Elevate your AR-15 to elite long-range precision with the 20″ Rifle .224 Valkyrie Medium Spiral Fluted Nitride Upper Assembly. Designed for shooters demanding exceptional performance beyond 1,000 yards, this complete upper harnesses the .224 Valkyrie’s superior ballistics—offering flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and reduced recoil compared to traditional .223 Remington or even .308 Winchester—without the need to upgrade to an AR-10 platform. Crafted with premium components, it delivers sub-MOA accuracy right out of the box, transforming your rifle into a reliable tool for competitive shooting, hunting, or tactical applications.
Superior Engineering for Unmatched Long-Range Capability
This upper assembly is meticulously built to meet the .224 Valkyrie’s unique demands, avoiding the pitfalls of generic components that compromise accuracy and reliability. The 20-inch medium contour barrel features spiral fluting that shaves 18% off the weight while preserving structural integrity for consistent cold-bore shots and efficient heat dissipation during extended sessions. The nitride finish enhances corrosion resistance and barrel longevity, outperforming standard phosphate coatings in harsh environments.
Paired with a rifle-length gas system tuned precisely to the cartridge’s pressure curve, it ensures smooth cycling and minimal recoil. Our American-made M-LOK handguards provide a lightweight, modular platform for accessories, maintaining zero under sustained fire—unlike budget alternatives with flimsy aluminum rails.
