Aegis 16.5-Inch Mid-Gas .223 Wylde AR-15 Complete Upper with Plan B Scorch

This complete upper pairs a 16.5-inch .223 Wylde barrel with a freefloat M-Lok handguard, mid-length gas system, and Plan B Scorch 3-prong flash hider. The 1:7 twist rate handles a wide range of .223 Wylde ammunition, from lighter target loads to heavier projectiles. The nitride-finished 4150 steel barrel resists corrosion while the 7075 T6 upper receiver and included bolt carrier group deliver reliable cycling. This is a complete upper assembly ready for pairing with your lower receiver.

• 16.5-inch nitride-finished 4150 steel barrel with 1:7 twist rate and mid-length gas system

Perfect For

• Builders seeking a complete upper assembly without lower receiver commitment
• Shooters wanting a mid-length gas system with a practical barrel length
• Enthusiasts building a .223 Wylde platform for versatile ammunition compatibility
• Those integrating Plan B modular muzzle devices into their setup

Plan B Scorch Modular Mounting

The Plan B Scorch 3-prong flash hider supports the Plan B modular suppressor mounting ecosystem. This design allows you to swap compatible suppressors and muzzle devices without removing the flash hider itself. The modular system reduces downtime between configurations and simplifies accessory changes on the fly.

Mid-Length Gas System and Barrel Synergy

The 16.5-inch barrel paired with a mid-length gas system creates a balanced platform. Mid-length gas systems reduce felt recoil and brass ejection distance compared to carbine-length systems on similar barrel lengths. The 1:7 twist rate stabilizes a broad range of .223 Wylde ammunition, making this upper suitable for both target shooting and general purpose use.
