Prepare a rugged, suppressor-optimized AR-15 for demanding duty and tactical scenarios with the Faxon Duty Series 16" SOCOM 5.56 Barreled Upper - Suppressor Ready—a factory-assembled barreled upper assembly engineered for sustained fire, heat management, and reliable suppressed performance. This suppressor-ready upper includes the heavy SOCOM-profile barrel, enhanced forged AR15 upper receiver, patented adjustable gas block, mid-length stainless gas tube, and MuzzLok® Plan B compatible flash hider—ideal for duty rifles, high-volume training, defensive builds, or any application requiring consistent accuracy and suppressor integration (requires BCG, charging handle, and lower to complete).
Centered on a Duty Series 16" SOCOM-profile 5.56 barrel (4150 CrMoV steel, black nitride QPQ finish, 1:8 twist, mid-length gas), paired with Faxon's enhanced forged AR15 upper receiver and modified feed ramps for smooth cycling. The patented adjustable .750" low-profile gas block allows precise tuning for suppressed or unsuppressed use, while the MuzzLok® Plan B flash hider (1/2x28, .250" bore) ensures repeatable timing and direct HUB-mount suppressor compatibility. The heavy SOCOM contour excels at dissipating heat and minimizing mirage during rapid or prolonged fire. Made in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio with Faxon's lifetime warranty.
