Upper Receivers
The upper receiver of the M5 AR308 is the part of the rifle that houses the barrel, bolt carrier group, and charging handle. It also has the mounting points for the handguard, optics, and other accessories.
There are a number of different upper receivers available for the M5 AR308, including: Stripped upper receivers: These upper receivers are not complete and require the user to install the barrel, bolt carrier group, charging handle, and other components. Complete upper receivers: These upper receivers come with the barrel, bolt carrier group, and charging handle pre-installed. This is a good option for users who do not want to assemble their own upper receiver. Upper receiver assemblies: These upper receiver assemblies come with the barrel, bolt carrier group, charging handle, handguard, and optics pre-installed. This is a good option for users who want a complete upper receiver that is ready to go. When choosing an upper receiver for your M5 AR308, there are a few things to keep in mind: Barrel length: The barrel length of your upper receiver will affect the accuracy, velocity, and recoil of your rifle. Shorter barrels are generally more maneuverable, but they can sacrifice accuracy and velocity. Longer barrels are more accurate and have higher velocity, but they can be less maneuverable. Barrel profile: The barrel profile of your upper receiver will affect the weight and heat dissipation of your barrel. Heavier barrels are more accurate and dissipate heat better, but they can also be heavier and less maneuverable. Lighter barrels are less accurate and dissipate heat less well, but they can also be lighter and more maneuverable. Gas system: The gas system of your upper receiver will affect the recoil and reliability of your rifle. There are two main types of gas systems: direct impingement and piston. Direct impingement gas systems are more common and are generally more reliable, but they can also be more dirty. Piston gas systems are less common, but they are cleaner and can be more reliable in dusty or dirty environments.
