Product Description
The LUTH-AR stripped slick side A1 upper receiver is built from 7075-T6 aluminum forgings and machined to final dimensions for a precise, mil-spec fit with current production AR-15 components. Designed with early-style carry handle contours and an A1-pattern rear sight housing, this period-accurate upper eliminates the shell deflector and forward assist for a classic “slick side” profile. Finished in black hardcoat anodizing for durability.
Charging handle, dust cover, and rear sight components are sold separately.
Note: This period-correct design does not include M4-type feed ramps.
