall profile compact for confined shooting ranges or close-quarters scenario training.

The integrated handguard provides positive control and thermal protection, while the 10-round magazine ensures compliance with state regulations and offers practical capacity for precision drills. At a verified weight of 3.95 lbs, the upper assembly remains lightweight, reducing shooter fatigue during extended practice sessions and maintaining the AR-15's inherent balance and handling.
