The LaRue Tactical Match Grade Complete AR-15 Upper Receiver in black pairs a 16" match-grade barrel with a free-float M-LOK handguard, built for shooters who want accuracy and dependability straight out of the box.
Features:
- 16" match-grade barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO, 1:8 twist
- 1/2x28 threaded muzzle with A2 flash hider installed
- Mid-length gas system, low-profile gas block
- 14.5" free-float M-LOK handguard
- Black anodized finish
- Bolt carrier group and charging handle included
- Compatible with any mil-spec AR-15 lower
The 1:8 twist rate is tuned for a wide range of 5.56 bullet weights, and the low-profile gas block paired with the mid-length system keeps cycling smooth with reduced felt recoil. The M-LOK handguard's high-grade aluminum construction gives you a lightweight, rigid mounting surface for lights, lasers, and grips, and the whole upper mounts to any mil-spec lower receiver for a versatile addition to almost any AR-15 build.
Rated for roughly 10,000 rounds of barrel life, this upper is built to hold up over years of regular range use without a significant drop in accuracy.
LaRue Tactical builds precision rifles and components in Leander, Texas, aiming to deliver match-grade accuracy in a package ready to run straight out of the box.

Deadly Accuracy built for hard real world conditions
by Tx_sandman
I bought one of these when Larue had them directly on his website. It is paired with a Larue lower and MBT-2S trigger. It is a very accurate rifle shooting around .6-7 moa with quality factory ammo and around 1.2-1.5" with nato spec m193
For hunting I use cheap hornady frontier 75 grain otm loads and have killed hundreds of hogs and yotes
Headshots at 300 all day with my longest kill at over 600 yards. Couldnt ask for more accuracy know your dope and you will hit.
Ran in west tx in fine sand environment wet and dry with temps down to 2 degrees with zero malfunctions over 1000s of rounds.
I run a Pulsar thermal. DBAL-D2 and a suppressor so i dont know what the other guy is worried about with weight of the upper alone.

Very accurate
Well built
Heavy AF
M-lok only on 3/6/9 position
13” handguard on a 16” barrel - weird aesthetic
Cost prohibitive!!!!
I bought this upper from Larue website, at the time they were only about $800 and have since gone up in price. It is very accurate, but how far are you shooting and what is your acceptable performance. Having bought a 14.5’’ BCM upper, that is much lighter, for the same $800 price point. The BCM is just as accurate within 400 yards and much lighter.
Larue does not advertise if it is a CHF barrel or not, while the BCM does come with CHF barrel.
If you are consistently stretching out your glass and pushing effective range of a 556 while not doing a lot of movement, this is a great option. Congrats you are a 556 sniper.
If you are doing dynamic shooting or carrying your weapon over distance and time, there are other options to consider.
