I bought this for a new build to give it a shot. Its a great upper, with as noted some issues with the port door opening. I had to change to a port door with a larger tab mechanism because the first one I put on, mil spec, would not stay closed. Beyond that, I like everything about this upper receiver and have several hundred rounds through it. Very good billet upper for the price of many forged uppers.
Pros:
- Price
- lifetime warranty
- Appears to be well made.
- Good looking and works great
Would recommend: Yes

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.
Would recommend: Yes

I’d recommend getting some other upper that doesn’t have issues. The port door is completely out of spec. You literally have to press against it really hard to close. I tried it with a strike industries billet port door purposely for this billet upper - did not work. But I tried it on 2 of my other uppers with no issues. Plus, there’s no back logo as the picture stated. I really wanted to love this thing but now I have to spend more to get what I want.
Would recommend: No

The machining and design looks nice, but the area forward of the ejection port and behind the barrel nut are not Mil-Spec dimensions.
As such, if you have a handguard with anti-rotation tabs or wraparound design, it may not fit. Some may see this as a "feature" because it's thicker where it supports the barrel extension, but compatibility with Mil-Spec dimensions is more important, I'd think.
Pros:
- Solidly built
- Nice machining
Would recommend: Yes

I've been looking for a billet upper receiver that was the right price range and not overly expensive. I came across dark hour defense upper receiver and the price was right!!! the fit and finish was spot on, it had extended feed ramps which is a plus. But over all if your in the market check out dark hour defense products.
