Build your next AR-15 with confidence. The TacFire Stripped Upper Receiver UP01C gives shooters and builders a rock-solid foundation for accurate, reliable 5.56/.223 rifles. Forged from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished in a durable black anodize, this upper delivers the strength, corrosion resistance, and clean fitment that discerning enthusiasts expect—without unnecessary frills or weight.

Why choose the TacFire UP01C Upper?

• Mil-pattern compatibility: Designed around standard AR-15 specs for broad compatibility with common barrels, handguards, bolt carrier groups, and charging handles.

• Forged 7075-T6 strength: A step above 6061, 7075-T6 is prized for its superior tensile strength—ideal for a long-life build that can handle hard use.

• Clean, black anodized finish: The hard, uniform coating resists wear, blends with most lowers, and looks great on duty-ready or minimalist builds.

• Stripped = total control: Start with a precise shell and add exactly the components you want (dust cover, forward assist assembly, barrel, etc.).

• Trustworthy fitment: Consistent machining and alignment surfaces help your barrel and handguard install true—supporting better accuracy potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this compatible with .223 Wylde barrels?
A: Yes—when paired with a properly chambered .223 Wylde barrel and correctly headspaced BCG, the receiver works great for .223 Wylde builds.

Q: Does it include the forward assist or dust cover?
A: No. This is a stripped upper; those parts are sold separately so you can choose your preferred components.

Q: Will it match my lower?
A: It uses a standard black anodized finish that pairs well with most black anodized AR-15 lowers. Minor shade differences between manufacturers/production runs are normal.

Q: Can I run optics out of the box?
A: Yes—the flat-top Picatinny rail is optics-ready. You’ll still need to complete the upper with the appropriate components (barrel, BCG, etc.) before live fire.

Compliance & Safety

• Know your local laws. Some configurations and features may be regulated in certain jurisdictions.
