The Global Ordnance Monolithic Upper Assembly delivers precision engineering for AR-15 platform builds requiring compact barrel length with full-size performance. This complete upper receiver system combines a 12.5-inch barrel with integrated KeyMod handguard in a single machined unit for enhanced rigidity and accuracy.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional two-piece designs, this monolithic construction eliminates potential flex points between the barrel extension and handguard. The one-piece machined aluminum design provides a continuous platform from receiver to muzzle, resulting in improved harmonics and consistent point of impact. Standard mil-spec threading accepts common muzzle devices while the KeyMod interface offers lighter weight compared to Picatinny rail systems.

Key Features

  • 12.5-inch chrome moly vanadium steel barrel with 1:7 twist rate for heavy bullets
  • Monolithic aluminum construction eliminates handguard-to-receiver joint flex
  • KeyMod attachment system reduces weight while maintaining accessory compatibility
  • Mil-spec Picatinny receiver rail accepts standard optics and backup sights
  • 5.56 NATO chamber handles both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition
  • Black polymer pistol grip included for complete lower receiver compatibility
  • Standard AR-15 barrel extension threads for suppressor and muzzle device mounting
This barrel length strikes an optimal balance for close-quarters applications while maintaining effective range out to 300 yards. The 12.5-inch profile provides complete powder burn for standard 5.56 loads while keeping overall length manageable in confined spaces. Law enforcement and competitive shooters favor this configuration for its maneuverability without sacrificing ballistic performance in urban environments.

Technical Specs

  • Caliber: 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington
  • Barrel Length: 12.5 inches
  • Twist Rate: 1:7 inches
  • Handguard: KeyMod compatible aluminum
  • Receiver: Mil-spec Picatinny rail
  • Finish: Black anodized aluminum
  • Thread Pitch: 1/2x28 TPI
  • Overall Weight: Approximately 2.8 pounds
This monolithic upper assembly represents solid engineering for builders seeking enhanced accuracy potential in a compact package. The integrated design eliminates common accuracy issues found in standard AR-15 configurations while maintaining full parts compatibility.
