The TAPCO TAP22084 AR Hook & Upper Receiver Strut provides critical structural support for AR-15 platform rifles, preventing upper receiver flex during high-volume shooting sessions. This precision-engineered component addresses the inherent weakness in standard AR-15 designs where repeated firing can cause upper receiver distortion.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic AR-15 configurations that rely solely on the barrel extension and bolt carrier group for structural integrity, this hook and strut system creates a rigid connection between the upper receiver and barrel assembly. The design distributes stress loads across multiple contact points, reducing metal fatigue by up to 40% compared to unsupported configurations. This translates to improved accuracy retention and extended component lifespan during sustained firing sequences.Key Features
