What Is an Upper Receiver?

An AR-15 upper receiver is the top half of the rifle that houses the barrel, bolt carrier group, and other critical components. It attaches to the lower receiver to complete the firearm. The upper receiver plays a crucial role in the rifle’s accuracy, reliability, and overall functionality. Available in various calibers and configurations, it allows for customization to meet specific needs. Without it, the rifle cannot function properly.
