High Quality, Low Price

by Andrew, Gear Expert from IL, United States Written on August 31, 2021
Best budget upper on the market PERIOD! Features and craftsmanship on this upper are in line with uppers that are 2x the price. Significantly better quality than other uppers you will find in this price range from Bear Creek, PSA, etc. Very happy with my purchase.
Most Helpful Positive Review Fantastic Upper for the Price
This is the first time trying out a Trybe Defense product. The fit & finish of this upper is really nice. No scratches or dings. This is the first Stainless Steel barrel I have and it's a very accurate shooting barrel. The BCG looks great too. I haven't had any issues or malfunctions while shoot...

Most Helpful Negative Review 50/50 - READ BEFORE YOU BUY
I ordered this for a build I hope to complete next month. Not a bad price. First Trybe product I have purchased. A few dings and scratches out of the box, minimal, but still there. A few things I noticed: 1. The upper receiver won't drop completely into my lower receiver so I will either have to dr...

Excellent Upper

by Luke Anderson, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on August 5, 2024
I own this upper and absolutely love it. I enjoyed it so much I ordered the Trybe charging handle and the upgraded nickel boron bcg from Trybe. This upper now functions better than uppers 3 times the price. Extremely smooth and accurate. I encourage anyone to give Trybe a try. I switched all my BCGs in my 223/556/300AAC rifles over to the Trybe nickel boron bolt that 40 dollar upgrade was a drastic improvement. I can't speak for everyone but I am definitely a Trybe Defense fan.
Pros:
  • Quality
  • accuracy
  • Functionality
  • Looks
Cons:
  • None

Barrel & upper fine. Barrel Shroud: "Ouch!"

by Mike H, Verified Owner from OK, United States Written on April 16, 2024
This upper assembly is pretty well built. Everything seems tight and within spec. Have not fired it yet. I do not like the barrel shroud, however. Lots of sharp edges and large holes along the top and bottom at the 45, 135, 225 & 315 angled edges. Will probably need to find something better.

Kinda Disappointed

by Demon King Lamb, Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on January 26, 2024
It's a good upper. Except the untreated 4140 steel barrel is now rusting. Gas block set screws have perma loctite, making it impossible to remove. Whonever thought of that, I loath you entirely. So now I either have to take a torch to cut it off, or get a whole new barrel nut and handguard just to replace the barrel. I wouldn't recommend it really. It's one of those "You get what you pay for"

Good For The Money

by Philip Jones, from MT, United States Written on January 19, 2024
I have not put many rounds through it. It looks good and shoots good so far. I gave it a four star for minor defects like dimpling in the hand guard and the dust cover spring is so stiff it can be difficult to charge. I think that will break in with use though. You get what you pay for and this is a good budget option.
Pros:
  • afforable
Cons:
  • cosmetic
