AR22 Heavy Precision Upper (18.5″ Shaw Heavy)

Description

Overview

The BoreBuddy Complete AR22 Heavy Precision Upper delivers match-grade .22LR performance for shooters who demand precision and reliability.

Unlike conversion kits, this is a dedicated .22LR upper designed to drop in on any standard AR-15 lower.
