There’s a reason other reputable manufacturer, such as Noveske and others Use this upper and just stamp their logo on it. This upper(And it’s corresponding lower) Should be the standard receivers for all ARs.

Looks great shipped fast. I got a Roscoe barrel for it which doesn’t fit super snug but not super loose. Other than that great quality

Durable and well machined. Not really much changed visually from milspec but does have signs of unique parts here and there.
Simply does it's job well and doesn't let you down. Vltor makes quality products.

The Vltor MUR AR15 UPPER Receiver is a quality product that did not require honing of the receiver face, although shimming of the barrel extension on BSF carbon fiber barrel was required. Fitment to a standard lower required minimum fitment modifcation.
Pros:
- increased potential rigidity for accuracy
Cons:
- Slightly heavier due to increased structure
Would recommend: Yes

I ordered VLTOR Upper because it had beefed up wall thickness and the Forward Assist button is moved forward to clear the Charging Handle. I didn’t want to pay more for billet. It mated to AP M4E1 pretty good but there is a very little play at forward pin. The lower has a tension screw on back Take Down Pin but if you put tension on Take Down Pin to completely eliminate play then you can’t remove Pin. The tension screw is cover by grip so it’s not easy to access. Interior was machined very slick and dry film lube. Matched up well with Geissele Handrail. Faxon Gunner Barrel was very tight tolerance fit, exactly what I expected.
Would recommend: Yes

I purchased this from the recommendations of the other reviews. And boy was I impressed! It’s a “take no prisoners” tough little part. Somehow it makes the standard “forged look” look good. I’m more than impressed with the craftsmanship and ease of use. I’ll always recommend this piece to anyone who will listen to my opinion. Love it!
Pros:
- Ease of use
- durable
- tough
- ease of assembly
- Craftsmanship
Cons:
- Price is more expensive than a lot of other uppers
Best Used for:
- Anything but a lightweight build.
Would recommend: Yes

I only buy the VLTOR MURS uppers when I am doing a "keeper" build. You can go with a matched billet upper/lower but why pay the extra money when this really is the best upper available. In my opinion they work best when you are going for either an accuracy build or a competition gun.

If your looking for an upper receiver with a little extra strength this is the one you want. This is my 3rd AR and every one of them is sporting this upper receiver. The fit and finish is amazing and it really gives your AR a mean look. It's very well machined and always to specs. If your looking for a top of the line stripped upper you found it. Just make sure your rail system will work with this upper some rail systems don't work with this upper. I personally use nothing but Daniel Defense rails and have never had an issue with them. I would highly recommend this upper receiver ESPECIALLY for long, heavy barrel or precision AR's. Doesn't mean you can't use it for a regular carbine which I do and will continue to use Vltor, pronounced Ultor.
Pros:
- Material
- extremely durable
- Thicker than basic models
Would recommend: Yes
