What is the BROWNELLS - BRN 733 C7 5.56 Upper Receiver, 11.5" 1-7 Twist Black?
The Brownells 733 C7 Upper Receiver, a classic reborn!

Featuring an 11.5" lightweight "A1" profile barrel, 1-7 twist, C7 upper with shell defector and a CAR handguards, the Commando is a unique entry into the AR-15 series. It is a mix of old school and new school, a transition from the M16A1 to the M4 platform of today.

The 733 C7 includes enough modern features to make it a viable "go to" setup, especially for those seeking a carry handle receiver. The A1 rear sight nestled in the C7 upper receiver, is known for being extremely robust and dependable. The C7 upper, originally only found on Canadian AR-15 models, is a blend of the M16A1 and M16A2, being essentially an M16A1 receiver with the "Burton bump" shell deflector found on the M16A2 receiver. This lefty friendly feature is now commonplace on modern forged uppers.

The barrel is 11.5 inches in length, with a 5.56x45mm chamber and 1-7 twist, making it a unique carry handle configuration with the tighter twist. The barrel features a chrome bore and chamber with a phosphate exterior finish. This light barrel makes the short upper extemely handy. The barrel is capped with an A1 flash hider. The included bolt carrier group is a standard mil-spec version, with a phosphate exterior and chrome interior carrier and gas key.

Features:
  • C7 type upper receiver with shell deflector
  • A1 flash hider
  • CAR handguard with heatshield
  • 11.5 inch 5.56x45mm barrel with chrome bore and chamber
  • 1-7 twist
  • A1 rear sight assembly
  • A1 round front sight post
  • Non-F-marked front sight base
  • Front Sling Swivel
  • M16 bolt carrier group with phosphate finish, chrome bore
  • Mil-spec charging handle

Turn up the HEAT!
Excellent quality upper. Used this to build my HEAT 733 clone. Replaced the teardrop forward assist for a normal one. Zeroed at 25 meters and tested accuracy out to 250 meters. Great groupings within 1.5 inches at 25m. Shoots loud and proud without any malfunctions with steel and brass case ammo.

This review brought to you by Carry Handle Gang
This complete upper receiver looks great, no issues that I see with the BCG, charging handle, or sights. Only complaint is that it doesn't come with M4 feed ramps, but that wouldn't be clone correct. It definitely would be a practical improvement that's not seen without close inspection. I did have to ask customer support to confirm the A1 flash hider is NATO mil-spec because I have a suppressor coming that can use NATO mil-spec muzzle devices to mount.

AR carry handle top assembly
I have been trying to find one of these carry-handle topend assemblies for many years. I am really thankful that your company changed my quest into a reality.

Way over gassed
I love the upper, but I worry about the longevity. This thing beats itself up, bad. The BCG had insaine wear after 90 rounds. I am using a blue springco and H2 buffer, and still getting 2 oclock ejection
