Stern Defense 010 AR-15 Stripped Upper Receiver - 7075-T6 Aluminum Anodized

The Stern Defense 010 Stripped Upper Receiver is a precision-machined AR-15 platform component built from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished in a durable anodized coating. Designed as a direct-fit replacement or custom-build foundation, this stripped upper ships ready for the installation of your preferred barrel, handguard, bolt carrier group, and charging handle.

Machined from solid 7075-T6 aluminum, the receiver delivers the strength and rigidity the AR-15 platform demands while keeping weight to a minimum. The anodized finish provides reliable corrosion and wear resistance for long service life whether you are assembling a competition upper, a duty-grade build, or simply replacing a worn component. As a stripped receiver, it includes no barrel, handguard, BCG, or muzzle device, giving the builder full freedom to configure the upper to match a specific caliber, barrel length, and accessory setup.

The Stern Defense 010 is engineered for AR-15 builders who want a dependable starting point for a custom upper assembly. Pair it with your preferred barrel, chambering, and handguard system to complete your build.
