The Criterion CORE Series 16" .223 Wylde mid-length barrel is the perfect balance of elite match-grade precision, durable build quality, and modern engineering—all without the premium price tag. Its continuous taper profile strategically adds mass near the chamber, improving heat management during rapid fire sessions while keeping the rifle well-balanced and agile, even with optics, lights, or suppressors attached.
Crafted from rugged 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel and finished with Criterion’s industry-leading chrome lining, this barrel resists corrosion and boasts a lifespan of 15,000–20,000+ rounds—outlasting typical stainless barrels prone to throat erosion under heavy use. The precision button rifling and hand-lapping ensure consistent sub-MOA accuracy and easy cleaning, while the .223 Wylde chamber safely handles both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammo with enhanced accuracy over standard 5.56 chambers.
With a mid-length gas system renowned for smooth recoil impulse and reliable cycling, this barrel delivers about 95% of the performance of top-tier competitors like Proof, Bartlein, and Krieger—at a fraction of the cost and with superior durability in the field. Simply put, the Criterion CORE barrel is the smart, confidence-inspiring upgrade for any serious AR-15 build designed for competition, duty, or defense.
At the core of this premium AR-15 upper is the Toolcraft DLC Full-Auto Bolt Carrier Group, selected for unmatched reliability, durability, and proven OEM pedigree.
The IonBond Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating boasts over 90 Rockwell C hardness, offering a slick, self-lubricating surface that reduces friction, withstands corrosion, and simplifies maintenance—even under harsh conditions. This BCG features a full-auto (M16) profile that smooths recoil, improves cycling, and extends service life while maintaining full legal compliance.
Crafted from proprietary aircraft-grade 8620 steel and paired with a Carpenter 158/9310 heat-treated bolt, staked gas key, and hard chrome firing pin, the Toolcraft DLC BCG is rigorously tested through Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI), High Pressure Testing (HPT), and shot peening. Backed by a lifetime warranty and trusted by military and professional shooters, it delivers battle-ready performance with exceptional smoothness and reliability.
No corners are cut in our top-tier AR-15 assemblies, and the BCM upper receiver with Dry Film Lubricant coating epitomizes military-grade craftsmanship, durability, and universal compatibility.
Forged from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminum and finished with Mil-Spec Type III Class 2 hard-coat anodizing, this receiver is built to endure rigorous use and harsh environments. The interior DFL coating reduces friction and extends lifecycle, outperforming traditional wet lubricants by preventing dust and debris buildup, which enhances reliability and ease of maintenance.
Trusted by military and law enforcement, BCM’s upper features precision CNC machining and laser-engraved T-marks for accessory placement. Its mil-spec dimensions guarantee a tight, wobble-free fit on all mil-spec lowers—whether forged, billet, polymer, or custom builds—making it a versatile, rigid, and accurate platform.
Chosen by USSOCOM for the URG-I rifle, the Geissele MK16 handguard brings battlefield-proven reliability and engineering excellence to our AR-15 uppers.
Its proprietary barrel nut and anti-rotation tabs eliminate flex and rotation for unparalleled rigidity and repeatable accuracy, critical when mounting optics, lights, and bipods. Crafted from lightweight 7000-series aluminum with a military-grade hard coat anodized finish, it balances strength with low weight for superior control and endurance.
Offering a full-length MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail atop and M-LOK slots on all four sides, the MK16 provides maximum modularity and accessory compatibility. Its slim profile also improves heat dissipation and shooting comfort during extended sessions.
Why We Chose the BCM Low Profile Gas Block (.625")

Made from durable steel with a protective phosphate finish and held securely by knurled steel set screws, it delivers a solid, precise fit on .625" barrels to ensure consistent gas flow and dependable cycling.
Unlike adjustable gas blocks, which require tuning and maintenance, this fixed gas block offers a simple, worry-free solution that avoids overgassing and excessive carbon buildup. Renowned for its tight fit, smooth finish, and overall durability, the BCM gas block reflects Bravo Company’s commitment to top-tier military spec quality and performance.
This gas block is our trusted choice for reliable, maintenance-light operation in both tactical and competition setups.
The Radian Raptor combines rugged durability, ergonomic design, and ambidextrous usability into one essential upgrade.

It’s designed for both left- and right-handed shooters, facilitating rapid and intuitive bolt cycling without binding.
Its sleek profile clears accessories and optics, while the SD variant’s patented gas port reduces gas blowback to the shooter's face when suppressed. Trusted by military, law enforcement, and competitors, it offers a smooth, reliable operation backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
The VG6 Epsilon SL seamlessly integrates the functions of a muzzle brake, compensator, and flash hider to optimize recoil control and reduce muzzle rise.
Its six-valve design allows fast follow-up shots and a flat shooting experience, while the extended flash-hiding prongs enhance sight picture clarity.
