Ar-15 Stripped Upper Receiver, No Forward Assist Black

The AR-15 Stripped Upper Receiver, No Forward Assist in Black by Aero Precision is a precision-engineered foundation component designed for law enforcement, military personnel, and civilian shooters who demand reliability and accuracy. This stripped upper—missing the forward assist—serves builders and operators who prefer minimalist designs or intend to install proprietary charging handle systems.

Machined from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, the Aero Precision upper receiver features precision-cut rails and indexing surfaces that maintain tight tolerances critical for bolt carrier group alignment and carrier tilt prevention. The absence of a forward assist reduces weight and eliminates a potential failure point—a choice favored by operators who prioritize reliability through simplicity or who run non-reciprocating charging handles.

This stripped upper receiver is compatible with all standard AR-15 lower receivers and accepts mil-spec bolt carrier groups, charging handles, and Picatinny-mounted optics and accessories. The black anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and a professional mil-spec appearance while maintaining dimensional accuracy necessary for upper-to-lower receiver fitment and accessory rail compatibility.
