The Templar Precision XM-AR15-52-1 upper assembly delivers enhanced accuracy and reliability for AR-15 platform rifles. This precision-engineered component transforms standard builds into competition-ready firearms with match-grade performance standards.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard mil-spec uppers, the XM-AR15-52-1 features a free-floating handguard system that eliminates barrel harmonics interference. The precision-machined 7075-T6 aluminum construction provides superior rigidity compared to standard 6061 aluminum components. Heat-treated steel components throughout the bolt carrier group ensure consistent lockup and extended service life beyond 10,000 rounds.
Key Features
- Free-floating 15-inch M-LOK handguard for enhanced accuracy potential
- Chrome-lined 16-inch barrel with 1:7 twist rate optimized for 55-77 grain projectiles
- Precision-machined upper receiver with M4 feed ramps
- Low-profile gas block with adjustable gas system
- Nickel boron coated bolt carrier group for reduced friction and easy cleaning
- Compatible with standard AR-15 lower receivers and accessories
- Continuous Picatinny rail system for optics mounting
Field testing demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy potential with match ammunition, making this upper suitable for precision shooting applications, competitive events, and professional use. The adjustable gas system allows fine-tuning for various ammunition weights and suppressor use. Weather-resistant finishes and corrosion-resistant coatings ensure reliable function in adverse conditions from desert heat to maritime environments.
