Description
The Faxon Firearms FX5500-U Ultralight Complete Upper is engineered for shooters who prioritize minimal weight without sacrificing reliability or performance. Built around Faxon's innovative integral muzzle device pencil-profile barrel, this upper delivers excellent balance, fast handling, and reduced recoil in a duty-ready 5.56 NATO configuration. At the heart of the system is a 14.5" lightweight pencil barrel with a permanently welded 3-port muzzle brake, bringing the overall length to a non-NFA 16" while maintaining an exceptionally light front end. The integral design eliminates the need for a separate muzzle device, reducing weight and improving barrel harmonics while providing effective recoil and muzzle rise mitigation. The upper is paired with a 13" carbon fiber M-LOK handguard, offering impressive rigidity at a fraction of the weight of traditional aluminum rails. This keeps the rifle nimble while still providing ample mounting space for accessories. A multi-position adjustable gas block allows fine-tuning for different ammunition or suppressed use, enhancing reliability and shootability. Completing the package is Faxon's Gunner Lightweight M16 bolt carrier group with Superfinish, known for smooth cycling, reduced friction, and long-term durability.
