AT3™ Forged Upper Receiver and SPEAR Handguard Combo

AT3 M-LOK Handguard with Forged AR Upper Combo

Build your rifle the way you want, and save some money by bundling a forged upper with a lightweight M-LOK handguard! This setup is perfect for building out a custom upper, and dropping it onto a milspec lower receiver. With a few simple tools, this AR upper combo kit comes together to make an exceptional package that’s light on cost.

When you buy this kit, you get a stripped forged upper receiver, a lightweight M-LOK handguard, plus an upper receiver parts kit for finishing the dust cover and forward assist. We also offer this kit in a variety of Cerakote colors, so you can really make your rifle your own, with the option to color match on Magpul FDE and OD Green shades.

With 9″, 12”, and 15” lengths rail lengths available, this combo is ideal for starting your next AR upper build. And with our selection of barrels, gas blocks, muzzle devices, bolt carrier groups, and charging handles, you can get the custom upper you need at the right price.

What tools and additional parts are required?

For parts – most setups will require a low profile gas block to sit under the handguard – most barrels will work with the handguard.

For tools – we recommend:

• A vise and non-marring vise block for holding the upper
• Roll pin punch and non-marring hammer for driving in the forward assist pin
• A torque wrench and breaker bar to assure you stay in the AR-15 barrel nut torque range while timing the barrel nut (30-60 ft lbs)
• Blue Loctite for the mounting screws
