Milspec C7 Carry Handle Upper Receiver - Complete - Retro

Clone-correct C7 carry handle upper for M16A1E1, Gordon Carbine and CAR-15 retro builds

The C7 carry handle upper receiver is one of the hardest-to-source parts for accurate A1-era clone work, which is exactly why Charlie's partnered with Potomac Armory on a dedicated forging run built to the specs retro and military clone builders actually need. The C7 was the transitional variant between the A1 and A2 — an A1-pattern upper with the A1 rear sight and round forward assist, but with the shell deflector that became standard on the A2. No M4 feed ramps, no A2 case deflector bumps, and no compromises on the period-correct profile that makes or breaks a serious clone.

Each upper is forged from 7075 aluminum, Type III hard-coat anodized in your choice of gray or black, and arrives with LuthAR A1 rear sights, the round forward assist, and the dust cover already installed. It's the right piece for Gordon Carbine builds, M16E1 "Commando" clones, and any CAR-15 variant that needs a correct carry handle upper. If you've been hunting for a clone-correct C7 upper, stop hunting — order yours from Charlie's Custom Clones today.
