Precision starts at the top of the rifle. For builders and operators who demand consistent fit, rugged materials, and broad compatibility, the right upper receiver defines how your AR platform will perform under service, hunting, or range conditions.

Key features and materials

The SHARPS BROS MFG BILLET UPPER RECEIVER is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum — the same high-strength alloy used in Sharps Rifle Company lower receivers — and finished in anodized black for corrosion resistance and low signature. It ships with a forward assist kit and dust cover already installed, reducing build time and ensuring immediate functionality out of the box.

Mil‑spec front end and modular compatibility

Designed with a mil-spec front end, this billet upper accepts any AR15 barrel nut and is compatible with any AR15 handguard, including styles with rear-facing tabs. That makes it an ideal choice for builders who plan to use free‑float rails, low-profile gas blocks, or wraparound accessories without worrying about fitment headaches.

Caliber support and practical applications

Compatible calibers include .223, 5.56, .224 Valkyrie, 300 BLK, and 6.5 Grendel — a versatile spread that covers lightweight varmint setups (.223/5.56), extended-range hunters (.224 Valkyrie and 6.5 Grendel), and suppressed or short-barrel builds (300 BLK). Note the port opening is intentionally not large enough for larger big‑bore rounds such as 450 Bushmaster, 458 SOCOM, or 50 Beowulf, so plan caliber selection accordingly.

At a street price of $179.99, this upper balances billet construction and factory convenience with an accessible cost for serious builders. It pairs naturally with Sharps Rifle Company lowers for seamless aesthetic and mechanical integration.

Fitment tips for builders

Verify upper/lower alignment during assembly, confirm headspacing with the chosen barrel, and choose a gas system length that matches your intended barrel profile and role. The factory-installed forward assist and dust cover save assembly steps but still inspect function during the build process.
