Nordic 16" .22lr Complete Upper 10rd

The Nordic Components 16" .22LR complete upper receiver transforms your existing AR-pattern lower into a dedicated rimfire platform built for plinking, training, and small-game hunting. This is a genuine AR-conversion upper—not a rimfire knockoff—engineered with the same materials and proportions as centerfire uppers so it cycles, handles, and feels like a real rifle. If you've got a spare lower receiver in your safe and want an affordable, fun way to shoot .22 without burning through centerfire ammo, this Nordic upper delivers.

The 16-inch barrel sports a 1-in-16 twist optimized for .22 Long Rifle ammunition, and comes topped with Nordic's NC-PCC flash suppressor. The slim-profile aluminum handguard keeps things lightweight and ergonomic, while the aluminum upper receiver maintains the familiar AR-15 controls and ergonomics you already know. You get 10-round magazine capacity—practical for both casual shooting and serious trigger time on a budget.

Whether you're training new shooters, zeroing loads, or just stacking rounds downrange without the recoil and blast of centerfire, a dedicated .22 upper makes sense. This is no gimmick: it's a purpose-built upper that respects your lower receiver and delivers real rifle handling in a rimfire package.
