Description

The Shark Coast Templar 5.56 16" upper receiver assembly delivers precision-engineered performance for serious shooters demanding reliability and accuracy. This complete upper features a cold hammer-forged barrel and mil-spec construction that maintains consistent sub-MOA groups across extended shooting sessions.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard commercial uppers, the Templar incorporates a proprietary gas system optimization that reduces bolt carrier velocity while maintaining reliable cycling. The enhanced barrel extension uses precision-matched tolerances that exceed mil-spec requirements by 40%. This results in improved accuracy potential and extended component life compared to typical carbine-length systems.

Key Features

16-inch cold hammer-forged 4150 chrome moly vanadium steel barrel with 1:7 twist rate
Mil-spec forged 7075-T6 aluminum upper receiver with M4 feed ramps
Carbine-length gas system with low-profile gas block
A2-style flash hider with standard 1/2x28 threading
Picatinny rail system compatible with standard AR-15 accessories
Phosphate finish on barrel with hard coat anodized receiver
Factory headspaced bolt carrier group included

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-2 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, making this upper suitable for competition shooting, patrol rifles, and precision applications. The carbine-length gas system provides reliable function with both standard and heavy grain projectiles while maintaining manageable recoil impulse. Weather-resistant finishes ensure consistent performance in adverse conditions.
