Questions & Answers
How much does it weigh? Expert Answer

The upper receiver weighs 9.2 ounces.

by Armando R., Gear Expert, June 17, 2021
Recent purchase. Wanted to pair with SI Ultimate Dust Cover, but having compatibility issues. Can anyone advise of a Dust Cover that is a good fit?

Update! Replacement found, Magpul Enhanced Ejection Port Cover. Fits perfectly and works great so far. It's made out of polymer, prefer metal, but willing to give it a chance.

Very Good Billet Receiver by Roger, Verified Owner, April 30, 2021
I wanted a billet receiver that would match with my JBO Spartan Billet lower. This upper had a perfect fit to my lower, no slop at all. As far as second cool, it looks awesome. I used SI dust cover and forward assist, no issues installing them.

DEFECTIVE, DO NOT BUY! by edman, Verified Owner, January 2, 2021
I was really excited for this product when I saw it on back order. I went on to their website and saw they had a nice laser logo on the back side of it with DH. But when I received it, it had a crappier logo on the side of the charging handle area. T...

Product Info for Dark Hour Defense AR15 Billet Upper Receiver

The Dark Hour Defense AR15 Billet Upper Receiver features a rigid design for increased accuracy. The upper is machined from 7075 T6 billet aluminum, and has a type 3 mil-spec hard coat anodizing. The upper has extended feed ramps and a 1913 top rail. The design features a "dove tail", which is an elongated triangular section at the rear of the receiver; this increases rigidity. The triangular section at the rear of the receiver enhances reliability and function as the triangular section extends back towards the shooter. The design of the upper has a "widened slot" to accommodate the installation of a rail section (such as a hand guard or a bipod) without sacrificing the iconic look of an AR.image
