NEW!! IRON SIGHT 15 Forged AR15 Upper Receiver

Posted on May 24th, 2013 by ar15news

The new Iron Sight 15 forged AR15 upper receiver’s are now available for purchase.  You might be thinking exactly what I originally thought, “So what, its an AR15 upper”.  Well, you’re right.  The part that makes this upper receiver different is the care taken in finishing the product and really making it one of the nicest I’ve handled.  I was able to get my hands on one for the last week or so and I’ve gotta say….I’m pretty impressed.  

After installing the Dust Cover and Forward Assist I mated it up with a 5.56 Black Hole Weaponry barrel housed in a Seekins Precision MCSR v2 15″ rail.  Slapped on a BattleComp BC2.0 and it was done.  Everything went together nicely and just seemed to click.  I was a bit worried about the anti-rotation tabs on the Seekins rail as some uppers have issues in that area but again, fit like a glove.  

As you’ve probably already noticed there is some laser etching on the left side of the upper.  I typically don’t really care for this kind of thing but it seems to have really grown on me and I actually like it on this one.  They have also added the laser engraved T-marks.  

All in all, I would say this is a very nicely made forged upper receiver.  Nothing extremely different other than the care with which it was created.  I’ve copied the details for the Iron Sight 15 Forged AR15 Upper Receiver below.  The IS15 upper retails for $119.99 but they were nice enough to offer all AR15NEWS readers a discount code.  Use the code “AR15NEWS” at checkout and save yourself $5.  Purchase one for yourself at ISFifteen.com.

NEW!! S & J Tactical Billet AR15 Upper and Matched Billet Receiver Sets

Posted on May 23rd, 2013 by ar15news

Our friends over at S & J Tactical have given us some information regarding their soon to be released billet receiver set.  They have already been selling their billet lowers for a while and everyone seems to be very happy with them.  Now they have the other piece to the puzzle which is their new billet AR15 upper receiver.  As with most things billet the looks are much cooler than the standard forged upper receivers.  I spoke with Shawn at S & J Tactical and he told me they plan to offer the billet upper separately and in matched sets with one of their lowers.  Cost for just the upper should be $230 which is right in line with some other nicely machined billet uppers.  A matched billet set would run $429.99.  I don’t know about you guys but I’m excited to see more billet upper options.  They sell out so fast you can never get one.  Keep an eye on SJTactical.com.  Word is they will be adding them to the website by the weekend.  :)
