Reviews & Ratings for Ghost Firearms Elite 16 in 5.56 Complete Upper Receiver with Flash Hider — 28 reviews — Page 1

Awesome in every way , great service, fast shipping.

I’ve been building ARs for a while now and honestly you can’t beat the quality of this upper it’s the best upper to date I’ve tried others but nothing comes close to what this upper offers you will not be disappointed.

Read the specification
To understand what exactly you’ll buy

Budget friendly and quality at the same time. I've put about 150 rounds through this upper so far with absolutely zero issues and competition-grade accuracy. The finish is a bit easy to scratch up, but tools aren't meant to stay pretty forever after all.

I had my concerns with it being the price it is but I zeroed in within the first two shots with pinpoint precision. The quality of the material is solid. The only downside whatsoever would be the handguard is a tad funky and you'll fight to get most mloks seated properly.

Does it do the job? Yes. However the mlok handguard is machined to the wrong size so NO mlok attachments are usable with this upper.

Another user said this was "not a complete upper, it's a stripped upper"... he is WRONG.. a "complete" upper has the dust cover and forward assist installed. a Complete upper receiver as this is, has the afore mentioned items plus a barrel, gas block, handguard and flash hider installed, as this does. The person who posted that review does not know the industry and what the terminologies mean.

As to the item itself, it's excellent for the price. You cannot go wrong here, shoots straight / accurate, looks great, and seems to have excellent grade components. I recommend this completely if you are on the fence... just go into this knowing what the terms are and that you will need a Bolt Carrier group and charging handle. If you think you can get those items WITH all the other items it already has, then you need to think about this... a "decent" BCG by itself goes for around $80 (depending, and trust me, you do NOT want to cheap out on your BCG, I recommend even better ones that start around $135+ for great QC, etc) and a charging handle is $20+ for cheapies and only goes up from there... to think that you would get all that for sub $300 is a little crazy!

Nice clean ceracote. Good quality upper for a good price.

The color is phenomenal! I went with the OD green and it matches the Magpull OD green perfectly. My only complaint is that it was advertised as a complete upper but there is no BCG/CH. Is it on me for not reading the full description? Sure…but if it says “complete” the common shooter is going to expect a BCG/CH to make it “complete”. Other than that, I’m already looking at ghost firearms for an AR9 build.
