An amazing upper for you AR by Cal L, Gear Expert, December 2, 2016
To be fair I haven't used this a ton, but I have near a thousand rounds through it. I have been super impressed by its reliability. I have yet to have a single malfunction, which is amazing to me. It looks a little off compared to a standard AR up, b...

It does not fit properly (Requires hammering the lower pins into the upper in order to fit or filing in contact surfaces). In other words it's out of spec. Noticeable gap between the lower and upper after installation (If you somehow get those pins i...

Arak21 bullpup'd n good to go! by Sev, Verified Owner, August 28, 2025
The fact that you can have this become a bullpup alongside an A3 Industries Triad chasis system AND can shoot 7.62x39 pleases me to no end. Smooth operation, fine cycling, a stiff but solid gas block adjustment, and it shoots accurate enough to notic...

Item discription misleading by Tim Schwarz, Verified Owner, July 12, 2024
Excellent machining, quality fit and finish. I’m not giving Faxon two stars. I’m giving Optics Planet two. What’s included is misleading. I thought I was getting an upper assembled ready for 9mm and a 7.62x39 barrel for conversion. Why use ar9 descri...

Specifications for Faxon Firearms AR15 Upper Receiver Groups 1:

Manufacturer: Faxon Firearms
Finish: Anodized
Color: Black
Fabric/Material: 6061-T6 Aluminum
Gun Type: Rifle
Gun Model: AR-15
Condition: New

Features of Faxon Firearms ARAK-21 Upper Receivers:

  • Fully machined from an aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum billet in a one piece design that incorporates a full length picatinny rail (Mil-STD-1913) on the top and three additional rails on the muzzle end of the receiver, making it a full M4 style quad rail upper. The top picatinny rail is laser engraved for optic placement.
  • Charging handle is ambidextrous, non-reciprocating, foldable, spring returned and is easily relocated from left to right side without tools by the operator.
  • Model ?39? Eight (8) lug bolt design with involute profile for both right and left hand versions. The extractor is positioned at 3 o?clock. This allows for a left hand version to use the same bolt by simply removing the cam pin and rotating 180 degrees and reinstalling the cam pin.
  • Self-contained firing pin retention system enclosed in a rectangular bolt carrier that no longer requires a cotter pin.
  • Bolted in hardened steel rail system for the bolt carrier to ride on. This allows a metal on metal wear surface for better wear characteristics and much smoother operation.
  • Allows a folding stock to be added, as recoil system does not extend beyond the upper receiver to fully operate. Eliminates the noise and feel of the buffer tube cycling back and forth.
