Simple. Clean. Affordable.
Our Slick-Side upper omits the traditional forward assist, shell deflector and dust cover for a clean and simple addition to any AR-15 build. Our Slick-Side upper is precisely machined from premium, billet 6061 aluminum to ensure the tightest tolerances, in many cases, exceeding mil-spec requirements. Compatible with both forged and billet lower receivers as well as most types of fore-ends and quad rails.
Weight 6.0oz
Please note - while many of our customers enjoy the look and simplicity of the "as machined" aluminum, this finish is intended to be completed by the end user; therefore, machining marks may be visible. Applying a wear resistant coating (Cerakote or similar) to as-machined uppers prior to use achieves final fitment and provides a barrier to resist rapid wear that will otherwise occur.
Compliance with all federal and local laws is YOUR responsibility.

Billet Upper
Wanted a billet raw upper for a build. This gem came in Flawless! Hit with some medium polishing media and than a high speed buffer. Shines like a new quarter. Fit up on the lower is close to perfect as I can see with them not bing matched sets. I did remove some material to lighten it up some more. The peep hole on top is what sold me along with he ability to get it raw. This is going to be my upper for my future shop builds. Thanks for the great product

I can see myself!
I love how simple it is, and also the cuts and contours are sexy. It comes with the CNC machining marks, but after some mothers aluminum polish and a microfiber towel, it has a mirror finish.

Billet Receiver Set
Excellent product! Nice design, not too busy and no silly gimmicks. The only constructive criticism I have to say is that I would like to see a tiny bit more attention given to deburring. Quite a few small burrs left in a few places that got coated over and a couple odd pieces of material left near some of the clearance toolpaths made with a chamfer possibly? But I still love the product! Just being totally honest and I run and program CNC every day so I take a close look at any machined part I buy. Great price too!

Beautiful upper.
The machining on this product was next to perfect other than a few spots under the rail that looked like a little bit of material tear out. Once the upper was cerakoted the spots seemed to disappear. I would definitely recommend this product.
