16 Inch Lightweight AT3 Upper with 15 Inch Handguard – Made to Order and Ships in 7 Days

AT3 Complete Upper assemblies are Built for Accuracy and Reliability – Guaranteed.

  • Quality Where it Counts – premium components like Faxon Firearms barrels, and AT3 Tactical’s handguards and uppers. Don’t settle for “bargain uppers” with unknown components.
  • Guaranteed Reliability– Carefully assembled before shipment, and backed by the AT3 Lifetime Warranty
  • Unbeatable Value – Unbeatable quality in the price range. Save money by bundling, and save time by letting us do the assembly!

This fully assembled AR-15 complete upper includes:

16″ Ballistic Advantage Pencil Profile 5.56 NATO Barrel (with AT3 low profile gas block & midlength gas tube)

Ballistic Advantage Middle Pencil Barrel

 

The Ballistic Advantage barrel we use for this assembly has a 1 in 7 twist rate, perfect for stabilizing just about any 5.56 load you can feed it. The lightweight Pencil profile offers far better handling than front-heavy “Government” profile barrels, and the Midlength gas system produces less felt recoil.

AT3 SPEAR Free Float M-LOK handguard

AT3 Tactical Spear M-LOK Handguard 15 Inch

Lightweight and tough, this unique M-LOK handguard is the best rail we offer. This rock-solid 6061 aircraft aluminum handguard that withstands the harshest treatment. 5-slot M-LOK-to-Picatinny rail section included

AT3 Tactical Slick Side 6061 T-6 Upper Receiver

Precision machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, this assembled upper is sleek, with extra material around the barrel extension for superior accuracy. It mates perfectly with our SPEAR handguard and feature M4 feedramps for reliable feeding of ammunition.

3 reasons why AT3 Complete Uppers are better than the rest.

1 – Quality Where it Counts

The single most important component of an accurate AR-15 is the barrel. This upper is assembled with a lightweight Ballistic Advantage barrel for excellent performance and handling.

But the quality doesn’t stop at the barrel. Our AT3 handguard and upper work together to provide superior accuracy, meaning this upper assembly offers quality without compromises.

Many of the “bargain” complete uppers on the market source their parts from the lowest bidder – at the expense of accuracy and reliable function. AT3 is committed to using only top-quality components in our upper assemblies.

2 – Guaranteed Reliability

AT3 complete uppers are assembled with strict quality controls and carefully packaged for delivery to the customer. All AT3 complete uppers offer a Lifetime Warranty – if you ever have an issue, let us know, and we’ll make it right. It’s that simple.

3 – Unbeatable Value

When you buy a complete upper, you’ll save money and parts and assembly vs purchasing the components separately. Our complete uppers are not the cheapest on the market, but they deliver unbeatable quality in the price range. We sell direct to the customer, and cut out the middle-men, to deliver the best value in AR-15 upper assemblies.

Perfect but bad packaging

This is the first AR that I have built and I had a really fun time doing it. The upper came in as 3 days after I ordered it, and everything looked perfect. However, I was surprised that it came in with nothing scratched or missing because it was not packed in the box in the best manner (especially because freight companies could care less these days), but I am very happy with it!! Thank You AT3, I will be ordering another one shortly!!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're glad to hear that you had a fun time building your first AR and that everything looked perfect upon arrival. We apologize for any concerns about the packaging, as we understand how important it is to protect your purchase during transit. We'll be sure to pass along your feedback to our packaging team. Thank you for choosing AT3 and we look forward to helping you with your next purchase!

This upper is well done. I completely dismantled it to see that it was done right. Very well done quality control. No bless. Thread locker where appropriate and looks terrific. Range time tomorrow.

First complete upper ever bought and it’s amazing!

I shopped for months and months, trying to find the right combination of quality, durability, aesthetics and price. This is an A+++ in my book. Took it immediately to the range after receiving it. Fired about 150 rounds that day. Nothing to crazy, but I couldn’t curb my excitement! Only issue I had was the bolt not locking back on last round. But I chalked that up due to weak .223 rounds I had in it. I honestly don’t have anything but praise to give to AT3! Thanks for the wonderful products guys. Wouldn’t mind seeing a 6.8 SPC upper in the future though.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! We're glad you're satisfied with your purchase.
