AR-15 Upper Receiver Deals at Dirty Bird Guns & Ammo
At Dirty Bird Guns & Ammo, we’re highlighting six upper receivers and complete AR uppers and related components that stand out not just for their performance—but for their current sale pricing. Whether you’re building your first rifle or upgrading a proven setup, these discounted options represent some of the best value in our catalog. From premium hard-use gear to precision-ready platforms, these uppers offer a range of solutions for serious shooters. Let’s take a closer look at each one.
BCMGUNFIGHTER Assembled AR-15 Upper Receiver
If you’re building a rifle meant for serious, hard-use applications, the BCMGUNFIGHTER Assembled Upper Receiver is the one you want at the top of your list. Built from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished with mil-spec hardcoat anodizing, this upper is engineered for durability, reliability, and performance under pressure. Bravo Company USA is trusted by professional users for good reason—the fitment is precise, the tolerances are tight, and the quality control is second to none.
This is the kind of upper you can bet your life on. It comes pre-assembled, saving time and eliminating guesswork, and while it carries a higher price point even on sale, it reflects the performance and reputation behind the BCM name. Some slight anodizing variation may be present (common with hardcoat finishes), and fitment with non-mil-spec lowers might require minor adjustment—but neither compromises function. If you’re after a rugged, no-nonsense AR-15 upper for duty or defense, this is the one to beat.
Faxon Firearms Bantam 16″ 9mm Barrel Complete AR-15 Upper Receiver
The Faxon Bantam 16″ 9mm Complete Upper Receiver is a standout for pistol caliber carbine enthusiasts. Designed from 7075-T6 aluminum, it features a 16″ barrel and a slim, easy-to-control 15″ handguard—great for dynamic shooting or training setups. It’s compatible with both Colt and Glock magazine lowers, offering flexibility for a range of builds.
As a complete AR-15 upper receiver, it simplifies your build process, and Faxon’s attention to detail ensures smooth operation and tight fitment. While the price reflects its high-end features, even on sale, it’s a solid investment for anyone looking to build a high-performance 9mm AR. Builders working with non-standard lowers may need slight adjustments, but for those chasing reliability in a pistol caliber platform, the Bantam delivers.
Aero Precision M5E1 (.308) Enhanced AR-10 Upper Receiver
For builders stepping into the world of .308 ARs or AR-10 platforms, the Aero Precision M5E1 Enhanced Upper Receiver offers a robust, precision-machined foundation. Forged from 7075-T6 aluminum, its integrated handguard mounting system adds rigidity and improves overall handling. It pairs perfectly with DPMS-pattern lowers and is a great match for long-range shooting or hunting setups where accuracy and strength matter.
This upper has the design and execution you’d expect from Aero Precision—flawless machining, solid lock-up, and consistent performance. It does sit at the higher end of the price spectrum, even with the discount, and the enhanced design may not play well with older or niche .308 components. Still, it’s a worthy upgrade for anyone serious about a durable .308 platform.
Lantac UAR Billet Upper Advanced Receiver
The Lantac UAR Billet Upper Receiver blends visual appeal with serious structural integrity. Machined from 7075-T6 billet aluminum, this upper features a reinforced design that’s built for strength and tight tolerances. It’s not just about function—the styling is clean, modern, and sharp, giving your build a distinctive look.
Lantac is known for high-end craftsmanship, and this upper reflects that pedigree. Its current sale pricing makes it more accessible, though still a premium option. Compatibility with some non-standard lowers might take extra care, but if you’re building a refined, performance-focused rifle, this upper brings both strength and style.
Aero Precision M4E1 Enhanced AR-15 Upper Receiver
Aero’s M4E1 Enhanced Upper Receiver is a favorite among builders who want rock-solid performance with a distinctive look. The angular profile isn’t just for aesthetics—it adds strength while keeping weight reasonable. Forged from 7075-T6 aluminum and designed with Aero’s well-known precision, the M4E1 handles tactical, recreational, or competitive use with ease.
This upper is ideal for builders looking to go beyond basic mil-spec without jumping to billet prices. The threaded barrel nut design does require more attention to barrel compatibility, and it’s positioned more for mid-to-advanced builds, but for the price—especially on sale—it’s a reliable, stylish workhorse.
Aero Precision M5 (.308) Stripped Upper Receiver
For those who want to build their .308 or AR-10 from the ground up, the Aero Precision M5 Stripped Upper Receiver is a solid starting point. Forged from 7075-T6 aluminum and compatible with DPMS-pattern lowers, it gives you flexibility in how you configure your rifle.
Being a stripped upper, it does require additional components and planning, but it’s also what makes it so adaptable. Fitment is generally clean but could need minor tuning if you’re pairing with older or non-standard lowers. At its sale price, the M5 stripped upper offers a great balance of cost and quality for custom .308 builds.
