Every gas-operated AR (those that don’t employ a piston system) needs a gas block of some type to cycle between shots.

One mil-spec, forged, stripped upper receiver. It’s all you need.
Well, okay, you’ll probably also want an M16 BCG (like this excellent nitride, C158 bolt carrier) and a quality, free-float handguard (like our custom, lightweight M-LOK units). And yeah, you’ll probably want a lower parts kit and a lower receiver, such as our O.G. 80% lowers. The point is, you want to build an AR truly piece by piece. And we’re happy to afford you a perfect M4 flattop clone stripped upper like the unit you see here. It provides that classic Colt profile with a Picatinny rail on top, minus the $400 price tag for that ole’ pony roll mark.
