Great fit and finish. Top quality and customer service. Get this if you want something nice and light, color and coating is also well made.
Get it while it is still available. No Joke, I had to wait and wait for 2 years for this when it was out � of stock during slow to no production for Covid crisis.

Its a beautiful upper, great lines aesthetically pleasing. However with an FN CHF barrel it slips right on in and even has slight play, i expect a tight fit requiring some anti sieze or heat to get a tight snug fitment. However this isnt it, i dont know if i should even try shimming for go through the hassle of a return and just use aero precisions M4E1 line for less money but way better fit.
Pros:
- Looks nice
- Quality machine work
Best Used for:
- non serious uses
- Beginner AR builder.
Would recommend: No

This receiver looks nice and it is something I wish I could use but it doesn't fit Geissele Mk4, Mk8, or Mk14 rails at all. The barrel fit is loose and jiggly tried faxon and ballistic so this receiver is junk that I have to return.looks
Pros:
- Looks real nice in the box

For my first rifle build, a good friend recommended
getting a Fortis upper. Parts are hard to come by these days. Thankfully Optics Planet had some available! Alhough Covid-19 is screwing up deliveries for everywhere, it arrived ahead of the quoted time.

Really impressed with the quality of this billet upper. You can tell the manufacturing and finish of this part is top notch, especially when compared to other parts I’ve ordered recently. There isn’t much availability these days so I took a chance since it was in stock at Optics Planet and I’m pleased with my purchase.
Pros:
- Quality Finish
- Nice coating

Great upper! Used it on a 2A armament billet lower and it's perfect. It's sleek, it's solid, and took the 16 criterion middy very snug. Worth the money. It is a billet and gunsmith had to do very slight tooling for the geissele rail to be installed

Great fit and finish. Installed easily and when the barrel was installed it was true. No spacers needed. Make sure you use a billet lower for best results. Tried it on a forged lower and needed an acuwedge to tighten up the fit.
