Overview
The NLX556 GFK Complete Upper is Next Level Armament's assembled AR-15 upper, built to order on its forged NLX556 receiver. The base configuration priced here uses a 16-inch 5.56 NATO Roscoe Bloodline barrel, Next Level's DLC-coated NLX556 bolt carrier group, the NLX556 ambidextrous charging handle, a billet low-profile gas block, and a 13-inch NLA M-LOK handguard.
Buyers pick the muzzle device from Next Level's lineup, with the NLX-5 Hi-Helix flash hider as the default, and can step up to a 15-inch handguard. Next Level also builds it with 11.5 or 7.5 inch 5.56 barrels or 10.5 or 7.5 inch .300 Blackout barrels; those configurations change the barrel tier and caliber, so check the option before treating this row's specs as final. Allow one to two weeks for assembly.
