Why Upgrade to a 22 ARC Upper Assembly? Precision Performance & Ballistics
The 22 ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) has redefined the ballistic ceiling of the AR-15 platform. By choosing a purpose-built 22 ARC Upper Assembly, you are transitioning from a standard 5.56 NATO carbine to a high-velocity, long-range precision system capable of rivaling the .22-250 Remington. Our uppers are engineered to maximize the 22 ARC’s unique geometry, utilizing a 1:7 twist rate to stabilize heavy-for-caliber, high-BC bullets that maintain supersonic speeds well beyond the 1,000-yard mark. Our 22 ARC upper receivers utilize a 6.5 Grendel Type II bolt carrier group since the parent case of the 22 ARC is 6.5 Grendel.
All AR15 Elite AR-15 uppers are American Made and machined by manufacturers of high quality, industry specific, mil-spec AR-15 components. Every upper we ship is individually checked for headspace using Manson go and no-go gauges prior to shipping to ensure safety and proper function. Pick from our 22 ARC upper assemblies selection of different length barrels and materials like 416R stainless steel to satisfy your project goals. 22 ARC is rapidly becoming a favorite caliber on the market for those seeking a leg up on 5.56/223.

| Feature | Specification | Why It Matters |
| Cartridge | 22 ARC (Hornady) | Delivers bolt-gun ballistics (22-250) in a semi-auto AR-15, offering flatter trajectories and higher velocity. |
| Barrel Twist | 1:7 or 1:8 Twist | Specifically engineered to stabilize modern, heavy, high-BC projectiles (like 62gr-88gr) for extreme long-range accuracy. |
| Gas System | Rifle-Length | Softens the recoil impulse and slows down the action, reducing parts wear and keeping your sight picture steady. |
| Bolt Face | 6.5 Grendel (Type II) | The 22 ARC uses a larger casing base; a Grendel Type II bolt is required for proper extraction and headspacing. |
| Barrel Material | 416R Stainless Steel | Provides match-grade precision and superior corrosion resistance, ideal for precision varmint and target rifles. |
| Handguard | M-LOK Free-Float | Eliminates pressure on the barrel for better harmonics and allows easy mounting of bipods, lights, or ARCA rails. |
| Muzzle Thread | 1/2x28 TPI | The industry standard for .224 caliber bores, making it easy to swap the flash hider for a suppressor or muzzle brake. |
