Alexander Arms AR15 upper receiver in 6.5 Grendel with 18-inch barrel. Purpose-built for hunting with excellent ballistics and accuracy out to extended ranges.
The Alexander Arms AR15 Upper Hunter represents a thoughtful approach to modern rifle design. Built around the 6.5 Grendel cartridge, this upper receiver delivers the kind of performance that serious hunters and precision shooters have come to expect from a purpose-built platform.
The 6.5 Grendel was developed specifically to maximize the potential of the AR platform while maintaining the ergonomics shooters already understand. This cartridge delivers superior ballistics compared to 5.56 NATO, with better energy retention at distance and flatter trajectory—qualities that matter when hunting.
The 18-inch barrel strikes an intelligent compromise. It's long enough to extract meaningful velocity from the 6.5 Grendel round, yet short enough to remain handy in the field or from a vehicle.
Alexander Arms has invested considerable engineering into this platform. The upper receiver is precision-machined and finished to exacting standards, ensuring reliable feeding, extraction, and accuracy across a wide range of ammunition.
This is a complete upper assembly—simply mate it to a compatible AR15 lower receiver and you're ready to shoot.
