Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a complete upper receiver or just a stripped receiver?

This is a complete upper receiver. It arrives fully assembled and ready to install on any AR-15 lower receiver—barrel, bolt carrier group, charging handle, muzzle device, rail, and gas block are all included.

What caliber is the Super Duty Mod1 11.5" upper?

This upper is chambered in 5.56x45 NATO and features a 1-7 twist barrel, which stabilizes a wide range of 5.56mm projectile weights.

What's the difference between the Stressproof Bolt and standard mil-spec?

The Geissele Stressproof Bolt is forged (not machined) from Carpenter 158+ steel, a proprietary material developed with Carpenter Steel metallurgists for lower impurities, greater fatigue resistance, and an optimized grain structure. Geissele rates it for 5 times the service life of mil-spec bolts. Every bolt is high-pressure tested, mag-particle inspected, and Nanoweapon coated.

Does the rail system rotate on the upper receiver?

No. The SMR MK16 rail uses a center-aligning tab that interfaces with the upper receiver, eliminating any chance of rail rotation while providing the ergonomic design proven by USASOC operators.
