Magpul AR 15 upper parts with blackrifledepot.com? The Colt AR 15 very soon found its way into military use in the early 1960’s, offering shooters in the United States Air Force and Special Forces a select-fire option. When the United States got into involvement with Vietnam in 1963, it soon became clear that Springfield Armory was not going to be able to keep up with the production of the standard M14 battle rifles. This was the perfect opportunity for the AR 15 platform. Many people proposed expanding the production of the M14 to some other companies, but the idea was eventually scrapped because of the high cost of the M14 to manufacture. It was a great rifle, but it cost a lot to make, its cartridge required more resources, and it was largely considered overkill for fights of 300 yards or less.
The name M-LOK stands for modular lock, and was created by Magpul, a large name in the industry. This innovative new way to mount accessories, unlike keymod, isn’t an open source system. While any company or manufacturer is free to license it if they ask permission, but the M-LOK system must be made with the same quality as the original design. This means you are practically guaranteed that any M-LOK mounting or accessory attachments are all going to be very well made and uniform. Instead of the keyhole shaped holes that keymod uses, M-LOK uses narrow slits and T-shaped nuts that lock into place once they are installed. This system has many advantages, including the fact that accessories can be mounted either towards the front or rear of the slit you are using, giving you the ability to put it in just the right spot. This system also works well with polymer handguards.
Extreme long-range shooters and competition enthusiasts will usually opt for non-chrome lined, stainless steel barrels. These are much more accurate at longer ranges, but they do wear out a little faster and are harder to clean. So, which one should you choose? It depends on what you plan to use your AR 15 for. For most people that plan on using their AR 15 as a tool, whether that be plinking or home defense, then a carbon steel barrel, preferably chrome lined, would be the best choice. These barrels will withstand plenty of use and abuse and are much easier to care for. If you plan on using your AR 15 for precision shooting or competitions, a stainless steel barrel may be the better option for you and your needs. These will be much more accurate. Either way, both types of barrels are great and can be used for whatever you want, but just remember each have their own set of pros and cons!

Depending on the laws in your state and your willingness to do extra paperwork, a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) can make for a very handy package. Obviously, NFA rules do apply. You’ll most certainly need to research that. That said, instead of an SBR, many builders today are opting to build AR pistols. If you have decided to go that AR pistol route, then Black Rifle Depot offers a few different short 5.56 AR 15 upper assemblies that are both affordable and reliable. Our shortest option is a 7.5″ 5.56 NATO Pistol Upper Assembly that features a 4150CMV steel barrel, a 7″ M-LOK handguard an A2 flash hider, 7075-T6 Forged Upper Receiver, a forward assist and dust cover, and our lifetime warranty from Black Rifle Depot.
For most handguards, the two most commonly used materials are polymer and aluminum. Both of these materials are very durable, and aluminum will usually going to be the stronger of the two. Aluminum can, however, emit a little more heat during an extended shooting session than a polymer handguard. Aluminum is much more resistant to heat, although it will heat up itself and can be hot under extreme conditions. If you do a lot of high volume shooting, aluminum is a great option for you. Polymer handguards will usually have a heat shield constructed of either steel or aluminum that will separate the actual polymer from the barrel. This helps dissipate the heat generated from the barrel, and there are also polymer handguards that will have a steel or aluminum framework to lighten them up and provide structural durability. Polymer does, however, have a lower melting point than aluminum. While it is super rare, under continuous and extreme firing, the heat from your barrel could warp or even melt the polymer handguard. Polymer does, however, provide a little more impact resistance than aluminum.
