Wilson Combat Recon 5.56 NATO Fluted 16" Barrel Complete Upper Receiver

The Wilson Combat 5.56 NATO 16" Fluted Recon Complete Upper Receiver is built for shooters who demand match-grade precision in a platform tough enough for hard training, practical field use, and high-volume firing. Designed around Wilson Combat’s renowned Recon barrel architecture, this upper delivers exceptional consistency shot after shot, making it a strong choice for defense, hunting, and competitive carbine roles alike.

What sets this Recon upper apart is the quality of its core components. The 16" 416R stainless steel Recon-profile barrel—featuring six-groove button rifling and a 1:8 twist—has long been recognized as the backbone of Wilson’s most accurate tactical carbines. Paired with an intermediate-length gas system for smoother recoil impulses and improved reliability, it provides the kind of performance serious shooters rely on. The included Q-Comp muzzle device offers tunable control without excessive blast, while the 15" M-LOK handguard keeps the setup slim, rigid, and accessory-ready.

The forged upper receiver wears Wilson’s Armor-Tuff finish, ensuring durability in any environment, and comes complete with a Nickel Boron BCG for clean operation and long-term reliability. Whether you're building a precision AR-15 or upgrading an existing rifle, this Recon Complete Upper brings the craftsmanship and performance Wilson Combat is known for.
