Yes. You can install the Ghost Firearms Vital .300 Blackout Upper Receiver to your existing AR15 lower receiver and have no issues. You can use your bolt carrier group and charging handle from your S&W upper receiver and it will fit and function fine.

Does this ship to Connecticut? (Home) If not which models?

Expert Answer

These are not Connecticut legal. You would need an unthreaded barrel or a barrel with a pinned and welded muzzle brake (flash hiders are not allowed).

Is the gas block adjustable?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on March 01, 2022

No. The Ghost Firearms Vital .300 Blackout Upper Receiver uses a standard Mil-Spec DI gas block and gas tube. You can always install an aftermarket adjustable .750" gas block if you wanted to.

Is it all able to be disassembled flash hider/handguard/barrel etc. Just in case i feel like doing small uprades over a period of time

A
Answered by Garrett, member, from TX, United States, on December 08, 2021

Yes it breaks down just like any other AR platform. The flash hider is not pinned and welded so it just screws off.
