Charles Daly 500219 AR 410 Upper 410 Gauge 2.5"(Only) 19" Aluminum Barrel w/Black Anodized Finish, Flip Up Front & Rear Sights w/Quad Picatinny Rail, Auto Ejection, Includes 1 5rd Magazine

The Charles Daly 500219 AR 410 Upper delivers specialized shotgun capability for AR platform shooters seeking versatile, close-quarters firepower. Chambered in .410 gauge with a 2.5-inch chamber, this upper receiver converts a standard AR lower into a compact shotgun platform. The 19-inch aluminum barrel with black anodized finish provides durability while keeping overall weight to 6.52 lbs, enabling rapid handling without sacrificing structural integrity.

The upper assembly integrates flip-up front and rear sights for quick target acquisition without requiring battery-powered optics. A quad Picatinny rail on the handguard accepts tactical lights, lasers, or backup aiming systems, expanding operational flexibility. Auto ejection ensures reliable case extraction across varying ammunition types, while the included 5-round magazine supports the typical capacity expectations of .410 shotgun platforms. The 2.5-inch chamber limitation means this upper functions exclusively with 2.5-inch ammunition—a critical specification for shooters sourcing rounds.

This configuration suits operators, sport shooters, and home-defense-focused AR owners who value modularity and want to add shotgun functionality without acquiring a separate firearm. The .410 gauge generates moderate recoil compared to 12-gauge platforms, making it accessible for extended training or lighter-recoiling applications. Mounting on any mil-spec AR-15 lower receiver takes minutes, making the Charles Daly 500219 an effective method to diversify your AR platform's ammunition and tactical role.
